Liberals are business people too. Personally I don't care who makes a working gun. If it works like I want it to I'll buy it. I lived in Idaho when the Japanese were buying all the ranches up. Locals were screaming, but selling while doing it. My comment was simply "they can't take it back to Japan, so who cares". 10 years later they sold it all and took a bath on value. S&W was once owned by a Japanese consortium wasn't it? Where are they now?
