Well, they managed to hold on for 140 years as Connecticut turned increasingly liberal. I used to drive by the building where their factory was. It looked like one of the last manufacturing plants still operating in those parts.
Too bad, really. Connecticut used to be a good place until the commuters moved in and overwhelmed it.
ahh, as a life long resident and commuter I can tell you it’s not them that ruined it. Sure there are more elite leftists than in the past but for the most part Fairfield County where all of the commuters live is still Republican. Sure many of them are country club republicans but still not hard core democrats. The rest of the state with what’s left of the union workers and off course the cities of New Haven, Bridgeport and Hartford which are nearly 80% minority and/or illegals is what makes the state solidly blue.
Winchester’s gone and now Marlin... ...this just sucks.
I’ve never understood why Colt, Springfield Arms, and all the rest could ever stay put in what is essentially now “libland”...
Frankly, I’m suprised the libs didn’t shut them all down a long time ago.
