It's funny, I look around my home and not one thing was built in the US except for one oak bedroom set from way back in the day, and my firearms. Made in China used to equal 'cheap shit', but not so much today. I own 3 apple products and several electronics brands that are very high quality that are of Chinese or Japanese origin. I guess it depends on the asian company as far as quality control, and how much they desire to break into the western market. They know cheap shit doesn't cut it here. There are high quality units made specifically for the US & 1st world market, and 3rd world quality units that are produced and sold locally and to everyone else that are much more affordable, but at a loss in quality. Look how much markup there is in Apple and other competing products. It's hard to believe that this administration will block reverse shipment of US built WWII era rifles we gave to South Korea, but not Chicom AR knockoffs, but they aren't trying to sell complete ARs here...yet.

Reason: spelling
For God and the soldier we adore, In time of danger, not before! The danger passed, and all things righted, God is forgotten and the soldier slighted." - Rudyard Kipling
