All of the gun companies* will be donating to the NRA and GOP. Your best bet is to find the one that just lobbies but doesn’t make politics a big part of its brand.
Avoid PSA because they will kill a family just to get a whiff of Trump’s balls. It’s a shame too because they’re one of the few companies trying to make steel ammo in the US. But maybe not because they’re shipping is dogshit.
As mentioned in another comment, maybe get a CZ. You mention Beretta not being a burger company. True. But most foreign companies will open up a US plant and import a portion of their parts. So for all intents and purposes, it’s an American company. But as far as I know, CZ has contracts with its domestic agencies and militaries, maybe other foreign ones, but they don’t have any with the US. Compare that with SW, Glock, Colt, Beretta, etc. which all have contracts (but CZ owns Colt, so…). Also, with the exception of the SW M&P 2.0, I would avoid American guns and go with something European. They just don’t make ‘‘em like they used to. Even Springfield had to import Croatian pistols because their domestic models suck lol.
*Rocket Armory is a liberal AR-15 parts manufacturer. They have good reviews but supplies are very limited compared to other companies.
This is just an overview of the brands and affiliations. Overall, you’re not going to find anything very helpful unless you buy third party. In which case your only defense here is ignorance because who knows, you could be giving hundreds of dollars to a Neo Nazi. The point is you’re in luck because the P-10 is made by a not-so-mainstream-in-the-US company. For now. Rumor is that they’re going to rebrand CZ guns to Colt in the future.
Second for CZ. Czechnological development has built some really solid guns.
