Site News GunTube Under Attack: The Smith & Wesson Lawsuit Expands

For those who knew them, Marty Pearl died the evening of Saturday, September 12 and Tim LaFrance died on Sunday, September 13.  Both men were characters with truly unique life and business stories.

I’m still gathering my thoughts.  But if you’ve got a Pearl Mfg or LaFrance Specialties gun, just know that you’ve got something special from someone who was consequential.

I saw that on TJ's board - quite a loss to the NFA community.    


A rare pic of Marty (he strongly disliked his being picture taken).
Now with more political fatigue.

Two giants have been lost. Godspeed Tim and Marty.
