Remington recalls 7M+ guns.

The Remington 700 series is finally being recalled after decades of complaints that the gun can fire without the trigger being pulled.

Regardless, in 1948 Walker proposed a fix designed to lock the parts in place, but the change was never implemented.

Walker died in 2013 at age 101. But he told CNBC in 2010 that he believed Remington's rejection of his proposal "had something to do with cost." A 1948 internal analysis obtained by CNBC estimated the cost of the change to be 5 ½ cents per gun. 

That's kinda fucked up.

It's a self-regulating design. Why recall it now? :P

The government won't care as long as it only fires one bullet when the trigger isn't pulled. :tard:

There is only one truth and it is that people do have penises of different sizes and one of them is the longest.
