Early Winchesters were almost hand made. Where will anyone find that workmanship in these times ?
I understand that Wyoming is actively trying to recruit gun manufacturers by offering substantial tax incentives.
The environment for freedom and individuality is pretty poor in New England. It isn't just the politicians (although it's easy to hate the slimy scum bags.) THe problem is the people there. They just don't want freedom. They want to be serfs They enjoy the comforting chains and they enjoy licking the hands that feed them (with their own resources). They would be pathetic if they weren't so agressive in trying to inflict their love of government and hatred of freedom on the rest of us. As it is they are worthy of nothing but contempt.
