Y'all are barking up the wrong tree, here. Remington began in New York, that's their historic main plant in Ilion. Going on two centuries of history there, tradition, jobs at stake, longtime employees.
Trying to boycott every single company that doesn't act in absolute perfect accord with demands, and demands made after the fact at that, will weaken the meaning and impact of any such boycott in general.
Remington Arms is not your enemy. They've just elected to stay in the manufacturing facility they've always been in.
while the ground the plant stands on is now openly hostile to freedom
Sorry - business is business - I dont do business with people that support abortion either - as the politics dont match my own. If remington chooses to do business with people that take away my freedoms, I no longer do business with them…period
I think THIS boycott will work. They are getting absolutely steamrollered on their Facebook page. Boycotts are easy to publicize these days.
He may have been killed in the battle of May 16, 1771 by the troops of the same corrupt English governor
He may have been one of those who had his only firearm confiscated by the troops of the English governor after the battle.
He may have been one of those Regulators who were sentenced to be hanged, drawn and quartered, although they were only hanged on June 19, 1771 by the English governor
Almost 250 years later I peacefully chose not to further finance the Remington Firearms Corruption of 2013 with my dollars. In addition I will advise and encourage others to do the same

After lots of thought I agree. Remington is not the enemy here. Its our politicians. Remington is providing good rifles to our Navy Seals, Rangers and other SOCOM soldiers. Just because Remington is keeping the factory where they founded their business and retaining all of the longtime employees is not a reason to boycott. They need to do what is in the best interest of their company and people. We need the gun manufacturers on our side.
The man was sincere when he communicated with me. A no BS guy. Im sure he hates all of this crap as much as we do.
There are other ways to fight all of this antigun nonsense.
With that being said, I'm still torn on the issue. Try to stay and support the Second Amendment in NY state or say “lost cause” and leave? There are generations of people that have worked at the factory,and not the type of people that up and leave their community easily. NY state has some great history. The sad part is it's all history....
