Not your reading comprehension. Your having read anything earlier in the thread, regarding STI's sales in CA. Your comments made no sense in light of the facts.
So people hate California, and gun owners in California. Whoopee. We're all really impressed.
The fact is, Barrett did something that may not have much of a practical impact, but did make a statement. I really support their doing it.
So, STI thinks, "hmm, this is a way to turn the fact that we don't sell in California into a PR thing, and maybe we'll get some dumb people to think we're really making a statement, too."
Three big differences between them and Barrett: they won't sell to civilians in California, either -- of course they didn't, anyway; this means they are doing nothing that will help have microstamping thrown out by the courts, so they save money on lawsuits while claiming they're pro-RKBA, and people like you actually believe them; they're doing exactly what the anti's want to accomplish by making it harder to sell guns to civilians: they're not selling civilians guns.
If every gunmaker follows suit, the anti's win.
But hey, "Rah, rah, California sucks, guns rule! Yay!" That's the mentality of too many here.
Like I said, I support Barrett. What they did was different, even if symbolic.
