Well, yahoo is a good name for these idiots and I quote "Regardless of its origins, the gun is unusually powerful.". So I went to the Beretta web site to find out more. Apparently the writer must be confusing the standard .223 with the "unusually powerful" Super Ultra Max FA/-18 Hornet .223 bullets. Further, he states the price does NOT include bullets. This asshat isn't a low info type, he's a NO info type. Face/palm

The ignorance, and lack of initiative to perform any research, is appalling.

“Beretta is tone deaf when it comes to tyrants calls for a disarmed populace.”
There, fixed it.

This story needs pictures, and a youtube demonstration.

Gun company Beretta is tone deaf when it comes to calls for restrictions on powerful guns sold in the United States.

Beretta is not "tone deaf". Beretta is listening to its customers, free American Citizens (who want to remain free) and providing us with the freedom defense weapons we desire. Beretta is also moving out of the Glorious Peoples' Demokkkratik Republik of Maryland, because the Commissars thereof ARE tone deaf when it comes to calls for the government to obey the US Constitution.

The author is an idiot ... or a mouthpiece for tyrants.

Yahoo needs to admit that the “calls for restrictions” are coming from the enemies of the Republic.

Reporters have no clue that power for a rifle is mostly in the cartridge.

...the ARX100 is reasonably priced at $1,950, which does not include bullets.

Does not include bullets, targets, wiping rags, storage crate, box lunch, thermos of hot coffee or free pass to Disney World.

You have to love it when a so-called "journalist" starts his finance-section article with an op-ed. Doom on the whiny b!tch.

This makes for today's bleat from the

[Gaffer]

I own about 10 Berettas. All the way from the little pocket 21 to an M9A1 9mm. Also have a CX-4 in 45 Auto....

I don’t consider ANY of them anywhere near as powerful as my Marlin 1895 GS 45-70. Methinks the writer has only ever shot a 22LR something.

[headstamp 2]

Another firearm-illiterate moron.

[CrazyIvan]

Disdain for the right to bear arms and capitalism and ignorance of the subject all in the first two lines. Yep, it's Yahoo.

[yefragetuwrabrumuy]

So I assume this is sold as a 5.56 or .223 instead of a 7.62 round. Big deal. Give us a lightweight rifle that can take down a deer at distance.

After millions of people discovered Rolling Stone was still a thing after listing “pistol,” “handgun” and “derringer” as among the five most dangerous guns in America, I guess McIntyre wanted some of that internet fame.

[Beagle8U]

“Regardless of its origins, the gun is unusually powerful.”

Yes, soooo powerful that it is suitable for targets or even varmints and small to medium sized game.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

Mr McIntyre is a ignorant, snarly little POS who clearly has an antigun agenda.

[WayneS]

Unusually powerful?

Really?

I guess that means a .30-06 super-mega-hyper-powerful.

[Slings and Arrows]

What a sitzpinkler.

[Starstruck]

Funny that when you describe the features of the biggest non-disease killer we have, the car, nary a word is said. But when you point out improvements in a gun you are tone deaf. Ultra-reliable? I know I appreciate hangfires. Ambidextrous controls? I happen to shoot left handed. Unusually powerful? Does it provide a booster assist to the bullets? Tactical weapon? Basically a semiautomatic with a detachable magazine.

Gun company Beretta is tone deaf when it comes to calls for restrictions on powerful guns sold in the United States. It must be the chance to make money.

Note, please, that this was published in Yahoo Finance. The author is apparently stunningly ignorant both of finance - "the chance to make money"? what the hell else would a gun manufacturer do? - and of firearms in general. Moreover, why it should appear in Yahoo Finance in the first place is a bit odd - Beretta is a privately-held company as it has been since 1526. You can't buy stock. Somebody needs to be reassigned to the celebrity pages and his editor fired.
