Benchmade politics??

[Txsurveyor2014]

Seems that Benchmade knives has stepped into a mess by agreeing to destroy firearms for the local police department. Everything on social media seems to be condemning them. Personally, I see both sides of the coin on this particular matter, but people have started digging and found some interesting political donation information (see links).

Has anyone seen anything refuting what is going around social media, other than Benchmade's public statement?

Smells like a Yeti deal to me. I won’t be shooting any of my Benchmade knives, I can tel you that.

Boycott!

The destroying guns was iffy but can see both sides I guess.

The 90%+ to donations to Dem’s is pretty ****ty and caught me by surprised. Especially when 80-90% of your customer base are hunters or shooters.

They scrambled yesterday and did a damage control post at 10pm lol

That is kind of my thinking also. The guns were going to be destroyed, whether benchmade did it or not, but donating to anti-2A Dems doesnt make much sense.

Boycott!

That is what everyone is screaming on facespace...

Do your part by sending all Benchmade 940’s to me.

That's it. I'm gonna go throw all BM knives into the lake.

[mpotts]

For guys to be up in arms about them trying to help a local PD is crazy to me. Have read a bunch, where guys were saying "why couldnt they just give them to kids, instead of destroying them"? Well cause it does not work like that. I auction stuff all the time and guns are the one thing I am not allowed to auction. Certain department's have their policies to follow.

The democratic part is the worse part. As I see no problem with the destroying of those guns. Someone was going to do it.

I agree...They should get a pass on the gun cutting, but the donation part...Wow.
They stabbed themselves in the foot with this one.
Makes ya want to dig more about who else you spend money with and how you could be cutting your own throat by buying certain products.
