My next question is how long can Beretta hold out?? My favorite Handgun manufacturer (4x's over now) has itself pretty firmly implanted but how long can they last, no man or Company is an island unto itself. So here is an idea, let us consolidate a list of non conciliatory gun manufacturers along with thier e-mail addresses and praise them for thier NOT folding under pressure. Rather than sending them scalding e-mails after the fact (which we are quick to do) Build them up now so they will not fold as pressure mounts! Beretta USA has an e-mail through it's leadership forum, the womans name is Maryanne Albert, her e-mail is malbert@berettausa.com I believe that we should be just as quick to praise as we were to condemn. Our last assault that involved Beretta resulted in legal action by Beretta against HCI, both websites still bear the scars from last September, Beretta still has it's big blue disclaimer and HCI must look at that nasty disclaimer of theirs every day as yet another stinging reminder that they lost once again to Beretta. HCI would like nothing more than to trip Beretta up and watch her fall in line with the others. As it will love to watch other Gun manufacturers fall in as well. Lets start with this one and start compiling more, let us all go out and praise those that remain faithful, and they may very well be able to call the rest back into the fold. We as a group mounted a very successful campaign before why should't this one be even moreso??

...“ They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety.” --Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania, 1759.
Whereas, to preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them; nor does it follow from this, that all promiscuously must go into actual service on every occasion. The mind that aims at a select militia, must be influenced by a truly anti-republican principle; and when we see many men disposed to practice upon it, whenever they can prevail, no wonder true republicans are for carefully guarding against it.
---Richard Henry Lee, The Pennsylvania Gazette, Feb. 20, 1788
