On a Sauer Note

New Jersey Attorney General Platkin (D) filed a complaint against SIG SAUER, making numerous false and unsubstantiated claims about the P320. This false information requires immediate clarification and remedy. [More]

New Jersey Democrats don’t care about safe guns– they just want to destroy the company.

Sig is riding the tiger, holding on for dear life, knowing what will happen if they’re thrown.

Don’t look for Garden State “Only Ones” suppliers Glock, Benelli, and Colt to act like their turn in the barrel might be next. And just what the hell is an “enhanced patrol rifle,” and how does that differ from a “weapon of war designed to quickly kill as many people as possible”?

On a Sauer Note

A federal judge has given the City of Chicago until this week to explain how many Chicago police officers are still carrying a controversial handgun that’s been tied to dozens of lawsuits across the country associated with claims that it misfires without a trigger pull. [More]

This is a design engineering issue that should be resolvable with objective standardized testing. Dragging things out in court only delays the inevitable, it either is or is not defective and is or is not protected by PLCAA.

We’re the Only Ones Hoplophobic Enough

Milwaukee police said they were so afraid of their department-issued handguns randomly firing, they wouldn’t bring them home near their family [More]

I’m not a hardware guy– I do rights. I don’t know enough about it to know if this is just a ploy to put on public pressure or if there really is a design/manufacturing flaw. Like I said back when, if the allegations are true, then it’s not protected. Which is as it should be.
