Free Internet Press :: Cheap Guns Boom In Europe :: Uncensored News For Real People: "E.U. cracks down on firearms, illegal trafficking in altered alarm guns is booming on the continent. They're cheap, easy to alter, impossible to trace - so they are becoming the criminal's weapon of choice.
At the age of 10, Massimo Tanfoglio was already packaging pistols in his father’s factory. Now, age 57, he manages the Fratelli Tanfoglio firearms factory in Gardone Val Trompia, in northern Italy. Strolling down the streets of this small town, you’ll see small arms manufactories everywhere and signs saying ARMI, FUCILI, CARTUCCE or just plain GUNS. Gardone (pop. 12,000) has already been sustained by the arms industry for 500 years in the mountains that provide a winning combination of iron ore, wood and hydroelectric power. It has roughly 80 companies, ranging from small-scale family manufacturers of hunting rifles to the world-famous Beretta.
Tanfoglio pistols, highly esteemed by shooting enthusiasts, have become a benchmark for firearms experts. But in recent years, somewhere between 1500 and 2,000 Tanfoglio model GT 28 guns have been used to commit crimes in The Netherlands. This is a cheap alarm gun that has transformed into a firearm – in backstreet workshops in northern Portugal."
