I HAVE RECEIVED A RESPONSE FROM JEFF REH OF BERETTA, USA CONCERNING THE GOVERNOR'S $3 MILLION DOLLAR ATTEMPTED BRIBE, (FOR SMART GUN RESEARCH IF BERETTA DOES NOT OPPOSE THE BILL), REPORTED IN THE SUNPAPERS TODAY.
Dear Sandy,
"Thank you for asking for Beretta's position concerning the Governor's proposal to fund smart gun research. We were not contacted by any media before the story was released publicly, so we did not have an opportunity to comment.
Beretta is ABSOLUTELY OPPOSED to any mandate which would require the implementation of internal locks in firearms. We have expressed this to the Governor and to Senator Mike Miller and we will testify accordingly when this issue is presented to the Maryland Legislature.
Beretta has been evaluating internal locks for firearms for about ten years. We intend to continue these efforts and we do not oppose funding to support such research, provided funding DOES NOT INCLUDE A DEMAND FOR MANDATES.
If you have any questions about our position, please do not hesitate to contact me. We look forward to working with you on this issue in Annapolis during the current session."
Best Regards,
Jeff Reh
Beretta, USA
PLEASE PASS THIS INFORMATION ALONG TO ANYONE WHO READS THE PRESS REPORTS ABOUT GLENDENING'S $3 MILLION DOLLAR BRIBE.
TELL OUR PEOPLE THE TRUTH. BERETTA, USA HAS BEEN AND WILL CONTINUE TO SUPPORT GUN OWNERS AND SHOOTERS IN MARYLAND, THE USA AND AROUND THE WORLD. WE HAVE A STRONG SUPPORTER IN BERETTA, USA.
SANDY ABRAMS
