"If I found one for the same price as an 870, I'd buy American."
It always seems to get an "fuss" started when we bring up how much we like our NEF Pardners.
I will state with absolute conviction that if US goods made as of late were so good, we wouldn't be having these debates regarding purchases of overseas made goods.
Unions, (I was a member of the USWA for 31 years) are nothing but a form of socialism that has wrecked the American economy and the quality of goods.
I have been through two strikes and have seen just how "fair" unions are at supporting striking workers.
All one has to do is look to the automakers and the legacy costs built into the vehicles that are being made today coupled with the US Congress throwing money at a problem that could easily be fixed by Chapter 11 bankruptcy.
Why don't they just reorganize under chapter 11?
The UAW!!! That's why!!! Obama is beholden to the thugs that run the unions and will use taxpayers money to bail THEM out!!!
Don't give me a "Buy American" mantra when American goods have sunk to substandard levels.
I have been a "Cold Warrior " for the better part of 32 years , building warships to face threats from our enemies and have done my best to make a quality product to meet the need.
I know what we have out there will meet any threat and will tell you that the Chinese , French, Russians , etc know it as well. We just have to have the will to act.
The folks who built those ships and subs were nowheres near compensated for their efforts as the autoworkers have been or any other of the rust belt unions.
I wanted reliability in my gun purchases and NEF provides just that. The Remingtons as of late are, sadly to say, just crap.
Winchester doesn't make a pump any more as far as I know and Mossbergs rattle so bad, I might as well bring a bucket of bolts to the woods.
The wild game would just love that!
I'm not defending the Chinese nation here,. More so I'm lamenting the will of those of us who have allowed our country to be run by sellout politicians that are hell bent to destroy us from within.
Buy American? I will when we build American as our fathers did and get off our butts to elect government to serve US as a people than subjugate us as tax slaves!!!!!
RANT OVER!
