Kyrie, I don't think any reasonably tuned-up person disparages reputable guns wherever they're made. We're bundles of emotions, biases, preferences, rightly or wrongly or otherwise.
I'd buy any gun if it met my criteria of plainness, not a lot of gew-gaws, utility as a shooter, cost as no more than my others, because any time money and ego enters it's time to look at me.
Nothing is ever as simple as that, of course. We're also bundles of ambiguities. There are things we don't buy and places unvisited because we disagree with a particular country's politics. And that changes as they change.
