Comment came up in Optics about my interest in the new Burris FastFire RD dot sight and being hypocritical. Since Burris hasn’t exactly advertised country of origin lately I wrote them and asked simply where is the RD made. Answer, China. In keeping with my Boycott Communist China push that device is now persona non grata. I also let Burris know the feelings of an ex customer. My relationship with them may or may not remain with Philippine products. Have not decided. Their Communist products can rot in place. Below is my comment:
Quote
As a long time Burris user going back to the time when you made products in the USA, my family has had both your rifle scopes and binoculars along on outings. I was disappointed when you chose to move production to the Philippines but remained loyal and highly recommended Burris to many. At least the Philippines have a semblance of democracy in their government and a population that enjoys a level of freedom.
Recently I became interested in the new FastFire RD. It was somewhat difficult to get all the information I wanted but it has finally begun to be better and more fully available. Including county of manufacture. No mincing of words here. I am totally disgusted with your decision to do business with Communist China. A closed nation where the people have no personal freedoms, much less express the God given right of being armed. They work under slave labor conditions and you take advantage of their situation just for a cheaper product. Should they resist domination only the Communists know what happens to them. Communist China intentionally promoted the spread of COVID 19 in a multitude of proven ways. Their goal is world domination and the USA is their only real stumbling block. They succeeded in causing societal unrest, medical crisis (whether real or magnified), economic disaster and a detrimental effect on a free and honest national election. And you made the conscious decision to support them monetarily. How dare you!!
Products manufactured under environmental and labor conditions that would never be tolerated in the United State, you pay the Communists for and sell them in a free nation. You are greedy at the expense of the security of the United States. Every dollar you send to Communist China strengthens them. And when you strengthen the Communist Chinese you weaken freedom. How dare you!! And I now discover this is not the only product with which you make deals with the devil.
STOP! STOP NOW!! Send no more profits to our enemy and bring no more product to the shores of the most free nation on earth. And don’t even dare trying to bring up “world economy” when speaking of one of the most despicable nations on earth. Godless, uncaring for human life or liberties. And you sell their goods to American shooters. Disgusting. Alter your manufacturing while you can. Philippines maybe. But how about the United States of America with our documented citizens building an excellent product here on our so far free land. Give bold support to securing and closing our southern border to again give us a complete nation. Help us remove falsely created low labor rates put in place by those here illegally. Support the United States and its citizen workers, not Communist China or those who invade our borders. There are no excuses for manufacturing in Communist China except exceptional greed and disregard for US security now and in the future. You are guilty of both.
I will not end here. I actively promote, not just support, total boycott of Communist China and corporations that give them financial and industrial support. This includes Burris. You’re not Apple. There are other choices and from this point forward those other choices will be mine. Change starts with the individual, and this individual is hell bent on change away from supporting Communist China. You support Communist China. I will promote boycott, I will recruit support, I will encourage resistance, I will state and use fact, and I will make a difference. Every chance I get to deflect purchases away from Communist Chinese products I will take, whether it be Bushnell, Primary Arms or Burris. I will be as aggressive in exercising my First Amendment rights to speak against enemies of freedom as I am in excercising my Second Amendment rights.
You have options that support freedom. It is past time for you to use them.
