If this is true, Bill Ruger is rolling over in his grave.

I don't know why he would. Beretta has been in the gun making business for over 500 years, continuously. They have bought several other gun makers that continue to build and sell guns, to some degree independent of Beretta (think Franchi, Benelli, Tikka).

IMO, it might be a feather in Ruger's hat that Beretta would be willing to do so. Maybe, Bill Ruger would be honored. Not certainly so, but maybe.
He would probably take it over what is happening now. Their returns have surpassed Taurus. Almost all of their lipseys guns like the Taffin perfect packing pistol etc have had issues. Poorly fitting parts mostly. Employees are getting laid off.
