[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Surefire campaign finance contributions... universal background checks and full capacity mag ban (Page 2 of 10)
|
Wouldn't be shocked if they had to make contributions in order to be considered for gov't contracts with various LE agencies in the state of CA. We should still be holding all of these companies feet to the fire, though. It used to be much harder to uncover this kind of data, thanks internet! Hope you guys keep digging! |

Quoted:
I suspect every company that does business with anything government contracts has invested in anti-gun/anti-freedom over the years just to grease the skids. Payola in another name, just a matter of how butthurt the proletariat gets from those actions. |

Ain't that some shit. "Maybe" it's Surefire lining pockets for tax abatements, favors, and such. Californistan only has 7 Republican Reps, out of 53 districts, and 2 Dem senators. So any pocket lining would more than likely have to go into a Democommie's bank account. No excuse at all to hand $$$ to those cocksuckers, but sometimes you gotta pay to play. I love my Surefire lights, but I'm probably gonna start sending money to Streamlight from now on. |

Didn’t Sandy Hook and moving out of Colorado take place during this time? Quoted:

What happened between 2012 and 2014? Or are you thinking about the Magpul move after Sand hook? |

Quoted:
So, look. I get that we are kind of rabble rousing with this, but they donated money to republican candidates also. Sanchez was the rep from their district in California... it looks like they were just trying to grease the wheels that they actually had to deal with. She was the rep for that district for like 20 years. Quoted:

Proven right again.......I'm glad some of you are finally catching up.
I'll say it again STOP SPENDING ANYTHING ON THE GUN INDUSTRY. "Oh but muh schootn stuff" You aren't going to be shooting jack in the not to distant future if nothing changes our current course. Want to spend money on 'gun stuff'......? Start supporting pro-2A lawsuits! "Oh but we gots ta support gun makers" They have all been profiting off of gun owners for decades, and while there is nothing wrong with profit, its time they start supporting the gun owners. All of them...gun makers, ammo makers, parts makers, anything related to the firearm industry, stop spending and send your money to support lawsuits. Yes they will take a hit, but they have to join the fight. Hell gun owners have to join the fight......most aren't doing jack. |

Wow. It really is amazing how many gun stuff companies are donating to anti gun people. Makes you really wonder, doesn't it? I have one surefire product and I'll keep it, but I'm not going to buy anything else from them. Been spreading the word around about benchmade, will spread the word about surefire. I am my friend's gun/knife nerd and they do listen to me a lot when they ask what they should buy.....and they are educated about the perils of leftist agenda (and pissed about it). Most of the "gun companies" that focus on .Gov sales first, like surfire, are not usually pro gun. |

Is this just a greasing of the local politician, or ideological support? |

Quoted:
I've stated that supposedly supporting the 2nd Amendment but still working hard for those contracts with the very folks that want to take the 2nd Amendment away from us is a bad option. I'm curious where Magpul donates too. They pulled out of Colorado but still work hard to sell to places like the UK, Australia, and various locations in the US that are anti gun. |

Fuck surefire anyways for their black friday bullshit. But good find! Now I'm not selling any of my SFs, but I'll be damned if I'm buying another. Too many competitors selling comparable products these days. |
