The New York City public advocate has asked federal regulators to investigate whether the gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson Holding Corp had made adequate disclosures in its financial statements about how often its products are involved in crimes.
Interesting. Does anyone have stats on police crime and the firearm they were carrying at the time?Here's the real scoop, by the way:

Ms. James is opening a new avenue in her fight against gun sellers and makers. Earlier this month, she called on TD Bank, a big lender, to stop financing Smith & Wesson.
This summer, she convinced the New York City Employee Retirement System, the city’s largest pension fund, to explore divesting itself of its holdings of gun retailers like Walmart and Dick’s Sporting Goods.
CNN early this AM had a story about a CA sheriffs department increasing accidental discharges by 500% after adopting S&W M&Ps... I'll try to find it when/if I get time this morning.

L.A. County sheriff's deputies learning to shoot the Beretta were taught to rest a finger on the trigger as soon as they took aim. The mantra was "on target, on trigger."
Stupid is as stupid does
"It seems as if the sheriffs are having a problem with training," Berns said. "What you do subconsciously is a matter of training."
No Shit.
