Nikon, a leading optics producer, stops making rifle scopes

8. The OP is merely a proclamation of faith, and an example of confirmation bias

The only evidence of pressure on Nikon I could find was a few online articles from 2013, then nothing.

There may actually be more recent evidence to be had- but if so, it seems our interlocutor couldn't be
arsed to, y'know, produce any to back up his claim.

But hey, it got a few marks to buy in so it's all good.

That's the thing about True Believers- if it sounds true to them, it *must* be true-
even if it is patently ludicrous to the non-brainwashed.

It's common all over the political spectrum-another recent (and hilarious) example:

So you’re claiming that Trump actually has Sylvester Stone’s body from Rocky III?

Did they attach his head at Walter Reed?

The photo of Stallone was flipped horizontally, Stallone's head was cropped off and replaced with Trump's head, then the background was replaced. If you had any experience with photo retouch you would see the edits
