Re: Remington 700 safety problems: CNBC, 10/20/10, 8PM Centr

The preview I saw showed a military sniper closing the bolt and the gun fired, no hand was near the trigger.

Near as I can tell Remmington is saying that this is due to people adjusting and modifying the trigger. They follow that with that if proper gun safety is used no injuries or deaths would have occurred.

Their second statement is certainly true as, if a gun is never pointed at something that you don't want to kill or destroy no one would have been injured or killed.

I guess this is something all of us need to remember because everything that man makes is not perfect and failures can occur and when they do with guns it is never nice.

Regarding why CNBC is covering this, it is that Remmington is a company that is on track for an Initial Public Offering and it is good news just like their story on Toyota's unintended acceleration (which DOT tests have now shown that it was driver error in all cases reviewed, hitting gas not brake). CNBC has not aired a new expose' now with this information.
