My Father taught Hunter Safety for close to 40 years. I was involved with him in that for about 15 years. One of the IMPORTANT things he taught was to NEVER TRUST a mechanical safety.
Don't they teach that anymore?? Or do they still teach it, and almost no one listens??
Whether or not you consider a particular design of mechanism to be defective, or just less than the best possible design, NOTHING removes the responsibility of the person holding the gun when it discharges. NOTHING.
I won't pretend to understand the accounting games that are played in business today, Logic tells me that Remington shouldn't owe any debt for anything they didn't buy but it seems legal that they can, and do...
Over the last half century or so, Remington has famously, drastically misread the market demand a LOT of times. They have also produced a handful of truly excellent designs, along with a boatload of less successful ones.
Sad to see short term greed destroy a couple centuries of reputation for quality but that seems to be the way of the modern world. I hope Remington can survive and make a quality product and prosper, but I don't think its likely until/unless the people in charge focus on making good guns and ammo for a profit rather than just making a profit.
