GUN MANUFACTURERE BERETTA DISHES A DOSE OF REALITY TO MARYLAND
Eric Reed
Based on these new restrictions, Beretta has reluctantly decided to head west to Tennessee, but not without a few choice words for Maryland first.
“Our business has grown in recent years, and because of that, we needed to expand production in our U.S facility, located in Accokeek, just outside of Washington, D.C., in the Maryland suburbs.
Unfortunately, as we were planning that expansion, Maryland’s governor and legislature voted in favor of new regulations that unfairly attack products we make and that our customers want.
These regulations also demean our law-abiding customers, who must now be fingerprinted like criminals before they can be allowed to purchase one of our products.
We have seen these types of legislative proposals in Maryland before, and they never seem to reduce crime. Maybe this is because the proponents of such legislation blame the product instead of human misconduct.’
But in any event, because of these new restrictions and the pattern of harassment aimed at lawful firearm owners we have seen in Maryland over the decades, we decided to expand our facilities in a state that shows more respect for citizens who exercise their Second Amendment rights.
We chose Tennessee for our new facility expansion. Our plans for that location are extensive and long-lasting.”
Probably a very bad move on Gov. O’Malley’s part. First of all, he’s created more victims with these unconstitutional pieces of legislation. And secondly, with an unemployment rate in of nearly 7%, Marylanders sure could have used some jobs. So nice work on the “trifecta” Maryland. Violate the Constitution, keep unemployment high, and create victims out of law-abiding Marylanders. I’m Eric Reed https://Facebook.com/EricReedGRAA, and may God bless America.
