I recently came across a post that Benchmade has made political contributions to an anti-2'nd amendment politician. This seems to be counter intuitive to me. Your thoughts?

There's lots more , search terms : Benchmade Knives political donations . They were involved in cutting up some guns with an Oregon PD ... weasel words followed .
Makes sense in a way. Get rid of guns and there will probably be a bigger market for knives.
No problem here. I've got enough knives to open a cutlery store and none of them are Benchmade. I have nothing against them but they are a little pricey for EDC. A Randall filled my needs for a high ticket knife.
Looks like factory is in Oregon and senators there are dems. I guess it is like Trump supporting Schumer when he was in New York to gain some favor. They are a small company and I can't see where giving to any politician except in area where they are directly located would benefit them.
I'm knifed up too and have had most of them before this company got started. My Buck knives used for hunting are quality knives as they have held up all these years with good usage and ability to easily restore a keen edge.
