200 Businesses supporting gun control

If there are two products to choose from and one is produced by a company that is against what I do for a living, recreation, or to survive, I buy the other.
I used to like Burger King, now I will just go somewhere else, easy choice. When I can, I support businesses that I know are freedom minded, and I avoid some because they are over the top, but it is unrealistic to think you can live a normal life without patronizing some business that you disagree with.


What is worse, spending more money on food at a grocery store, or going to Walmart and saving some money that you can then use to support pro 2nd amendment groups?
There are not enough of us to make any difference, even if EVERY gun owner stopped supporting anti-gun businesses, it wouldn't matter, and there are plenty of gun owners who spend lots of their money at places that are openly anti-gun. Hell, there are gun owners on this and other forums that voted for Biden!
 
Berger King as well as McDonalds are a franchise, not Company owned. So the owners of the franchise may have different ideas as far as gun control then the Companies. Same with Pizza Parlors, Sandwich shops,etc.

So his brand costs $2.00 to make overseas and the same thing made "here" costs $20.00 to make? And over seas is probably made better. He's in it for the $$$.
If it was you, you would be doing exactly the same thing. Buy American, if you can find it??
As far as car parts? Try to find parts made in the U.S. of A. I've seen and installed parts from Viet Nam, Mexico, Israel, The Philippines and a bunch from South America.
Front brake rotors that cost "the shop" $8.00 (from China) so figure how many times it's been touched and the price bumped up. Loaded on the boat in China, shipped to the U.S. distributor, (price bumped), sent to the parts house, (price bumped) sold over the counter to the repair shop (price bumped) Must have cost them maybe $1.00 or less to make in China. And the quality was good too.
If you can find a business that thinks how you think and has the same values, give them your ($$$) business. But you better check your bank first. :eek: EVERYBODY is in it to make $$$! And you arn't??:confused:
