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.

Seems like it.

Also wouldn't shock me if you are required to donate to local politicians to be a candidate for local LE contracts... That kind of BS goes back a long ways.

The new TLR-7 and TLR-8 look like a big improvement over their TLR1 through TLR4 series.  I have used Streamlights in the past and they’ve always worked for my needs. I’ve just never been really crazy about their rocker switch.

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).

Profit is more important than principle or rather principles don’t pay the lights. Imagine if every weapon manufacturer who makes automatic weapons for law-enforcement and military agencies suddenly decided to take a stand and stop doing that. For many companies, those types of contracts are what keep them alive. Once you’re in bed with the devil, you’re fucked.

If you all start following the money, you may have to boycott a lot of businesses. This donation is relatively small to a local politician for business purposes. This is how the political process works. A lot of people don't like money in politics but that's how the world works.

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.
