Why Smith & Wesson Dumped Massachusetts For Tennessee
19FortyFive ^ | 9/20/2021 | Peter Suciu

Smith & Wesson Brands Inc. has called Massachusetts home for 170 years, but the company’s CEO said that legislation pending in Beacon Hill could bar the manufacturer from making certain types of firearms – including AR-15 style modern sporting rifles – in the Bay State. As a result, the company decided to move its headquarters and facilities to the Volunteer State, which has stronger support for the Second Amendment as well as a lower cost of living.

Yes, and with a payroll of 750 jobs there will be a lot more jobs related to furnishing the new residents needs.

“...which has stronger support for the Second Amendment...”

That’s an understatement.

Middle Tennessee. I moved from near Erie, pa to Crossville. No income tax, property taxes in pa were 3 grand a year, here they are 675 a year on a house that is worth 4 times as much. Roads don’t beat your car to death, weather is much better and the pace is slower.

My grandkids are still in MA. My Son in law is a state trooper, so they aren’t moving. Someone has to teach the little ones the “right” way. Although my kids are more conservative than most.

And no state stores… the DMV of booze buying. Went to school in Meadville in the 70’s.

The North outnumbered the south in population 3 to 1.

I’d say that was the reason for the war

I understand.

My (only)daughter and (only)grandson live on the East Coast. 4 more years and it will be possible for them to move. Not sure they will even then.

How insensitive. The correct term is “bugs of color”.
