it's not a hit piece when Remington tested the 700 in freezing conditions and 4/10 guns fired prematurely when disengaging the safety
It is in when this is being sensationalized and twisted to intentionally run a company out of business. Maybe you haven't actually read any of the court documents but it would do you a lot of good to do so and then understand how this particular story fits into a bigger picture you don't quite see. This isn't just about the XM/P triggers, this is also about the Walker trigger and design characteristics that can potentially cascade against other manufacturers. I know hating Remington is collective jerkoff fodder for some but there are other issues at stake here and some of you are incredibly shortsighted.

First off cool your jets.
I get what you are saying but just because they are a gun manufacturer cannot mean they are shielded from public and legal scrutiny over faulty designs. If they have a design that is egregiously dangerous the public has a right to know about it. And they will have to pay the consequence.
I see this being no different than the recalls and legal battles chevy Toyota ford and every car maker has to deal with. For instance the recalls on Toyota gas pedals that were sticking wide open and killing people not all that long back.
I understand the fear of bashing on gun manufacturers for safety issues but this isnt trying to bring them to court over making a gun that holds 30rds and shoots fast. It's bringing them to court over a design flaw which like it or not does actualy occur with a higher percentage than all of us would like.

Explain the big picture. Use small words.

If their guns are firing when people flip the safety, then cascade on. They deserve it.
I love guns. I want to be able to tell fraidy cats that guns don't just "go off". You have to pull the trigger. But Remington is taking that away from me.
