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.

All your favorite gun/tactical gear manufacturers would rather sell stuff to the police and military. From their perspective civilians should not have access to firearms. |

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. |
