You had ONE JOB...
« on: August 29, 2014, 04:21:42 PM »
Man, Remington just can't catch a break! On the bright side, it looks like they're coming out with a slab-sided striker-fired gun...  :D


I can't understand people who think banning guns makes them safer. They must also believe that banning books makes them smarter.

It's how I proved myself useful, often, when I worked in Corporate America.  Little things like product placement, checking what's in the background, and stepping back from the minutia and thinking "what's that say to the average reader/viewer?  To the sophisticated reader?"

Problem is, you point out enough of these "nits" to executives and wanna-be executives and they don't like having you around.  Then when there's a boo-boo, they want you to fix it... yesterday.

What?  It's a gun, isn't it?  Who can tell the difference?
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or give me death!"
—Patrick Henry

"Good intentions will always be pleaded for every assumption of authority. It is hardly too strong to say that the Constitution was made to guard the people against the dangers of good intentions. There are men in all ages who mean to govern well, but they mean to govern. They promise to be good masters, but they mean to be masters."
— Daniel Webster

I think the division that sells the accessories at Remington only gives a crap about selling more cases and not guns.  That case is probably some Chinese stuff rebranded from Pelican with the Remington logo.  Pelican just used a Glock since it's the most popular pistol.  So the accessories manager is thinking why bother taking a new picture anyway.  That costs money out of my budget.

"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

"When it comes to the enemy, just because they ain't pullin' a trigger, doesn't mean they ain't totin' ammo for those that are."~PegLeg

We had a big word for it, but basically if your paycheck says Remington, you should be concerned about all products under that name, not just your little niche.

The scary part of that was the photo crew who had no idea.   Who let's some one with such little gun knowledge have a firearm and ammo apparently unsupervised.
