[QUOTE="mmhoium, post: 436877, member: 21755"] First, to say that in order for someone to get hurt, they have to break a safety rule is ridiculous. Just as one example: [url=http://www.wday.com/event/article/id/29675/]Thompson woman sues ammo company | WDAY | Fargo, ND[/url] Next, I saw the CNBC special and what I found the most interesting was that shortly after the 700 trigger was introduced, its inventor suggested a simple fix that would cost very little. It was rejected as being too expensive. Move forward a couple decades and we see the Pro-X trigger which curiously has the exact same piece that was suggested back when the 700 trigger was introduced. This wasn't media speculation, this was evidence from a lawsuit in which Remington had to produce documents. The thought that a company would recognize a potential safety risk, have a solution offered, and deliberately ignore it is upsetting, no matter what industry we look at. But, with most "documentaries" like this, I really doubt much will come of this. Fastforward 6-8 months, and I would guess no one will be talking about it. Whether you agree with the show or not, its somewhat interesting how they chose to portray Remington as this super giant that wants people to get hurt, ha. -M [/QUOTE]
