    I was under the impression that leapers gear was USA made. I was very wrong.

    Does the gun export ban only work one way? Because it seems like the majority of gun accessories sold online are from taiwan or china.

    While buying things online places like optics planet doesn’t clearly state where something is made in the product description.

    I want to avoid supporting all the things china. Considering how terrible everything about them is.

    Any advice for the future?

    Thanks!

    Shop at other websites. And ask all the ones you browse to offer an option to sort or search by country of origin. Some of the knife websites have already figured that out.

    We need to remind other companies they should do the same thing.

    It depends on what you're looking for. And many times you have to google for US made whatever you're looking for.

    For knives. Knifecenter and bladehq both offer country of origin sorting. DSG arms has that option on some of their categories, but not all. I'm still looking for more options myself, so I don't have a complete list.

    I'm sure the folks in weapons development were climbing the walls the other night. Trump never said what weapons we have but he did say "You won't believe the weapons we have. Russia, China, Iran - they don't want to mess with us!"

    No general tso chicken either?
    I've noticed it too many times and figure it's high time to say something about it - That's a mighty fine avatar you have! The only problem is every time I see one of your posts your avatar distracts me and I forget why I was reading the thread to start with :facepalm:

    But you are easily distracted! :banana:
