Why is Glock offering Bloomberg’s dogs a discount? Are bodyguards not provided with weapons by their employers or do they bring their own guns to work?
Glock is a fine company and they’re free to market their products to anyone they wish, but if you ask me, a bodyguard that protects gun-hating billionaires is working against the 2nd Amendment. I realize everyone has to make a living, I just wish Glock didn’t give them breaks they don’t deserve.
Follow the money.
I agree, Glock makes millions selling their guns to cops, the military, security guards, but they should remember what happened to Smith & Wesson when they were British owned and decided to support Bill Clinton and his smart gun planned. The consequences were quite terrible, and their British owners eventually sold the company to Americans. So I hope Glock is paying their dues to the NRA and defending the 2nd Amendment, because there are far more civilians buying guns than military, cops, or security guards.
And selling to us is easier. Ask anyone who’s ever done business with the government, or sold anything to the military. I once saw a documentary about a rocket designer who had to leave the States and do business with Saddam Hussein after the military rejected his designs. It was a bad decision, Saddam eventually killed him.
The movie is called Doomsday Gun.
