They and all the other manufacturers of guns should stop selling their product in the tarnished state completely

Five million a year annual payroll.

At ninety employees that’s $55,500 per, as IYAS9YAS sez.

I use to visit their store when they were in South Gate. I have owned some Weatherby rifles over the years.

Good for them getting rid of one of those Saterday Night Special making gun mongers just like Illinois did with Les Baer!

Don't know why they stay.

My Dad had one of their 22 rifles. But he never got to use it! I had it all the time. A tack driver!

Another good reason for splitting the state up into 2-3 states. It is not fair for the millions who do not agree with the strip of land on the coast.

There already is an exit tax. We fled in 2015 and like clockwork, my husband gets a demand every year for some tax that the Franchise Tax Board—oops—forgot to collect.

They’re less likely than the mafia to “forget” a debt.

Being an idiot has worked out pretty well, actually.

It’s that sarcasm thing that seems to cause me trouble!
