So what’s up with certain gun industry peeps supporting the war?

[SilentStalkr]

So, it seems that there are certain companies within the industry that are more than willing to support the Ukrainian people! I’m all for supporting the innocents caught up in some bullshit but people need to be aware of who they are supporting as the purported enemy may not be as much of an enemy as one thinks. What say you guys?

 

[Maxduty]

Shouldn't mix politics with business. Sure fire way to piss off at least part of your clients.

It's the party line. Virtue signaling at it's finest to the big money.

It can be easy to fall for propaganda, especially when you think you are supporting "freedom".

"the enemy of my enemy is my friend"

Or at least, it WAS, at one time....

Follow the money.... It's just business.
Not only the gun business... The oil business is booming.

So what is your specific definition of "supporting the war"?

What does that exactly mean to you?

Are these companies sending guns and ammo or are they just raising money for displaced people? Or are they saying that Putin has zero business attacking the Ukraine?

So please define exactly what you mean by the statement "supporting the war"?

 

[LawnMM]

You realize they sell guns, right?

 

[HeavyAssault]

but people need to be aware of who they are supporting as the purported enemy may not be as much of an enemy as one thinks.

Well...if you see something say something. Isn't that still a thing??
Cause we all know this shit show has a potential outcome......that outcome good or bad is a matter of perspective.

They support whatever is “trending”

Ukraine war, push to drink more milk, whatever. Just marketing a product, I mean do you honestly believe Gillette is the “best a man can get”?

Normally a defaced American flag

I was going to fill up Friday, @ $3.39 but was tired so waited until Sat. morning. Surprise, $3.79. By Sunday morning at the same place it was $3.99. $00.65 in less than 48 hours.

This WILL have consequences.

During the American Civil War the British were exporting Enfield rifles to both sides. I just don't know if the Confederacy paid for the weapons with gold coin or paper (confederate) money.

I'm for whichever military of the two is most anti-globalist and anti-woke.
And I'm with ALL the civilians who are awake and based and aren't 'woke'.

I also feel sorry for the poor guy who only wanted to live in peace with his family but got drafted into service for a war that he didn't start and probably never learned the real reason why it started in the first place. It doesn't matter which side he's on but that he never wanted war and to be there in the first place.

That cycle has been going on since the beginning of tribal warfare... For 3,000 years+

"Opinions are like assholes..." Remember that bit? If you don't like someone's opinion you're free to disagree. The cancel culture stupidity we see on the right and the left with "reeeeeee boycot X because they don't espouse my exact politics" is retarded in the extreme and reeks of leftist thinking. I care about the products a company makes and how well they work to suit my needs. I do not give a shit about their stated political position when I make my purchase.

MOST folks are just like you and I. They just want to do their work and enjoy friends and family, and be left alone.

Then there are politicians and the just plain out greedy and evil.

A lot fucking longer than that. Chimps engage in tribal warfare so the behavior must have existed for something on the order of millions of years.

I think people who have underdeveloped ethics that allow them to buy finished CCP products like Holoson and Olite are effing tools who don't give a shit about anything or anyone but themselves. They're the furthest thing from patriots- they're the outliers- the Karens. People like that need to get off their moral lowhorse and WTF up.

Easier to just say you like BRCC.

There are people in the American shooting community who won't lift a finger or make a small sacrifice to defend the very values that represent the 2A. But they'll be the loudest Karens when it all falls apart, and they'll act like they were actively vigilant against the causes of that like the CCP, the Left, 'Wokeism', Progressivism...

Yup. I see 'Made in China' on a label it goes back on the shelf.

 

[TurboTrout]

BRCC, no one actually likes, or ever liked, that crap, it never was good coffee, the only reason they had any success is their marketing as a “lifestyle” brand for all the badge bunnies, statists, and tacticalcool types.

Your local hippie cafe has always had better beans, shit this stuff is waaay better than BRCC, tastes better out of my expresso machine, and costs less

Nah, with all the options I have, especially in coffee, why would I give my hard earned money to someone who hates me, when there are tons of other options?

Shit lots of the hippie coffee houses are far more live and let live, I don’t care that they smoke weed, they don’t care that I shoot, but they like my money, I like their beans, and I’ll get a latte with my bag of expresso ground beans and shoot the shit about local hiking or the last music fest.


So yeah, a brand has a shitty product and hate me, I don’t really feel like handing over my hard earned money to them

As I posted in another thread, there are no ‘good guys’ in this conflict, but as someone stated above, the enemy of my enemy is my friend.

At least for now.

And bottom line for me is that I hate commies and autocrats more than I hate corrupt ‘democracies’, even with some Nazis thrown into the mix. We’ll get to them soon enough.

And besides, Ukrainian chicks are hotter than Russian chicks!

Maybe… prove me wrong!

But who’s done more underhanded stuff recently in America? Seems the small nation of Ukraine comes up quite a bit when talking about the statists.

Frankly I’d be happy leveling and paving over both of them, make it into overflow parking lol

I also have a hard time giving a shit about that when China is running amok, have we/nato even contained their bio lab threat yet?

Being scared about Russia and Ukraine when china is out there, that’s like having cancer on your leg but just being conceded about a ingrown toe nail.

I use to date a lot of women of a certain ethnic/nationality. I don't want to say as I don't want to disparage members of that ethnic/nationality.

Anyway, the ones that I dated were pegged at 10 on the hotness meter until they turned 25. When that happened their butts got as big as an M-1 Abrams.

Ah those were the days and I'm not in my twenties anymore. I have my guns to keep me warm now

If you read her bio, she started off in the TV / News industry.... Listen to her. Depending where you stand, could be your biggest asset or your worst nightmare.

They could have a face like a cow patty but if they are good at shooting from an overwatch position and saved my life, I'd still give them a kiss.

Saved your ass from having your poor shitty crooked shit hole country repossessed by a …slightly less poor shitty crooked shit hole country?

 

[SilentStalkr]

So this specific company I’m thinking of is sending armor. Another one Ammo of course. And no it has nothing to do with BRCC.

I've never been in that sort of a situation but even if she had whiskers and saved my ass, well....

okay,,, I'll skip the kiss but give her a hug.

 

[TurboTrout]

As long as they do it with their own money

Frankly rooting for one dumpster fire country, over the other dumpster fire, for a war we basically egged on and got started for I’ll gotten political gains, I won’t support a business, or not support a business for supporting Ukraine, though I will question their mental firepower getting that wrapped up the blatant propaganda

Don’t play a leftist argument arguments, it’s just sad.

How the hell do you think most of main-street supports a country, or state, or business? With their damn wallets.

And frankly they are both shit hole places, their biggest export is scams, minus some oil and booze from Russia, if both poofed and vanished overnight I wouldn’t care. It’s like asking me who I support in a bum flight, I don’t support ether of them, but I wouldn’t lose any sleep if someone curb stomped the for profit person who set the fight up.

The biggest enemy here has been shown to be the statists, biden and co and the defense industry who stoked the flames of this BS, and are now using it to justify looting private citizens who in some 6 degrees from Putin have been found guilty with no trial, plus all that sweet defense money they are probably skimming.
