Virtue signaling is the state sport!
Tennessee is is bigger, more fun, and smells better.
I was astonished to find out that in 2021 this company is still headquartered in Assachusetts.
The North won the first civil war by having a huge manufacturing advantage over the South. Especially firearms. That has been changing over the last several years. Just sayin’.
Kimber, Beretta, Remington, and several other gun and ammo manufacturers have been moving south, to more 2A-friendly climes. In fact, Kimber moved from Yonkers, NY, right down the road here to Troy, AL.
The mayor wants to help 550 families losing their jobs? How about endorse their 2nd amendment rights, help fight idiotic state laws? Okay, best help now is to assist them in their moves and start downsizing the local government in anticipating a lot lower tax revenue?
Lord, please take me back home to Tennessee.
The BBQ!
Someone told me the state rifle of Tennessee is the Barrett M82A1. I don’t know what that is but it sounds like a good choice.
It really sucks. I traveled extensively in New England and overall it is American awesome. The problem is politics,government and demographics.
I’m looking to move to Tennessee too... anyone know where is a good place to look?
Nobody cares where they are made. When are they gonna get rid of the zit?
This will probably be one of the very few times where I can say with some confidence that the Northerners that will be moving with the company are more than likely going to be a net gain for Conservatives in Tennessee.
I went to school in that part of Massachusetts. Definitely a very big difference, politically from the eastern part of the state, when you remove all the college professor types. Massachusetts seems to have a college or university in every other town for some reason.
But, the western part of the state is filled with blue collar guys that like to get in the woods and hunt deer.
On a side note, Maryville isn’t necessarily a Conservative mecca:

My state wants gun manufacturers to move here too

Union vs right to work state. Easy choice.
That’s cute. They really think they will be able to make AR’s in the near future anywhere in this county with a Government that has been overthrown.
But why Maryville? Lamar! is from there
Springfield Massachusetts and other towns and cities along the Connecticut river were the birthplace of machining and precision manufacturing in volume in the United States. The history of the companies and their products is well worth reading about, and the Springfield Armory is well worth a visit.
