Rossi parent company Taurus in legal trouble.

Post by zippy »

A poster on another forum said that when his LGS tried to order Taurus firearms from a wholesaler, he was told that no Taurus orders were possible, due to sales to a U.S. sanctioned gun runner supplying the conflict in Yemen.

I'm guessing this might affect the supply of new Rossi's for the short term.

Well that stinks.

I also just read an article that Feinstein had managed to tweak the export laws in order to hamstring U.S. arms and munitions companies attempting to compete in export orders.

Interesting, I wonder if they were planning to sell them the 9XX,000 recalled pistols? This outfit sure has been a lot of hot water since 2013, stock is still in the toilet and has been since then.

Personally, I would like to see them spin off the Rossi end of business to someone else that is truly interested in the product line and supporting it.

As I look at what I call evil forces of the world. I see things in Brazil news, and Lord knows we know some of what dirt happens in this country. I would let nothing be a surprise. This anti hunting thing in Brazil could also grab a shovel and help bury Taurus/Braztech.
Don't ask me to do anything where where I can't take Bible and Gun, I would leave Dog home, but reluctantly.
