I don't want to start a flame war or insult anyone, but something has been bothering me for quite a while. I know we all (I hope) here are patriots in the strictest sense of the word and probably all think the US is the best country on earth. With that being said, does anyone else think it is a problem to buy guns (as well as other stuff) from arguably the biggest threat to the US both militarily and economically . . . CHINA. I sometimes you don't have a choice because it is hard/impossible to get some things that are not made in China. Electronics is a huge one, but guns isn't. I know that price is usually a BIG determining factor, but I hate giving ANY money to our enemies. Which is why I don’t buy European guns either!!
I know it is hard to find stuff made in the good ol' USA anymore, but it can be done if you look hard enough and are willing to pay a little more to keep the US economy going and fellow Americans employed. The quality is usually better too. Don't get me wrong, capitalism is great and I shop for the cheapest deal I can get, as long as quality and my conscience does not suffer. Anyway, that is my rant. I'd like to hear some responses to and rebuttals of my argument.
Thanks and I hope I didn't PO anyone.
