I’m sure a number of States will be lobbying them to re-locate to their theirs.
There's some serious BS walkin'.
Looks like CT is #1 to me.
Perhaps Maine will ban lobster harvesting next.
At one time, Connecticut was a major manufacturing state, as well as a major manufacturer of firearms and ammunition.
In fact, much of New England is full of old brick factories that went out of business over the years—mostly because they were driven out by taxes and unionization.
We banned your products but we want you to stay here.
I don’t know if it’s stupidity, irrationality or a complete disconnect from reality.
Connecticut-—Nothing like crapping in your own mess kit.
Maine would ban lobster eating, not lobster catching and selling.
Oh no, let them harvest, pay the taxes, employ the people and all the support companies, but you cannot eat any lobster under penalty of law.

OP-ED | New Gun Law: Good Intentions Meet With Reality

PTR Industries announced last month the company would relocate, most likely to Texas. Others, including Colt & Sturm, Ruger and Stag Arms, are likely to follow suit, taking with them about 3,000 jobs and an estimated $1.75 billion in taxable revenues.
If they leave, its because they want to leave. They have a decision to make are they loyal to their employees who helped them build that company in this place? Gov. Dannel Malloy surmised last week at a community forum in Bristol, home of PTR.
Its unfortunate that, when confronted with the prospect of yet more bad economic news, not only did the governor do his best impression of Alfred E. Newman, but he insulted the entrepreneurs who built those companies by accusing them of being disloyal to their workers.

Bring it on, Texas would love to have them all.
That legislation was one giant gift to San Antonio.

States cannot afford to lose such economic successes.
All of the alleged "green" industries combined, one suspects, do not amount to the economic gain of 200 employed plus 6 mil in monthly sales, with no government support. (The ripple effects are huge, btw, and severely compound the financial losses to the once-great CT).

Guy is a total hypocrite saying he doesn’t see a contradiction.
Oh, how bout if you have WalMarts but nobody is allowed to shop in them? How bout “I really wish McDonalds would stay here even though we aren’t permitted to eat there due to CT health laws.”
Idiot.
This guy is seriously screwed-up. Employees can be found just about anywhere, and I imagine there would be more than a few of their existing employees that would be willing to relocate if these companies do decide to leave the state.
