When CWII starts, the Yankees won’t have ammunition. Does MS have “made in MS, sold in MS and used in MS” law? If not, it’s time to get one.

The move comes less than 24 hours after members of the union representing over Olin 800 workers rejected concessions that would have allowed them to keep their jobs.

I am sure that the union knew this from the start, but the company is prohibited by law from telling them that they will shut down if the union will not accept concessions.

It has always boggled my mind why so much of the firearms related industries are mainly up North in ‘anti-gun’ type states.

They should all come South where the people are friendly with their industry, better business climate, and cheaper labor/no unions.

How about some Breaking hot-dang GOOD news. 1000 jobs manufacturing Winchester ammo coming to Mississippi.

Thank you, you yankee union idiots. We can always use more ammo and jobs down here.

Wonder if they will enjoy the union solidarity in the unemployment line? Never understood the union position of our way or we will punish you by being unemployed.

Yay! Can't imagine what would possess any company in a politically incorrect industry to stay and prop up with their jobs and sales and income taxes the statists who demonize them. My attitude would be "You don't approve of the business I'm in, fine. I'll take it where it benefits people I approve of." Go Galt as far as it respects specific governments based on faulty premises and who think they have the right to decide who is and is not "worthy".
