Beretta’s five-century history—from a small Italian workshop supplying the Venetian Republic to becoming a major manufacturer for the United States military—offers a striking backdrop to its long and increasingly strained relationship with Maryland.

For those who prefer to read:
Gun maker Beretta U.S.A. will move all of its manufacturing out of Maryland to a new factory in Tennessee, the company announced Monday, after protesting Maryland’s strict gun law passed last year.
The company met with employees Tuesday to tell them that 160 manufacturing and related jobs would move. Beretta’s headquarters, including about 95 administrative and executive jobs, will stay in Accokeek, Maryland.
Previously, the company had said it would use the new Tennessee plant only for making new products. That plant will be an expansion for the company and may eventually employ 300 people, said Jeff Reh, Beretta’s general counsel.
“We are fairly upset about even having to consider a move,” Reh said. “Our preference would have been to stay and grow in Maryland for decades to come.
“But we have to be prudent about our future, and we have more chance to expand and grow in a state that is more positive to the second amendment,” Reh said.
Beretta was active in lobbying against Maryland’s Firearm Safety Act of 2013, considered one of the nation’s most restrictive gun laws. It bans 45 types of assault weapons and prohibits buying ammunition magazines with more than 10 rounds. Gun buyers must be fingerprinted and licensed before buying a handgun.
He’s not panicked. That’s what they wanted. Now MD can say they’re truly a “gun free” zone!!
Probably had to deal with their employees constantly being harassed and insulted by idiots. Plus the politicians trying to sue the company out of existence.
He must have panicked. It’s in capital letters.
Hate companies but love the tax revenue and now they don’t have to worry ,LOL
" Julian News Report, hosted by Julian and Omar."
His website is also brand new, registered this summer of 2026. Visiting it -- should you wish, https://juliantalks.com/ -- brings you to 'their' links to other YouTube videos, with titles including "explodes" and "humiliated" and more hyperventilation designed to lure "clicks."
So who is Julian? His website doesn't tell you a last name, nor location. But the domain was registered to someone in California.
Clicks!
I don’t blame them.
Sounds like NYS.
The state of Maryland won’t have Beretta to kick around anymore!
I thought they already left. Good on them!
Maryland: beautiful state, wonderful scenery, great people and absolutely horrible, worthless politicians.
Today’s leftists are capable of anything. For example, Maryland could shamelessly pass a new law taxing gun maker profits at 95%.
Everyone on MSNBC would applaud like trained seals.
Beretta is wise to get out.
It doesn’t matter - post 2 has it from an established news source.
I go to MD once a year for a golf week end and it is the only time I leave my pistols at home, their gun laws are as bad as DC.
What took Beretta SO LONG????
Still a Legend: Beretta Firearms
In 2016, Beretta USA moved all manufacturing operations to a brand-new, state-of-the-art facility in Gallatin, Tennessee. The 100-acre production plant was built from the ground up with an innovative design and advanced technologies that allowed Beretta USA to increase production capacity.

Where in Tennessee are they moving to? My gut to the factory they just built or are building is just south of Murfreesboro, TN. I’m not sure if they are done building the factory yet but my gut feeling is they are done building that factory or very close to being done.
Good move on your part. Cops in places like Maryland will arrest you for a firearm violation even when there is no violation. Baltimore is particularly bad.
You get thrown in jail. Better hire a lawyer. The lawyer will probably get the charges dismissed. The meantime you’ve gone through hell.
New York City and DC are like that too.
It matters to some, else FR could simply become a bunch of links to Google/YouTube videos. The AI stuff is showing up aplenty now too. Perhaps it's just grumpy me, but I so prefer "an established news source." Even better, multiples such that one may broaden a picture, such as comment # 16 provided, with something about which I was unaware. Kudos to Libloather, in that regard.
—”So who is Julian?”
Not to worry.
Julian is Dan Rather’s son.
Fake but accurate.
