Grunt Style’s newest Gadsden flag-themed T-shirt pays tributes to Ukraine’s stalwart national pride in the face of an invading Russian army and will raise money for Save Our Allies, a veteran-founded nonprofit.
https://www.afinalwarning.com/505126.html (Natural News) Left-wing national newspaper USA Today has published a highly biased piece critical of companies that sell tactical gear to civilians in a thinly-veiled push to shame them into closing off that segment of their business.
The tone of the piece is essentially this: ‘Right-wing groups are the only ones who buy that stuff, and because they’re racists, bigots, homophobes and insurrectionists, so, too, are the companies that sell to them.’
According to a rolling USA TODAY analysis of the court documents for people charged in the Capitol riot, at least 20 were spotted in photos and videos wearing tactical gear. One popular item was a cloth plate carrier, which is designed to hold bulletproof plates and often includes pouches for ammunition magazines and Velcro for patches.
Images of citizens dressed like soldiers – wearing bulletproof vests, ballistic helmets and combat boots – have been thrust into the spotlight following the U.S. Capitol riot Jan. 6 and civil unrest in the streets of America last summer.
Now companies that manufacture and sell military-grade gear face an ethics quandary: Business may be booming, but at what cost? Some say it’s out of their hands. Others are trying to distance themselves from the extremists.
“Many of these people aren’t serious about buying duty gear, they’re doing it for show and don’t represent the body armor community in any way,” said Nick Groat, CEO of Safe Life Defense, whose company has been accused of serving up ads to extremists on Facebook.
