After questioning them on the lack of USA made products in their latest catalog, I received the following (excerpt) :
"With an increasingly limited selection of U.S. manufacturers available over the past ten to twenty years, we have had to place production in offshore facilities in order to meet our customers' needs. In some instances, the U.S. factory closed and we were forced to find alternative sources for the products. In other instances, we felt we could obtain an equal or better quality product and offer it to our consumers for a lower price. Again, we are partial to U.S. manufacturers, but we do have to deal with the realities of available capacity for quality manufacturing in our own country as well as the need to find the best quality factories wherever they may exist in the global economy."
I have made my last purchase from them.

The apes in DC are running a muck in the trees again, all big-eyed and screaming the sky is falling. Now its the politically correct term "GUN CONTROL!!".
Hello? Maybe try enforcing the current laws, ranging from purchase and transfer of firearms, to stopping early releases for criminals.
