    This devotion to Americana papers over the foreign status of all three gun companies: Glock is based in Austria, Taurus in Brazil and Beretta in Italy. When it comes to feeding the voracious American appetite for firearms, overseas gun makers have not only borrowed U.S. icons—they’ve taken substantial market share once held almost exclusively by American manufacturers like Colt and American Outdoor Brands Corp., formerly Smith & Wesson.

    Sig Sauer closing down in their home country in Germany. They going strong on production in USA.

    BTW I'm neither pro-gun nor anti-gun. Just trace who makes money out of this biz.

    What difference does it make?

    You can have US corporation making lot of parts in China, assembly in Mexico and with all management living in some rich EU country. It is better?
