The thing that bothers me, is when looking back at my last few gun purchases this year only one of four were made here in the US. (CZ, Bersa, Weatherby, Hi-Point). And in review of my Christmas purchases those that I am looking at are also from overseas.

Either due to regulations (EPA & OSHA) or restrictive gun laws the American makers are being priced right out of the market. Like the clothing industry "Made in America" maybe a thing of the past. Ruger and Savage use to make affordable guns, but I fear that maybe a thing of the past. Short of AR's it would appear that your next purchase could have "Made in China" stamped on it.
