Quoted:
Are there any companies that give a proud “fuck you” to the anti gun people while also not donating behind the scenes? Who is ACTUALLY for gun rights and has the backbone to say it and mean it? Who says I won’t give those gun grabbing sons of bitches a penny and really doesn’t? I want to buy their shit. https://www.opensecrets.org/donor-lookup/results?name=&cycle=&state=&zip=&employ=midway+usa&cand= |

Trump donated to Democrats too.   Trump donated to antigun Dems as well. Nearly everyone in a large enough business donates to whoever makes them money, that's the way it works in the system we have. I'm not mad at Trump for it because if you want to make money you play the game. You donate to the people on committees and that have oversight over what you care about. It's just funny that everyone is freaking out about a few thousand dollars when this stuff goes on every day in much, much larger amounts. We have politicians introducing bills they've never even read that were written by lobbyists simply because the politician was paid to do so. Does that make a company giving $10k or $15k to antigun politicians OK? Of course not. If you want to not support a company that does that then that's very understandable. Is it that big of a deal in light of what all actually goes on in the cesspool of politics and does this merit outrage? Nope. Don't hate the player, hate the game. Drain the swamp if you want it fixed, until that's done this is the way things will be. The political class control the strings of power, you want that permit or contract you pay for it. |

Quoted: Inforce Elzetta O-light The don't have the same wide spread holster compatibility as Surefire and Streamlight, but you can still find holsters for them. BUT. I'd do it if I hadn't quit buying Surefire a decade ago. |

I understand Surefire to be among the most made in america flashlights there are, I dont believe anyone is 100%. However, I understand some on the list above to be quite the contrary, being that they are largely Chinese. |

Quoted: Yeah, I'm not sure that protesting 2008 technology by purchasing 2018 technology is a good comparison. BUT. I'd do it if I hadn't quit buying Surefire a decade ago. |

Quoted: It’s cause olight is made in fucking China and fucking Nancy boys are thinking they’re making a point buying them instead of Surefires. At least they’re made in America and not by the Red Chinese. |

Check Larue. Quoted: 100% Republican and the exclusive fundraiser for Nolo. Already checked twice. From a "putting your money where your mouth is" perspective, Mark LaRue is the gold standard. |

Who cares where they are made as long as it is a good product. I switched from an F150 to aTitan HD since Nissan offers the engine I wanted, and ford played stupid games. Why the hell should I be "loyal" to someone who tells me to me face I cannot trust them? We need the guy in the Red suit meme "Give money to china" "Give money to American Company that will turn the USA socialist " |

Quoted: Donating to both sides to get government contracts makes more business sense than keeping the civilian market happy. Then again, Trijicon, Aimpoint, Nightforce, LaRue Tactical, Geissele Automatics, Streamlight, and many others have managed to be successful without paying tribute to those that deplore freedom. Maybe just making a quality product and standing behind your product works? |

Careful... you don't want to upset people's little boy love affair with their Master who likes gun control. This post is all about tearing down a top player, not holding their elected representatives accountable for their actions that have led us to where we are in 2019 with this political mess. They just want Trump daddy to tread harder so they can tell you why bump stocks are stupid. Carry on! Quoted:

I'm Probably going to get shamed for this but, who cares what surefire does behind closed doors? As long as there products are A++ then I don't have a problem. I wasn't a big fan of Kevin Birmingham when he was with AAC but yet I still bought AAC suppressors. Same goes with surefire. Corruption lurks within everything. Brands, Companies, Organizations, People. We could all Boycott these companies making dirty underhanded decisions, but at the end of the day they're still going to be filthy rich Aholes sipping martinis on there Yachts in the Caribbean. That's just my view on it. |

And yet the majority of their donations are going to Republicans. https://i.ibb.co/4jq4Zw8/IMG-6942.jpg Does that make up for supporting those that would strip you of your rights? What ratio makes it ok? 3 to 1? 10 to 1? |
