almost all the firearms makers are moving south. Remington and Panther Arms are making AR 15 in Huntsville Alabama.
.........if they (all these gun and ammo gunmakers) had been around about, say, 1850, and done this............there might be another flag flying over the White House and fewer Islamist’s running the streets of the US.
Huntsville probably had good human capital development for proper metalworking as a result of the rocketry industry being there for decades.
