just like everybody else.) They also run at least one other business out of the offices there – their security contract
company, MVM. (I worked for Mr. Marquez for a few months back in the mid-90’s, but I won’t get into that here.)
Again, capitalism – knock yourself out.
The part that makes me scratch my head and say, “
WTF!?”, though, is the hypocrisy of them running their firearms-based
business/range (SEG), and MVM, Inc. (armed guards being a part of their offerings), but then turn around and give money
to politicians who have demonstrated time and again that they don’t believe that Joe Citizen should own a cap-gun, let
alone an EBR, etc. (Yeah, it’s a run-on sentence, but I’m fussing….
)
Where is their mindset? Do they think that by lining Joe Politician’s campaign coffers with their $$, that they’ll get special
treatment? (The ‘Some animals are more equal than others’ mindset?) Or that because they have GOV contracts that they’ll
be given special waivers? I just don’t get it – just like Holly-weird: Make $$ using firearms in your movies, but then get up in
public and rant about how nobody should be able to own them.
In this case, make $$ with your range and gunshop, and peddle armed security to your clients, but then turn around and
donate some of said $$ to the politicians/crooks who’d love to take them away from ‘us commoners’…..
