Proposed Bill Would Force Gun Owners in NY to Buy At Least $1 MILLION in Liability Insurance or Forfeit ‘Privilege’ to Own a Firearm

On the production floor of Beretta USA sits a hulking new barrel-making machine ready to churn out the next object of obsession in America’s love-hate relationship with guns: a civilian version of a machine gun designed for special operations forces and popularized in the video game Call of Duty.
Beretta, the nearly 500-year-old family-owned company that made one of James Bond’s firearms, has already invested more than $1 million in the machine and has planned to expand its plant further in Prince George’s County to ramp up production.

I know a lot of ‘Famiglias Italianas’ at my son’s school whose husbands work at Beretta in Accokeek. The mothers can’t speak that much English, and I’ve helped them ‘maneuver’ the system for years. None of them are pleased with the State and their stand on gun-control...
Their bold plan articulated a novel vision for a magnet laboratory that would:
Feature a model federal-state partnership Serve magnet-related research in nearly all areas of science Promote interdisciplinary research Support science and technology education Work in partnership with industry to enhance the competitive position of the United States in magnet-related research and development
The proposal proved persuasive. Following a stringent peer-review competition, the National High Magnetic Field Laboratory was awarded to FSU in August 1990. With its first major hurdle cleared, the team moved quickly to the next: turning their promises into bricks, mortar and magnets."
There you go.
I think you’ll enjoy your Beretta.
There is nothing very practical about it...too big to carry concealed easily, too small to put down a drug crazed grizzly bear, etc...but I just plain like it. I especially like the ‘feel’.
I had used this pistol in the Army and liked it; but, I was somewhat ignorant of the Beretta company. Literature in the box stated the company was 500 years old! With a ‘Beretta’ still at the helm. Truly amazing.
Hello Rick Perry!
Before you try to lure Californians to Texas, look and see what they did to Colorado.
Yall can move to a free state, just leave your attitude and opinions where you came from.
I just purchased a 92FS two weeks ago, I love it! It is the only modern pistol I have found that fits my meat hooks properly. I was also lucky enough to find about a dozen mil-surp 15 rounders and a couple of Mec-Gar 18 rounders at an obscure gun shop.
Beretta should pull out of Maryland and create some unemployment in the state where residents hate them so unfairly. They should stop all the free training and repairs they give the state. The governor of Maryland will stomp all over Beretta in his attempt to be president of the US. If progressives in Maryland continue to have their way, one or two more American industries like Beretta will “go foreign” where they are welcome to add to the local economy overseas.
F’n Lawyer Compensation Legislation.
Texas will go purple soon, and blue within ten years.
To many Mexicans. What is worse is that there are a lot of Californians doing what they do best. Destroying where they live.
Start planning your exit strategy.
I did get the Hogue grips instead.
Virginia is a lot close.
WEST Virginia is a lot closer.
Ask Gov. O’Malley if his bodyguards carry water pistols.
I guess that the guvnr’s life is considered of much greater value than those of law-abiding American citizens’.
The gall that these elected a-holes have!
Har!

As a Texan, I would rather have second generation Mexicans than first generation folks from California.
Hispanics are hard working folks who are here to work.
OUCH!
Trust me, there are plenty of good conservative in Calif. just not enough.
conservative = conservatives
Its amazing the spelling errors you can catch after you’ve
hit the post buttton.
There’s an Italian bronze foundry/bell maker that’s twice as old as Beretta and still run by the original family.
Along with Benelli...Adios...
SC is making a strong push for all of them. It may happen.
