(the funny part is that i hear crap from ford f150 owners sometimes. um, my toyota was made in california by american workers, your f150 was made in mexico by mexican workers.  )
and i've also heard a few people say they chose an XD over a glock because the springfield armory is an american company--never mind the fact that XDs are made in croatia. |
Lol, you made a good point there.

Ask the Joe general public to name some companies that make guns and I would put money on must response being Colt, smith and wesson, winchester, etc.

Well, a lot of Americans know nothing about guns. Most americans won't even know the names that you mentioned.

True, people don't realize that large companies are multinational corporations that function in a number of countries.

Not really. If you use cars as an example, even "American cars" aren't 100% made in America.
