Holy hell. It's like giving a loaded gun to a chimpanzee...
the last thing you need is rabies. You're already angry enough as it is.OTOH, there wouldn't be a tweeker left in Georgia...
BLOOD FOR THE BLOOD GOD! SKULLS FOR THE SKULL THRONE! AND THROW SOME STEAK ON THE GRILL!
Tim over at the Military Arms Channel and some of his supporters have started looking into gear companies and are discovering that a whole bunch of them donate to Democrats. Example: EOTech was found to have donated $40K to Diane Feinstein. Looking at the lengthening list, I'd dare to estimate half of the big gear companies have donated to candidates who have run on a platform including some call for gun control. At this rate, we will have darn few companies to actually buy from if we boycott all of the "offenders". Though, it will make shopping easier.
There's a link to the podcast in the parallel discussion on The Firing Line forum.I have been following the discussion on The Firing Line, and I am both surprised and disappointed at home many people on that forum are posting in defense of Benchmade. I did not expect that on a firearms forum.
You're surprised? Look at how many in the firearms community rushed to S&W's defense back in 2000 when the company signed a deal with the Clinton Administration? How many people rushed out to defend the "gun writers" who came out against AR-15 style rifles -- Dick Metcalf, Jim Zumbo, Jerry Tsai?
And, I suspect, the mix wasn't that much different then, either.
