If we all stopped buying new foreign made firearms...

Foreign manufacturers would stop shipping their wares to our shores

American stores would stop stocking new foreign made guns

We would all do just fine

If a new American-made gun is cost prohibitive, any used gun, American or otherwise, is better for our domestic firearms industry

n, the price of old beat up s&ws that i buy would go up.....

What's the matter with foreign made guns?

I can't read the doggone writing on the reciever.....

The GCA of 1968 did away with a lot of them then. Keep in mind the foreign brands of Glock, Sig Sauer, FN, Beretta, CZ and Walther have big investments that created a lot of jobs in the USA.

I don't stimulate the new gun economy ..... foreign or domestic. Bet it's been a decade or more since I just had to have any brand new gun.

Nothing is wrong foreign guns
Many are fine weapons and reasonably priced


I want foreign manufactures to stop sending us their products.

What's wrong buying with foreign made firearms? I couldn't tell you. I've never bought one.

Not that I wouldn't.

 

[JayC_783]

I have nothing against foreign made guns. I sure like my XD!

 

[rwsmith]

Foreign Guns are great.....

If I can't find what I want that is American made, then I'll buy a foreign gun. Sig and Beretta both have plants here. That's fine with me.

Why not a gun? People buy vehicles, tractors, clothes, food, etc. that is imported. Larry

HK and Glock too........

If I couldn't buy foreign made guns, I'd have a heckuva lot of Cooeys (and maybe an Inglis HP).

Most of my firearms are domestic (N. American) but I have no problem with importing from elsewhere.

Healthy competition should mean standards are either being maintained or being pushed.

But I'm a Canadian, so I don't really have a dog in this fight.

You do realize the world you pine for has never really existed, or actually was just an bubble in the immediate postwar era. The late 40's and early 50's of American dominance was due to, oh what was it called, oh yeah, World War 2 where most of the rest of the industrialized world was destroyed, or in the case of the British empire, completely broke and barely able to feed themselves. US industries came out of the war undamaged with an American populace that had been restricted on consumer for 4 years, plus lots of disposable income.
Take a look at Japan. The first industry they dominated post war was the cheap tin toy market. Next was the inexpensive electronics market.
The truth is, we have been involved in foreign trade since before the country was founded.

Well, there goes every electronic device, appliance, automobile, piece of furniture, article of clothing, my vinyl siding, some of my meds, half my ammo, a sixth of my firearms, my toothbrush, my cookware, my cutlery, half my tools, my pine scented car freshener, my tea and coffee, my furnace and coffee filters (interchangeable), my Swedish fish, my Guinness, my Jameson's , etc, etc.

In before the lock.

 

[carpriver]

We still have bourbon, Colt, S&W, Ford, Chevy, John Deere and local brewed beers.

What about my Springfield made in Croatia?

Balanced trade is good......

Balanced trade is good for everybody. If other countries want to buy our goods, we have to buy some of theirs so that they will be able to afford it.
