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.

Which state would that be?
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.
The United Kingdom also used to have a premiere firearms industry. Now they have just a few due to their own laws.
But why Maryville? Lamar! is from there

I fled Massachusetts in 1977. What took them so long?

750 jobs going to Tennessee.
The problem with New England is New Englanders.
“My family worked there for a couple of generations.”
Are you going to move South too?

Overthrown by stolen election is not the same thing as occupying it.
They can forget that crap.
What we really need right now is a primer manufacturing company, right here in Texas.
