Lighten up, Alice. Yer all verklempt.
The rest of the story - Granted, it is corporate media - but then, who to believe, the manufacturer of 5 million of these guns (and the millions of sportsmen who swear by it), or wacko-liberal tv editorials?

Not ONCE has the problem been repeated - not a SINGLE TIME, on a rifle that was properly cleaned, and whose config was proper.
OK, Remington says their rifles are good. Boy I'm glad we got that cleared up. They even show a rifle going off with no finger on the trigger, ahh, but that's somebody screwing with something. And the thousands of letters they get are just people wanting money, and most of the lawsuits are settled in their favor. At least we got the objective no spin opinion from Remington. It is kinda bad that the counter point was CNBC so that's one in your favor, but CNBC isn't the only complainant here.Look I can't spend two days on one subject, I was just suggesting that he look at Google and see for himself. Gun brands are like cars. Some are Chevy people and some are Ford people. The problem with a gun is that one time in 10,000 it goes off may kill someone you love. There are anecdotal stories in every gun shop I've ever been in. To act like that's the only side to look at is just foolish. I can't believe you used a Remington piece to support your position. I was waiting for them to admit they built a piece of crap, but alas, it wasn't to be. I think the announcers paycheck would come up short if she said the company was lying. I'll be looking for GM to say the Volt is a piece of crap nobody wants. The facts are, the company has paid lawsuits, the designer said there was a flaw and drew up another design that was rejected by Remington, and the discharge was filmed and it was a policeman that did it. Can't they be prosecuted if they intentionally faked it? I would buy a Ruger or Browning. Just sayin.
Full disclosure, I own a million shares of Strum Ruger stock, am the CFO of said company, and have a film that shows Ruger's never misfire and always hits the target. We've never been sued and don't have a special on CNBC. That should count for something.
