Interesting in what way?

The magazine quoted the former head of the U.S. subsidiary, Paul F. Jannuzzo, as saying that Glock had “organized an elaborate scheme to both skim money from gross sales and to launder those funds through various foreign entities.” The magazine also quoted Jannuzzo, who was eventually charged by Georgia state prosecutors on racketeering charges, as alleging that “the skim is approximately $20 per firearm,” suggesting that millions of dollars has been hidden from the IRS over the years. The company insisted at the time it had been “victimized” by Jannuzzo and others and denied any wrongdoing.

Personally, I'd put more weight on the word of the person who is NOT a disgruntled ex-employee who is currently in jail for racketeering. Apparently the "pot-stirring" DailyBeast doesn't feel the same way .

“Glock has been very good at turning a regular handgun into a weapon of war,” said Daniel Vice, senior attorney with the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, another gun-control group.

Ummm. Okay... Is it new news that guns have been used for war for the past several centuries? And is the implication here that a "regular handgun" cannot be used as a weapon of war? And to do so requires some sort of grand, evil effort?

Vice said the consequences of allowing the federal assault-weapons ban to expire in 2004 were obvious in that supermarket parking lot in Tucson last weekend. If the ban was still in place, Loughner could have been stopped long before he killed so many people, since he would have needed to stop and replace the magazine, Vice said. “Loughner would have been limited to 10 rounds, which means that many lives in Arizona would have been saved.”

Prior to reading this, I was unaware that I was literally able to Puke Rage. I guess that's one instance of "interesting" that I was able to acquire from reading this drivel.
