"You can't compare a $450 gun made by Turkish peasants to a gun made by people here earning a living wage, paying a mortgage."
You have to pick a better comparison than that. People all over have to earn a living and pay a mortgage.
People shop at Walmart for one reason and one reason only, to save a buck. You will see BMWs parked next to cadilacs.
All the American companies that left here, why do you think they moved, cheaper labor so more money in the CEO's pockets. Don't beleive that some of these foreign gun companies with funny names aren't run by Americans now living there.
If you want to blame it on someone, blame it on us. Kids that do graduate school and don't go to college and if they do want to work, and I do mean want to, want to make $15-20 an hour and not have any ethics in doing a good job and showing up.
So please don't blame anyone for buying a $450 gun compared to $7,000 dollar one. The small fixes still won't cost $6500 to fix.
Sorry about the rant, but we are to blame.
