You’ll be appreciated more in Alabama. :)

MD better get working on their exit taxes.

Open up a factory in Ashdod, and employ only American expatriates. You’ll never want for workers.

Unfortunately state legislators that want stricter gun laws and bans don’t give a flying crap about jobs.

Even more so here:

...and we're already recruiting manufacturers - for the exact same reasoning: see this link.

I saw that a couple of days ago. Thanks for the reminder.

300 jobs is nothing in their scheme of things. The Fed probably hires and fires that many in a day.

[gov_bean_ counter]

Lots of Right to Work options out there to be sure.

Michigan is a great place to make firearms, come on over!!!!

I just sent a note to our Ag. commish: figured if he sent one letter, he’d probably be okay sending a second one!

[gov_bean_ counter]

HA! Good job. :)

All Jill Biden needs is a double-barreled shotgun....and six or eight Secret Servicemen to keep her safe in MD 24/7.

Texas welcomes any and all gun manufacturers. Y’all come!

Come to Kansas.

With our history of guns, gunfights, concealed carry-friendly towns, gun clubs, shooting sights, NRA and GOA members, soon to become tax-free on incomes.

We have lots of women who support guns and gun ownership, participate in fire arms proficiency contests.

We've already invited other gun manufacturers here to sample our fair state.

It’s difficult to import small arms into the USA of certain kinds. Basically the parts can be made abroad, but a certain amount of USA labor has to go into the process.

I work for a military contractor, and been told of the repeated issues trying to get the Tavor into the USA, despite massive demand.

>>Michigan is a great place to make firearms, come on over!!!!

I thought they changed the name to Michiganistan?

I’ll bet Perry already has his flight booked to try to get them to move to Texas. Good luck, but if you want it, you gotta go get it.

GO TEXAS

13 bullet magazine?

Does he really mean 15 round magazine?
