Unboxing Reveals the Nanny State - VIDEO

Amsdorf

VDMA VIDEOS
And here is what you get from Beretta when you buy a model 92 series handgun. The pistol comes covered with oil, which you have to clean off before you shoot it. Do as I say, not as I did. <g>

The interesting thing is the junk they have to put in the box to satisfy the nanny states of the People's Republic of California and the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, which insists on..well, just watch

 
Did anyone watching this video read that People's Republik of Taxachusetts propaganda when he held it up? It was essentially a complaint letter from the Taxachusetts AG to all Baretta purchasers about the fact that the Left's wholesale fail distributorship is overstocked with SMART GUN TECHNOLOGY! Yeah! This firearm is not equipped with any device to prevent operation by UNAUTHORIZED USERS! What a shocker! And here I thought we were living in West World where all firearms only work on androids played by Yule Brenner and not people.
 
Bingo, that piece of paper was ridiculous. But makes for good politics, the MASS AG can claim a "victory" in the "battle against handguns."
 
cable lock = required by FEDERAL LAW [18 USC 922(z)(1)]

Box says "Contains California Certified Lock", because CA requires gun locks to meet a certain standard in order to qualify as a "gun safety device/lock" and the cable lock supplied by Beretta meets that standard.

In addition, the Beretta Model 92A1 is not on the CA DOJ Roster of Handguns Certified for Sale.
So, a CA FFL dealer can not transfer it to a non-exempt person in CA.
Which means, further proof, that the cable lock is included to satisfy FEDERAL LAWS, not CA laws, which the person in the video is stating it's the reason it's there for.


18 USC 922
(z) Secure Gun Storage or Safety Device.—
(1) In general.— Except as provided under paragraph (2), it shall be unlawful for any licensed importer, licensed manufacturer, or licensed dealer to sell, deliver, or transfer any handgun to any person other than any person licensed under this chapter, unless the transferee is provided with a secure gun storage or safety device (as defined in section 921 (a)(34)) for that handgun.
(2) Exceptions.— Paragraph (1) shall not apply to—
(A)

(B) Prospective actions.— A qualified civil liability action may not be brought in any Federal or State court.
(C) Defined term.— As used in this paragraph, the term “qualified civil liability action”—
(i) means a civil action brought by any person against a person described in subparagraph (A) for damages resulting from the criminal or unlawful misuse of the handgun by a third party, if—
(I) the handgun was accessed by another person who did not have the permission or authorization of the person having lawful possession and control of the handgun to have access to it; and
(II) at the time access was gained by the person not so authorized, the handgun had been made inoperable by use of a secure gun storage or safety device; and
(ii) shall not include an action brought against the person having lawful possession and control of the handgun for negligent entrustment or negligence per se.
 
Well, now we all feel better that it is not the People's Republik of Kalifornia requiring the lock, only a special Kalifornia lock.

But, overall...still the nanny state at work in any case.
