Shunned by corporations, U.S. gun entrepreneurs launch start-ups
DALLAS (Reuters) - Larry Lopata and some friends were sitting around the campfire on a hunting trip when they came up with an idea for a new firearms product: an adjustable-length trigger, so people with different sized hands can comfortably share the same gun.
The four business partners put $150,000 into development until last December when they were ready to seek more funds from investors. Crowdfunding sites such as Kickstarter and Indiegogo would have been perfect, but they prohibit users from raising money for weapons projects.

So Lopata created his own, gun-friendly crowdfunding site, GunDynamics.com, which launched last month.

While much of corporate America has turned its back on firearms-related business following mass shootings such as the Feb. 14 massacre at a high school in Parkland, Florida, that killed 17 people, pro-gun entrepreneurs are creating their own start-ups to fill the void.

Conservatives have day jobs and savings, libtards got big mouths. In a battle of the wits the idiots are easily outflanked. For every idiotic nincompoop gun law, look how fast industry has been able to invent and respond.

It's not a weapons project. It's a 2nd Amendment Constitutional rights project.

It's a gun not a weapon. A hammer is a tool until some sicko decides to use it to bash someone's skull in with it. Only then does a hammer become a weapon.
