Liberty Safe Scandal: Parent Company Exposed as Major Donor to Gun-Control Democrats - Report
Western Journal ^ | September 10, 2023 | Carson Choate

Liberty Safe, which describes itself as “America’s #1 heavy-duty home and gun safe manufacturer,” has come under fire after a report revealed that its parent company has donated almost half a million dollars to pro-gun control Democratic officials.

On Wednesday, Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk shared FEC filings on the social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, that show Liberty Safe’s parent company, Monomoy Capital Partners, has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Democrats.

“I pulled the FEC reports on the company and found approximately $400,000 over the last 10 cycles of max donations to Democrats,” Kirk wrote.

...

“Liberty Safe’s current CEO, Justin Hillenbrand, was a founding partner of Monomoy and donated $4,600 to Obama for America,” Kirk added.

In a news release Monomoy Capital issued announcing its acquisition of Liberty Safe in 2021, it called the move “another great example of Monomoy partnering with a branded, market leading, consumer products manufacturer that has garnered an enthusiast customer base throughout the company’s history.”

...

Among the many donations listed, the most notable were to Democratic Sens. Raphael Warnock of Georgia, John Fetterman of Pennsylvania and Mark Kelly of Arizona, and former Lt. Gov. Mandela Barnes of Wisconsin – all of whom have expressed support for gun control.

...

Liberty Safe is already facing fierce backlash for giving the FBI the passcode to a customer’s safe.

...

Liberty Safe voluntarily gave the FBI the passcode to get into the safe, despite the fact that there was no court order requiring the company to do so

The problem is that they have a secret back door code. I had a Liberty Safe, made for Cabela’s. If I still had it, a fine safe, I would immediately if not sooner have a reputable locksmith replace the electronics. That’s the only way to fix the issue.

“ You can. At additional cost to the owner. Why should they have to do that?”

So that the Fed doesn’t show up with a code to open your safe after you gave your money to a disreputable company.

Well, they didn’t bring the code. They got it after calling the company while they were in the house.

I saw the video of this guy being arrested, I think. He was in a strip mall or something like that. I’m very curious to know what the FBI was after with regards to their search warrant.

"Is there a way to reprogram or replace the locks? Perhaps remove serial number?"
Maybe they have a secret code that opens all of them.
