I don't see the problem the guns needed to be destroyed and benchmade has the equipment to do it.
I worked in a local steel mill and we use to melt up truck loads of firearms no big deal imo

Benchmade donates 100 per cent to anti gun left wing look Dem politicians who are actively involved in banning all firearms

Seems ok to me :dunno:

Many
Police departments don’t bother tracing seized crime guns to
Ensure they are returned to their owners after the judicial process is completed

Wouldn’t you want your stolen firearms returned

This is what getting guys so mad, it's not just the cutting up of guns as much as also the donation to Anti-2A Dems only.

The donations do paint a different picture. But as far as stolen firearms are concerned, do you know they weren't returned to their owners?

The donations appear to be from individuals. As I read it one person could donate funds and it would appear on that report as the company making the donations.

I would be surprised is there weren't some Democrats working at Benchmade, but I wouldn't infer from that the company is of a certain mindset.

Dig a bit deeper and get to the actual facts.  Two donations were made by employees of Benchmade (or their immediate families), not the company.  The larger of the two donations was made to a guy who has a 0% rating from the Brady Campaign.

You know who also gave to a democrat?  The NRA.  They also gave $45k to help defeat republicans.

The fact that an individual that works for Benchmade donated money is now somehow proof that they are anti-gun is crazy.  It is going to be tough to find a company of any size that doesn't have a single employee that supports a democrat.

I personally will be boycotting Benchmade but that's my own views. I don't care what "procedure" is and unless a gun is unsafe/dangerous they should not be destroying them. Why not sell them back to law abiding citizens? Isn't the city and police always complaining they need more money?

And sorry the time has come where we need to call these people out when we find them. Washington and Oregon are under attack from anti gunners. They are loud and well funded. We need to show that if you do stuff like this you'll lose our support (remember Springfield armory? Dicks Sporting goods?).

The gun and especially the hunting community are our own worst enemies at times. The "I support the 2A but" crowed.

As someone that worked at a company that got in hot water with liberals because one of the owners donated to Trump I personally do not care who individuals send their money to. Benchmade clearly cares about hunting and advocates for hunting, that is what I care about most. They have never taken an official stance other than supporting 2A. I'm not going to be selling my benchmade any time soon. In fact I bet you could get a few really good deals on some lightly used ones right now.  :chuckle:

I cant help but laugh at the folks that are up in arms about this, only the hunting community would be so quick to stomp out one of our own.  I dont see how this is at all anti 2nd amendment.

Far worse is the likelihood that at least one of their employees hunts back country.

My Benchmades are all going into the trash tonight.

Anyone know if Benchmade did this free of charge? If so I might go buy me a Benchmade right now.
