Why are gun makers doing this?!

FN wont sell there FN-57 pistol or bullets to the public, and the inventor of the gun that can shoot around corners would sell it to the public because "I dont want it to fall into the wrong hands." Ya im sure every gang banger is dieing to gets their hands on one. And Glock is now making current pistols more PC, Colt is making their AR15s VERY VERY PC when they dont have to, they choose to. With this kind of attitude we are going to be stuck with Post-ban ARs and AKs forever!
The maker of Barret is one of the only guys I love. He threatened not to repair or sell Barrets to the LAPD if they kept using his rifle as a propaganda tool and if they kept passing unconstitutional gun laws.

I pass the motion that any politician that would pass or push legislation that goes against the constitution and any lawyer that would sue someone for exercising their rights should be shot as a traitor in public by a civilian firing squad using guns of their choice. Imagine how things would look on C-Span if they new they could get shot for passing another AWB[:D]
One,in a free country,should be free to express their opinion.
Now..if you run for office..you should be required to pass a Constitutional knowlege test.Upon taking office..flagrant violations of the Constitution should be cause for immediate dismissial and thereupon that idiot shoud be put to work hauling garbage..all they are fit for.
Wait...Violations of the Constitution are ALREADY cause for dismissial...hmmmmmm
God,Guts,& GunsHave we lost all 3 ??
A lot of the P.C. crap has driven me away from certian firearms. Remington put that stupid locking safety on their guns and I haven't bought one since, and will likely remove it if/when I ever buy another one.

I read the thread yesterday, there actually is a FN-57 being sold on Gunbroker--it's got 10-round mags. and is supposed to be a legal civilian import.
Generally though, you have to understand the perspective of the small specialty arms maker. His largest customer is often likely to be law enforcement/military. Why should he risk the possiblities of bad publicity (which could quite literally put him out of business) if someone misuses his product? The amount of revenue a specialty arm/accessory will generate from general public sales is usually out-weighed by the potential costs of a public "incident" with the arm/accessory.
I wouldn't say that the arm maker is the one to blame; the media and irrational people who don't hold others responsible for their actions are the ones that deserve the real blame.

Heres the "gun" that can shoot around corners. You mount a Glock or Beretta, and the attachment allows you to shoot around corners. Its made in Israel.
