Remington answers NBC

Posted by David Hardy · 24 April 2012 10:42 AM

NBC ran a special claiming Remington rifles were unsafe, and Remington gives an online reply. I assume there was at least one lawsuit involved, as they were able to post video from depositions of the NBC expert witness ... who admitted he took the shootee's word for the claim the safety was on, and that he'd never examined the rifle at issue... which in fact had the safety rusted into the "fire" position.

Why does anyone with half a brain believe ANYthing the mainstream media say any more? (I think I just answered my own question........)

Several months ago I watched the NBC documentary and then reviewed Remington's defense at the Remington web site. Remington didn't seem to be able to defend itself very well. The problem for Remington seems to be that if they admit the problem and order the recall, the cost would wipe out the company.

I tend to wonder about people having common sense anymore. I wouldn't take someone else's word on anything when handling a gun. Wonder how long before some of the cases around here are blamed on the gun manufacturer - including one where the hunter shot at what he thought was a turkey that turned out to be another hunter sitting in a beach chair in a field. I still don't get how you can confuse a person sitting in a beach chair with a turkey.
