I don't think a lot of these companies actually care. For example Danner is owned by LaCrosse who itself is owned by an Japanese company. This is just one example. Most these companies are most likely owned by some larger equity or holding companies. So is Leupold really Leupold? I doubt it. Same with Gerber/Fiskars and many of the others.

The real problem isnt defending from legislation. Fighting and filing lawsuits probably won't accomplish a lot. The real fight is for the youth. They've captured the youth and the education system. No amount of court battles, reversals or judgments will prevail as long as the educational system has been hijacked.
