Gun makers resist new state law - it's their loss

If I have 50 customers and 1 consistently tries to change my product, complains, asks for something extra, then that customer ends up costing me money. That cost cuts into my profit margin on the other 49 customers. Why keep the customer that has proven to be a continual PITA?

Many of us have tried using the smart business argument regarding Ruger and S&W's decision. Others have scoffed at such arguments, refusing to accept reality.

Classic case of an OP spreading regurgitated liberal FUD.

I think microstamping LEO guns is a good idea. So, in the case of those LEOs that erroneously shot at those two women in the Chris Dorner manhunt we'd know which idiot the gun belonged to.

The sad part about the article is many people will read it and actually believe what they are reading. After all most typically believe that it has to be correct when it comes from a major media outlet.
