What company sells ICE the pepper spray canisters?

[Prairie Gates]

They've obviously been told to always have one out and to use it freely. While this tactic was obvious before, they definitely ramped it up in Minneapolis.

Needless to say, the company that sells chemical pain-compliance products to the state is not going to respond much to "boycotts" or other consumer pressure themselves.

But are they owned by a conglomerate? Can we pressure investment funds to divest from these pain-compliance companies? Can we put these motherfuckers on blast?

Who is making and selling these canisters?

Contact your House and Senate reps for budget information about where DHS is sourcing pepper spray!

On Edit: Thank you to SSJVegeta for the Forbes article. Here's the preview:

Safariland, owned by billionaire Warren Kanders, remains the number one supplier of pepper spray and tear gas to ICE and CBP, via a large federal distributor run by a MAGA-aligned former Marine.

Quantico Tactical, a weapons and armor distributor based in Aberdeen, North Carolina, is by far the biggest supplier of chemical weapons to ICE and CBP during Trump’s second term, per contracting records. Founded by North Carolina-based David Hensley, a former Marine Corps major, it has sold $4.7 million of tear gas and pepper spray to the agencies since January 2025, nearly triple its $1.7 million in sales the previous year. It has also provided more traditional munitions to ICE; its biggest contract with the agency was for $10 million in “firearms and magazines” in September last year.

3. A pain point for these companies may be that they ALSO sell all kinds of police equipment to municipalities

Why would the Democrat mayors of Chicago and New York and Seattle and Los Angeles allow their local taxpayer money, for example, to go to Safariland while they are providing pepper spray and flashbangs to ICE / DHS?

Sounds like something we can take up with Aldermen / City Council members at a local level!

4. This was a specific canister model mentioned

...in an article about the Minneapolis invasion/occupation, which I am trying to find again.

The aftercare instructions, and tips on cleaning of clothes and contaminated interiors, are quite comprehensive, further down the page. Worth saving and passing on, especially since teargas has been proven to affect the reproductive biology of its victims.

If you want, the site has a map for dealers near you.

5. Yes, MK-9 was mentioned in the Forbes article as well

The map of dealers looks like a map of Civil War battlefields or 20th century lynching sites ahem ahem.
