The good news is that there are fine manufacturers and firms that are 100% on the side of our 2A freedoms as well. Brownell's and Midway are two that come to mind, but there are WAY too many companies that simply see the profits from gun owners and will betray Americans at the first sign of government pressure. It is important to know who really is on board as crew and who is just along for the ride.
When I worked in construction I used to marvel at the guys who had 'tool-religion.' What I mean is guys that liked their [blank] brand cordless drill a lot and so believed that every product that [blank] brand makes had to be the best thing since sliced bread. Many times I've seen embarrassed tool-religionists when [blank] brand's substandard tools fail at critical times or screw up a job because of light duty or inaccurate abilities. I always tried to find out what tool does what the best and what other hard-users think about it. As a result, I have a range of brands in my tools and have never been disappointed.
In a similar way, the gun owning public cannot afford to have silly notions of who their friends are because, in the end, we will live (and possibly die) by the strength of the unified front we are able to muster.
