Who they runnnig guns to?

Gun-running news from America, this bit:

All the partying wasn't exactly conducive to running a small business, especially one as complicated and perilous as arms dealing. As AEY grew, it defaulted on at least seven contracts, in one case failing to deliver a shipment of 10,000 Beretta pistols for the Iraqi army. Diveroli's aunt — a strong-willed and outspoken woman who fought constantly with her nephew — joined the two friends to provide administrative support. She didn't approve of their drug use, and she talked openly about them on the phone, as if they weren't present.


Made me think of this. What's the world coming to when the word Beretta makes you think of Americans running guns to their supposed enemies to keep a profitably murderous war going, rather than the funny hat it should bring to mind?
