You are right. Buying imported guns is matter of preference and variety. Americans love variety. Banning imports may piss off a lot of people who prefer certain foreign-made guns, but it would only serve to bolster domestic manufacturers. Buy American!

Let’s see Glock, Sig, Taurus, Beretta, just to name a few…

Glock is made in Georgia

Beretta - Maryland

Sig - Homogeneous Hampshire

Taurus - you can ban.

You really don’t know anything about this, do you.

@WuWei

Glock is made in Georgia

The only things made in Georgia by Glock are the frame, barrel and slide… the rest are imported…

Beretta - Maryland

Beretta moved from Maryland in 2016 to Tennessee…

Sig - Homogeneous Hampshire

That seems to be working out well…

Taurus - you can ban.

You really don’t know anything about this, do you.

Speaking of not knowing anything about this… How many of these will survive an import ban?

Your rights have been taken from you one by one.

You need to drop this romantic but totally divorced from reality notion that guns protect you from any of that government overreach, or will do in the near future.

It’s a silly argument.

That’s true. But it would sure be a boring revolution without them.

Actually, things are trending my way, not yours.

You don’t know what “my way” is.

The rest of what?

@BlueTex

Beretta moved from Maryland in 2016 to Tennessee…

Conceded. I don’t care for Beretta.

@BlueTex

That seems to be working out well…

so what?

@BlueTex

Speaking of not knowing anything about this… How many of these will survive an import ban?

All of them if they want to. Glock definitely.

Do you carry?

Glock imports everything but the frame, barrel and slide… Do you have any idea how many components are in Glock? You don’t know anything about firearms, do you?

I’m a Glock armorer Genio.

Springs aren’t hard to come by. I can assure if you ban imports Glock will never miss a beat.

Then I do know your way. The answer would have been the same by the way.

Where will all the parts come from? Are you familiar with the categories of classification for imports of firearms?

Very. They will make them.

Very. They will make them.

They must be importing today because, its cheaper or something…

Should you tell him or should I tell him that the frame is the only part of a Glock considered a firearm?

You can’t tell him anything, he knows it all already. I bet he even knows that G42s are already 100% US made and how easy it would be to retool for 9MM.

Hell, now that I think about it, retooling probably isn’t even necessary.

So you like to protest. It is still a protest.

By all of them, do you mean Taurus?

And as we speak, Taurus is building a $22.5 million dollar, 200,000 sqft manufacturing facility in Bainbridge, Georgia.

If they have the tooling for cutting the rifling of the other calibers already than probably no retooling needed.

Depending on your usage of the word retooling, it probably doesn’t require any new tooling setups. They might just have to buy the cutter for the other calibers.
