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”?
