The media abuse of Lugers comes down to the basic argument of the tool versus what people do with the tool.

The Germans have always made really good precision tools. Yet, people don't associate Zeiss optics with evil, or Siemens electrical or communication products with evil.

Most people are completely unaware that the Swiss made what may be even higher precision Lugers; nor do they associate Lugers with the Swiss.

Yet, possibly more than any other firearm, the Luger is labeled by media as "evil" itself. The truth is that it's all emotional. Really clever producers, writers and actors have constantly pushed their audience's emotional buttons for 100 years.

The truth of the Luger is always intriguing. The truth of it's history is even more so.
