What the heck?

The kid who got paralyzed because someone didn't understand gun safety, then sued Bryco out of existence, is going to use his reward $ to buy Bryco out...

They sprang up after the passing of the 1968 Gun Control Act, which banned the importation of cheap guns from abroad. Several companies in the Ring of Fire have sought bankruptcy and in the process they have avoided legal liability for incidents involving their firearms.

One had a total of 18 claims pending.



I wonder who that was?

I wonder who that was

Raven Arms, Davis Industries, Jennings Firearms, Inc., CalWestco Inc., Lorcin Engineering, Sundance Industries, Bryco Arms, Phoenix Arms, and B.L. Jennings, Inc.

All basically the same-makers of cheaply made, inexpensive zinc framed pistols. Horrible guns, but they are affordable if you're poor and disposable if you're a cheap felon. (According to crime records, most felons must be cheaparses, as violent crime-related guns are usually old revolvers or pistols from these companies).

Well, all I can say is I never saw a Raven that didn't work.

Wiser heads than mine noted they were more reliable than a S&W Model 59. (No dash number)
