Maybe Springfield will buy them...

So has anyone confirmed the reasons why Benchmade contributed to these Democrats or are we all just jumping to conclusions like the leftists did with the maga hat kid and the indian?

Well, I could be wrong, but most instances that I've seen seems to show companies tend to donate to each of the parties. Perhaps one party gets more than the other, but the companies seem to be trying to "cover their bases." Apparently with Benchmade, they don't care about that, just donating to the leftists.

I'm just trying to say maybe we should use the maga kid and the Indian as an example to learn from about flying off the hinges before all the facts are laid out.
I mean, don't we gun owners always make the argument the the leftists never get their facts straight first? Let's not be like them.

Sure, don't be emotional. We get that.
But a number of people have researched into the company, and based on it's past political contributions: it's not purple - It's all blue.
What's the saying, ...don't pay attention to what they 'say', but rather - pay attention to what they 'do'.

Their donations for the last few years have been for Democrat candidates. I sent an email a few days ago asking for their corporate policy on individual rights to own firearms and their policy regarding the 2nd Amendment. I've received no response. I'm not buying another Benchmade and wish I had never bought the ones I have.

Here's the founder's "explanation". Cliff notes to it is that this is a horribly edited, eye twitching, finger flicking, virtue signaling load of crap. A real dumpster fire of a response. Quite honestly the solid BLUE donation history is all I need to know.

Now this...This right here is an explanation. Showed the numbers. Stated straight up that they were chasing congressional funding, didn't get it, walked away. Benchmade didn't do this.

That video was painful to watch. He looks as nervous as a whore in church.

That video tells me that Benchmade profits have taken a big dive and he is in damage control mode. I’d bet they never let another camera inside their facility again. Future policy will probably require anyone who does enter will be searched and signs non disclosure and confidentially agreements.
