I read that one and commented. It's utterly absurd - as if the Beretta (a) was the only and/or first "wonder-nine" - it was neither - the BHP, CZ75 and many many others before and since, and (b) military adaption is the *cause* of the handguns being available to the public, as if they wouldn't have been legal but for the military adaptation? AND, to buy the argument, you'd have to swallow all of that, plus that effective guns in the hands of the citizenry is a bad thing.

It's just a ridiculous pack of lies / nonsense.
