I agree with all the comments! I find the para-military influence unbelievable, totally support 2nd amendment but don't see the need to arm myself with military style.

As far as the change in Bownells, I remember what a boss said to me when I entered retail over 40 years ago.
"Kid, while the merchandise can be great, the presentation spot on, working environment is nice, the customer service is good just DON'T FORGET IT'S ONLY ABOUT THE MONEY"

Best to you each Morning
