For their part, Beretta isn’t saying what they’ll do. Yet. They’re maintaining a professional level of tactful calm. But we don’t have to stay quiet.

Beretta needs to move to Texas. We have machinists in this town who have put rockets into space.

They.will.curl.your.hair.

Would be nice if they started an “embargo” on doing business with the government and law enforcement.

Well, I’ll say this. I own multiple Beretta pistols (almost every type they make before their “P” series) and even a CX-4 and a Beretta Stampede.

They will be the LAST Berettas I own that are processed through their Maryland enterprise. I won’t spend my money with appeasers and Vichy conspirators any more. This includes S&W, Springfiled, Colt, et al.

“Why, then, would state legislators actively pursue legislation that will make it impossible for Beretta USA to continue with business as usual? It seems dubious, economically. But politicians aren’t idiots. “

The last sentence shows either a wanton disregard for empirical fact, or wistful idiocy......

“For their part, Beretta isn’t saying what they’ll do. Yet. They’re maintaining a professional level of tactful calm. But we don’t have to stay quiet.”

Let’s hope Beretta’s professional level of calm is more ‘tactical’ than tactful....since politicians aren’t idiots....

It would be an expensive proposition but I would like to see Baretta move to a state and community friendly to them and their products.

Perhaps they could gradually phase in a new, more modern facility in a place like Texas, Florida, Wyoming, etc., and gradually phase out the Maryland facility.

The employees in Maryland who can’t or won’t relocate can take the issue up with their idiotic government.

I asked my son's friend, a Marine trained small arms expert, which semiauto would be the best to buy. His advice was to avoid Beretta. Last time I was at Bass Pro they were sold out of all of their semiautos except .22’s, those near $1,000, but they had several Berettas.

FR gun experts...was the young Marine right?

>But What About Beretta?

Beretta says they don’t bluff but it seems like they are content to help MD collect revenue to ban more guns.

Their silence now that MD has demonized gun owners is not a good sign.

But politicians aren’t idiots.

I wonder, does the author has empirical evidence to back up this claim? I can't think of any...

Better than everyone buying a gun, I hope to see every county, especially rural ones, having small gun-making operations. Ammo, too. That way we won’t have to worry about whether outfits like Beretta and S&W get taken over by the government.

Beretta should come to South Dakota...no income tax and a long firearms tradition.

Texas should take over MD and move in troops.

I would bet their government contracts that they stay put in maryland, and don’t say boo about anything, along with all of the other large firearm and ammunition manufacturers in the northeast. They will not jeopardize their business relationship with their largest customer, let alone risk being shut out of their largest market if they don’t play along. Business is business, even in banana republics.

” What’s Next for Beretta?” Carry yout A$$ES back to Italy and take that POS 9mm “pistol” with you. The sooner the US military gets back to an “UPDATED” .45ACP handgun and STARTS winning WARS AGAIN the better WE will be.

Since modern firearms manufacturing is no longer tied to big brick buildings crammed full of overhead shafts, leather belts and the occasional appearance of Richard Lawrence's ghost, it isn't like Beretta is a captive outfit. A sharp logistics/transition team could get Beretta into a facility located in a sane state very quickly, and I suspect that their subsequent lack of regret - at least once the lines are up and running - would mortify Maryland hoplophobes.

I think they should go ahead and move, if this gun bill becomes law. Politically speaking, this state blows dead goats.

Maryland “Freak State” PING!
