I wish Trump would start his next rally by smashing a Made in China Daisy Red Ryder™ BB gun with a Made in the USA hammer (if he can find one).

First show the carton and how it is unmarked as to country of manufacture. Then open it and find the obscure Made in China label. After that just smash it to bits right on stage.

I bought my 7.5 y/o son a Daisy Red Ryder, like I had 35 years or so ago. He found it under the Tree this AM. He loves it, shoots it well (with shooting goggles of course). Then, while I was looking at this classic American X-Mass gift, there it was stamped in the metal.... "MADE IN CHINA". WFT?????? An all American (or so I thought), airgun company is importing Red Ryder BB guns from China? Is it just me, or does this just stink? Granted, I got it on sale for $29.95 at Dicks Sporting Goods on Black Friday, but even if they cost $100.00, if they were still made in the USA, I would feel better about it. The metal looks good, it shoots as fast and accurate as I remember, but the wood looks sub par, not as nice as my old one. But for me, the "MADE IN CHINA" stamp just kills it.

Perhaps he can burn a made in China Trump Suit and Tie, more fitting don’t you think?

More rally suggestions...

Suggestion #1: get whatever security you need and DON’T CANCEL - it just encourages these thugs.

Suggestion #2: See Suggestion #1.

Easy to find Made in USA hammers. Craftsman and Husky, although I would double check the Craftsman, they have been making some of their handtools in foreign countries, which I’m extremely disappointed in.

I think the deal with the Red Rider is that the parts are made in China but it is still assembled here. The Daisy factory is just down the road from me, and is still open. They have a sweet little Daisy Airgun Museum downtown. It is a gray area I know, but I do commend them for minimizing the Chinese end of it the best they can, in order to remain in business and maintain US operations. I won’t slag them for doing something they were no doubt driven to do.

Trump should start his rallies at 7am.

No one on the left gets up that early.

Nah. The media would just turn it around and say he’s against guns and completely miss the point.
