Yesterday I was in Wally World and there was a stack of Red Ryder BB guns. I think they were like $29 . Had one as a kid and bought another later in life just because I wanted to. I picked up one on the stack and was interested to see where it was made. It was made in China. No surprise. Is the Daisy plant in Arkansas’s closed up? There was a day when you could send a gun in for repair!

Lots of business owners in the hunting/outdoor community are just human filth for having anything made in Chinkerland.

I think there’s light at the end of the tunnel. Was e-shopping leaf blowers yesterday and one of the candidates was made in Canuckia and the other Meh-hee-co.

Getting closer….

Heard the Chinese were selling some of their U.S. land holdings because they need the money. Their economy is collapsing. No source yet.

Don't know about their plant in Arkansas and if Daisy doesn't work on them, there's a place in Ohio that fixes & rebuilds vintage & newer air guns, and that includes Daisy BB guns according to their web site, www.Bakerairguns.com. He did an old mid 60's Crosman CO2 pellet gun that I sent him a few years ago and they have a lot of vintage restored air guns for sale. So if anyone wants to get that old Red Ryder fixed up........

Trump was on the right path to bring factories back home. Tariffs. Tariffs on not only China, but all goods coming into the US except maybe China and maybe Mexico (too keep illegals there working instead of crossing the border). Then put tariffs on Mexican made goods if they don't stop the drugs and help stop the illegals.
