I've only been around "gun culture" for 5-6 years or so, but not a single person I know in the fairly conservative area of my fairly conservative state thinks talking shit about a gun company means you're anti-gun - especially Sig which everyone hates now.

Nobody takes the NRA seriously or cares anything about what they do, either, so maybe I just happen to be in a sane pocket of the culture but other than the obvious paid shills like GBRS who are terrible human beings anyway, even on YouTube and other sources everyone has been talking shit on Sig for a year or longer.

Same in my circle too. NRA is perceived as an embezzling joke that spends more on yachts than preserving the right to keep and bear arms, and Sig is an untrustworthy joke that is allergic to taking accountability.

Sure! Now you feel that way about the NRA.

I’m talking about early 1990s until their recent fall from grace.
