Well, that's interesting. To me Barrett was an American icon"A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

Gun control for the masses could easily be achieved by rich commies buying up all the large manufacturers and suing small companies into bankruptcy. This would cause prices for existing firearms to skyrocket, making gun ownership beyond the means of the average serf.
I suspect Barrett is getting older and needed an exit ramp for his investment. This is common for closely held companies that aren?t able to divest (i.e. cash out) their ownership stake. Cabelas is a good example where the family couldn?t sell their stock fast enough after they went public.Thermidorian Reaction . .

If some level of government had that information, what would they do with it? How would having that info benefit public safety? How would it benefit law enforcement?Comment

There are manufacturers behind the CA rusted Iron Curtain that are just as diehard on 2nd Amendment rights as any manufacturer in a 'free state' so I don't doubt an Australian manufacturer could have the same views about firearm ownership, even though they are caught behind their own Iron Curtain.
If that's the case, buying an American firearm manufacturer would make sense, to still pursue and protect their interests, while doing it from outside their country, whereby they can smite Australian tyrants from afar and from within.
I think a large percentage of the Australian people are very pro gun rights, but they've been railroaded by government for lack of a 2nd Amendment.
There are plenty of places in Australia where you should not find yourself WITHOUT a firearm!

Saw this:
Googled for the brief:
HELENA – Montana Attorney General Austin Knudsen is leading a coalition of 20 states against a foreign attack on the American firearms industry. In an amicus brief filed Thursday, the 20 attorneys general seek to protect the law-abiding firearms manufacturers within their borders and to uphold the rights of their citizens to keep and bear
Mexican Govt is suing these manufacturers:
SMITH & WESSON BRANDS, INC.; BARRETT FIREARMS MANUFACTURING, INC.; BERETTA U.S.A. CORP.; GLOCK, INC.; STURM, RUGER & COMPANY, INC.; WITMER PUBLIC SAFETY GROUP, INC., d/b/a Interstate Arms; CENTURY INTERNATIONAL ARMS, INC.; BARETTA HOLDINGS SPA, GLOCK GES.M.B.H; COLT?S MANUFACTURING COMPANY, LLC,
Link to the Brief:
Looks like CA is supporting the Mexican Govt in their own brief.
I am sure there was no phone call from the big guy asking for a little quid pro quo from the Mexicans.Comment

Silly to me that so many supposed freedom loving people hate capitalism so much.I live in Murfreesboro and the Barretts are stand up people...real deal, so don't bash them because they reached a point that selling the company they poured their blood, sweat, and tears into was the right decision. Few of us have spent our life navigating the crazy of being a govt contractor as well as dealing with international arms sales and all the risk and stress that brings. Celebrate what Ronnie did and don't eat one of our own who is a solid 2A supporter.Comment
