The nation’s gun regulatory agency took the rare step of revoking the license of an American gun manufacturer, a win for a gun control group that has dogged the company tied to illegal trafficking of cheap guns [More]
This looks to be not so much a "win for gun control groups" as the reality that fighting the allegations is not economically feasible.
That said, if the midterms go as advertised, Republicans need to investigate this "public/private (fascist) partnership" and hold ATF functionaries moving the rules goalposts at the behest of ostensible adversaries who also happen to be ideological allies accountable.
Something seems criminal about this.

After college the only pistol I could afford was a Bryco .380. Part of the offering from this group of companies. It served me well. 10 years later I gave it to my neighbors son who had just gone through a home invasion , where he was held at gunpoint for over an hour while his house was ransacked. There is a certain need for affordable firearms in this country. With the feds supplying arms to every cartel and evil entity you can think of, the only reason for these actions is to ensure that the weakest among us cannot resist.
ReplyDeleteI paid $60 for my Bryco. It may not have been a 20 kiloton nuclear bomb- but it gave me a sense of safety when I lived in downtown Detroit. God bless those who made it happen, as a $150 Smith was out of my price range when I lived there. May there always be those who would help the least of us defend themselves.

"Kansas City filed a lawsuit against Jimenez Arms in 2020 alleging the pistol manufacturer created a public nuisance by fueling illegal gun trafficking in the city with its low quality zinc alloy pistols that can retail for $150."
ReplyDeleteYesterday, I watched a YouTube review of the Rock Island Armory Model 206 six shot snub nose revolver with a gray Parkerized finish that is manufactured in the Philippines. It has a MSRP of $259, so it may retail for something less.
1. Will Kansas City now file a similar public nuisance lawsuit against RIA because of the low retail cost to the consumer for this revolver?
2. Is there a threshold price where a firearm sold through a FFL in compliance with federal and state law will not result in such lawsuits?
