[edit] Bias

I'm just wandering if this article is a bit biased towards the company, as the part about the judges decision says about blaming the deep pockets of the company. I'm thinking that this reads like a them being a scapegoat, which is hardly nvop. Hellfire83 09:20, 12 January 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Merging with Jimenez Arms

Relative to question of whether to merge this article with Jimenez Arms; what is the legal status of Jimenez Arms? Is it a different legal entity than the former Bryco Arms, or is it considered to be the same company? If it is a different company, and simply bought the assets and intellectual property of Bryco, then perhaps different articles are warranted. On the other hand, if Jimenez is now out of business, because it was not ever a separate legal entity, then I think a merge of the two articles makes sense. Yaf 22:07, 9 February 2006 (UTC)

As it appears that Jimenez Arms was a rather short-lived "do-over" of Bryco Arms", it seems reasonable to merge this article into the Bryco Arms article. If someone feels differently, lets discuss it. Yaf 03:32, 10 February 2006 (UTC)

Merger completed between the two articles. Yaf 03:45, 12 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Needs more years

It's not immediately clear within the first paragraph when this company was opened and when it closed. If you read all the way through the article you'll learn it was shut down as a result of a lawsuit in 2003, but nowhere is the information on when it was started mentioned. Both of these should be in the first sentence in the first paragraph. --Cyde Weys 02:04, 26 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Jimenez Arms is still making/selling guns in California as of 3/29/06

They just can not sell/make guns that have a mag capacity over 10 rounds like their JAnine Dean

[edit] some changes

I've tried to tweak this based on some feedback we received via email. NPOV is elusive in areas as divisive as this, and I've done the best I can. The Uninvited Co., Inc. 20:27, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

It appears that you have largely addressed the POV tag issues; have removed the tagline for now. If there are still issues, no doubt someone will tag again. Thanks! Yaf 21:00, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Brandon Maxfield's Age

This article should give more attention to the lawsuit. Brandon was injured when 7 years old, but the lawsuit was filed 9 years later, and Brandon is listed as being 17 in 2004, while attempting to purchase the company to shut it down. Just think that a little more depth is due to the article.

The story about Brandon is here: http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2004/07/12/eveningnews/main629071.shtml —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.168.242.17 (talk) 22:47, 2 October 2007 (UTC)
