[Second Amendment First]

Remington and its competitors are not lacking suitors: in recent years, a number of states, including Alabama, Montana and South Dakota, have sought to persuade gunmakers in the Northeast and Midwest to move their plants to parts of the country with less restrictive gun laws, and, in many cases, a culture that is friendlier toward guns.

“I think it’s ridiculous for them to argue that [Remington] would leave New York,” said Jackie Hilly, the executive director of New Yorkers Against Gun Violence, a group that wants microstamping. “Look, frankly, if we really want to keep jobs in New York, let’s invest more money in yogurt,” she added, referring to one of the state’s growing industries.

Empty-headed, hippy-dippy, feel-good, moronic liberal barking moonbat.

I thought Remington was headquartered in Lexington, KY for some reason? Is it just the Manufacturing that is in NY?

Somebody help here. I don’t have time to research it at the moment.

If Remington does move it’s manufacturing, don’t be surprised to see it go out of America. They have to weight the potential damage to the Remington Brand but could likely save a lot of money by outsourcing or moving the manufacturing out of the country.

It’s “just business” and our government doesn’t know the first thing about it.

“Remington has made it clear that such laws could prompt it to leave New York for a more sympathetic state.”

Or they could move east to NH. Plenty of room here next to the Sig Sauer and Thompson Fire Arms factories. Lots of skilled labor here and no unions.

I believe Remington would be welcome in Mississippi, I know I would welcome them. I have several Remington firearms and they are all well made and do what they are supposed to do. My oldest is an 1858 revolver one of my relatives brought home from the war. I also have an 870, 1100, 700, and a 552. My next firearm may be the Remington 1911 clone.

Remington has made it clear that such laws could prompt it to leave New York for a more sympathetic state.

Why aren't they ALREADY gone, given New York's proven animosity to guns and gun rights? How can a person or a company have any self respect and willing cooperate in the continued existence of those who hate and denigrate them and their product? Besides this New York case, the fact that New England and Illinois are centers of gun manufacturing is an outrage.

[Navy Patriot]

Remington should already be gone from New York and should offer no support to the agencies of any gun control state.

Ya’ll move right down here to Georgia! The Atlanta area is just fine.
