This story seems to pop up about every 6 months or so.
It embraces the new antigun tactic about claiming some guns are unsfae because you have o take the safety off to unload them. (can you say 1911?)
"On May 7, 2003, a jury awarded $50.9 million....Brandon Maxfield was unintentionally shot in the jaw on April 6, 1994, by a family friend who was trying to unload the handgun. The gun was designed in such a way that it could only be unloaded when the safety was turned off. The gun’s magazine was also designed to be hidden inside the gun, making it hard to tell if it was loaded....The manufacturer and designer of the gun, Bryco Arms and Bruce Jennings, as well as the guns’ distributors, the pawnshop where Brandon’s parents bought the gun, and Brandon’s parents and the shooter were also held liable.."
I'm going to say this, if the 700 is supposed to be so dangerous why haven't more people been killed and maimed when using them? The article wants to make the point that these basic guns have been in production since 1947 and that the "dangerous flaws" in it's design have resulted in over 100 (how many over 101? Gotta love when the screw with statistics) injuries.
My my figuring there should be tens of thousands of injured and dead people around if the 700 series is just so darn dangerous. Lacking that many injured and dead people I can only conclude that the 700 series is not dangerous or defective.
