Okay, I'm about tired of everyone screaming about Beretta like they're the big bad boogie man or something.
They're a good company who's in business to make money. They don't go around buying companies to destroy them. They buy them to improve them and make them more profitable.
If you don't know this, Beretta acquired Burris in 2002. My uncle was President of Burris from the time Don retired until just recently. His daughter (my cousin) is still in charge of North America operations. Beretta has great leadership and is vested in making acquired companies succeed.
This is a far cry from Black Rock. Those jerks would sell their own mothers into slavery if they thought they could make a buck. Where's all the outrage about their share of Ruger stock? I truly hope that Beretta does take over and then buys out Black Rock.
I really love the Green Bay Packers because the fans own the team instead of some corporation. But in today's world, it's better to have a good corporate owner than to have jerks for owners. The Colorado Rockies will suck forever until they have better owners. And Ruger will blossom with Beretta as owners.
Call me crazy, but I think my uncle knows Beretta better than 99.99% of people on various gun forums.
