100% anti gun democrats?
That’s 100% untrue. The guy they gave the most money to last year had an NRA A rating...

I’ve never bought a benchmade knife and I sure won’t now. Their excuse for doing what they have done is bull. They are trying to cover for themselves to keep from losing money. Any business that gives one cent to an anti gun politician deserves to go out of business. I don’t care who it is. If benchmade don’t like being in a blue state then move. Magpul did. And do have numerous others. But they won’t becuse they are part of the problem.
They gave the most money to Wyden in one cycle (2016), but they've given far more support to Kurt Schrader over the years, and he has an NRA rating of A, which debunks the point that Benchmade has "donated to 100% anti gun democrats".
Benchmade is also a sponsor of USA Shooting, multiple competitive shooters and numerous outdoor groups.
Enjoy your "three minutes of hate", but be honest and truthful about it.

I only went back to 2012 cycle...they've given more to Schrader than Wyden since then. But the point remains, Benchmade is not donating exclusively to anti-gun candidates.
Lets look at some other numbers for honesty and truth's sake. They've spent a whopping $36K in eight years on political donations, for a massive contribution average of $4,500 a year.
The same company spends over $100K per year lobbying for the American manufacturing and distributing industry.
Which do you think had more impact?
Remember when the left wanted to hang Chick-fil-a because the of views of the owner? Let's not be so quick to throw an American company that makes products in America and employs hundreds of American workers under the bus because of one bad PR event and the personal political contributions of the owner.

the other democrat you mention who was in second place for donations in 2018 has gone from an A to B- over the years, maybe if he became more anti gun he would have got more cash from benchmade?
Kurt Schrader, (D-OR)

The spokesman expressed his support for 2A rights, but did not offer a clear explanation of why the donations were made to the opposition. He stated that Oregon politicians that support manufacturing were and are Democrats, but this does not explain the out of state donations to radical left wing politicians.
anything in the last 2 sentences make sense to you?
