--- Quote from: Mali on February 21, 2019, 12:08:01 PM ---My guess is that it is easier to have BenchMade do it because they have all the equipment already and the skills to do it without cutting off their own appendages. Not that it is hard to do.

As far as the donation records, there is no info there regarding the source or any filters so we are led to assume that this is the sum of the records of their donations. I don't feel like the donation information provided enough context to the information to make it viable.

--- End quote ---
You can look up the candidates they donated to, they are mostly anti-gun.

Kurt Schrader: doesn’t seem so bad https://votesmart.org/candidate/key-votes/10813/kurt-schrader/37/guns#.XG8lh6RMGaM but I swear I found information last night he voted for a few gun control bills.


Martin Heinrich: voted for things like magazine bans, bumpstock bans, http://www.ontheissues.org/domestic/Martin_Heinrich_Gun_Control.htm

And the owner of Benchmade Les de Asis, has personally donated to Darlene Hooley, who is very anti gun.

Les:
Point is, benchmade might have been better served politely declining, instead of allowing this ****show to go on, and remind me again what a chopsaw costs?  No matter how you look at it...........bad optics for a business that sells high end knives to sportsman/gun owners.  Biting the hand that feeds.   

ILoveCats:
The political donations are disturbing.  I have a Benchmade folder and it’s extremely well made, but if I’m ever in the mood for a high-end knife again I’ll get a German made Böker.
