Really? Makes no difference? Thanks for screwing over the USA.
Get your head out of where ever you keep it and get out into the world a little. Here's what you will find:
China - nothing but Chinese products, made by Chinese, the only things they buy overseas are the things they can't produce, and buy them to copy them.
Germany - go to a plant in Germany, and every car in the parking lot will be German. They buy German manufactured items even when they are more expensive, as they are convinced the quality is better, and it's their patriotic duty to buy at home. This in a country with a socialist health plan that works, 50% income taxes and a standard of living better than ours. And a 4 week vacation.
America - so confused about what to buy by unrelenting ad bombardment from large multinationals that the population thinks that even without jobs they'll still be able to buy cheap Chinese crap from Walmart, so there's no problem. Still thinks it leads the world in standard of living, poor dopes. Still believes their own workforce is stupid and lazy and not deserving of their money, because some jerk paid for by foreign or multinational money on TV told them that was the case.
So yea, I buy American every chance I get, and rarely regret it. When I get something I think I shouldn't from an American company, I complain long and loud until I get satisfaction and help them make themselves better. That happens about 3 times a year. On the other hand, Chinese electronics seem to fail about 10-20% of the time, 50% for things like cordless phones. But for some strange reason, the US population thinks that's OK.
Used guns, I don't care, so the German, Czech and Romanian guns I own are used. The new guns are all US made. I haven't bought Kel-tec or HiPoint but I don't think they're junk, I think they are products engineered to squeeze the cost out and keep the functionality, and they both are admirable for that reason. They both damn well work, and they both are reliable, or the company will fix it, forever. Try to get that deal on a Chinese phone.
There are US companies that made dumb decisions and paid for it (Colt), and are now in a hole. There are US companies that innovate and follow their market (Ruger & Kel-tec). There are US companies that are finally pulling their head out of wherever they kept it and beginning to learn (S&W).
