Beretta sells out the gun community

Re: Beretta sells out the gun community
This doesn't make much sense to me. Has anybody else here heard of Beretta's ARX160? It uses STANAG magazines & is chambered for 5.56NATO.

It seems that this legislation would outlaw this relatively new item from Beretta as well?

To be honest - not a Beretta fan so this does not have an impact on my firearm choice, but I refuse to consider them going forward
I'm more than a little annoyed that I bought one.

Anyone visited our forum gun classifieds in the last few days? Lots of Beretta, etc for sale. Coincidence?

Re: Beretta sells out the gun community
Help me understand, please, why the outrage over a foreign country making laws that have no effect on US gun owners? I mean, Italy doesn't have a 2nd amendment to violate, do they? Our Constitution, gun ownership culture may not apply in other countries. What's up?

Because, as I read it, the NRA-equivalent in Italy has asked other countries to stand with them in their fight for gun rights and against those who would sell out their citizens.RiverCity.45 wrote:Help me understand, please, why the outrage over a foreign country making laws that have no effect on US gun owners?

I don't fear guns; I fear voters and politicians that fear guns.

Anyone know what "gun rights" Italian citizens have enshrined in their laws?lkd wrote:Because, as I read it, the NRA-equivalent in Italy has asked other countries to stand with them in their fight for gun rights and against those who would sell out their citizens.RiverCity.45 wrote:Help me understand, please, why the outrage over a foreign country making laws that have no effect on US gun owners?

I have a problem with it because I do not believe the inalienable right to keep and bear arms stops at our borders.

Re: Beretta sells out the gun community
I don’t recall God saying we have the right to guns. But I haven't spoken to him lately, so maybe I missed that pronouncement.
