“MA hasn’t changed their gun laws in years. No need to hate on S&W.”
Sure there is. They don’t make a particularly good gun, they sold out gun owners some years back (under different management), and they continue to support the tax coffers of a state that despises gun owners.
First off all, they make very well made, easy to shoot, and exceptionally well crafted firearms. To suggest they do not is just silly.
They employ a great deal of people who are hard working, good citizens, and support thousands in an environment that has lost thousands of manufacturing jobs.
Sure they pay taxes. They don’t “support” the Commonwealth per se. They support their local communities. For Gods sake, they pay taxes to the Fed gov at a time when most of them would shut down the gun industry.
If SW were to move, my guess is they would move out of the country. None of us need that.
A lot of Freepers talk out their ass when it’s easy and it doesn’t affect them personally. Unless you know what you are talking about, it’s best to support the good guys, even though we are struggling in tough territory. We used to support each other. Lately, this place has turned into a Texas mutual masturbation circle.
