Yes!

The big names are now starting to jump ship.

I own an American made M-9. US Military requires that their guns are made in the US, so when Beretta won the Government contract in 1985 or so, they had to build a manufacturing plant in the US.

I’m in California and I’m keeping the pair of 15 round mags that came with it. They are probably worth their weight in Gold.

Is he bringing Fred, the Cockatoo with him?

THANK YOU! I had forgotten the Cockatoo's name.
I HOPE he is. That bird stole the show.

He gunned his wife down while she was sitting in a parked car

He did that--but I can't remember it being quite that simple. Maybe I'm wrong.

Good for Beretta. Now they need to stop doing business with Blue States.

You don’t keep a business running for close to 500 years by being stupid. Good for them.

This is actually big. These guys have been making firearms since charcoal burners roamed Europe. They have made it through Drake, Elizabeth I, Mussolini, and all that crap that went on in between.

When they pull out... I'll listen.

They have been beating rocks into firearms since before my family could write.

And now they have 400 people out of work, on top of the family members that were supported by that company. Wonder what manufacturing company is going to come rushing right in to fill the void. Let me think.

They are so damn dumb.

And I’m thinking that the crime rate in Baltimore is gonna drop like a stone within the next week or two.

Is this official? Seems like it’s a resignation of an eventuality but I don’t see any official statement from Beretta confirming that they’re absolutely leaving.

“Other than target shooting, the only other reason [for a semi-automatic firearm] would be for self-defense… [Why would you need a] rifle that accommodates 20 rounds semi-automatic for deer hunting? … It’s only very infrequently that someone commits a crime with an assault weapon – why do you need one for self-defense?”

It’s for that unlikely circumstance that I need God Powers, in terms of Ammo, to dispatch any miscreant that would threaten me or my loved ones.

You Dick!

I have been robbed at my Mom’s Quickstop twice and surrounded by Aholes more than I can remember who thought they were going to extort monies from me because they perceive I have money.

So a hardy FU. I had the means to defend myself on several occassions and now order my life based on those experiences.

I’ve grown accustomed to losers trying to take advantage of men and they have learned I’m a nice guy...But....

You have never been in danger of being shot.

You have never had a knife stuck to your ribs.

You know nothing about nothing..

I was going to purchase another Kimber .45 but, Beretta has made a stand.

I will purchase their product.

Last December I bought a Beretta 8045 through Widener’s, new, two mags, under five hundred bucks. That is one of the best shooting lowest recoil .45 ACP pistols I’ve ever shot. I like it so much I paid $40 a piece for two extra mags.

The pistol has only one negative, the decocker/safety is on the slide not the frame.

I don’t know about him, but I would prefer to outgun the guy who tries to break in. I remember a movie where Alan Lad? plays Jim Bowie. The other guy pulls a knife, and then Bowie pull out HIS knife, which is like a short Roman sword!

I love Arizona and I’d crawl over broken glass to vote for Jan Brewer.
