VA's electorate scared off Baretta and TN was chosen instead.

While Terrence and his gang of crooks talk about which laws they will choose to enforce, gun restrictions & fag marriage, the jobs are going elsewhere. Bravo idiots.

Quote:Italian gun maker Beretta said Wednesday that Tennessee's support for gun rights was a major factor in its decision to build a manufacturing and research facility in the Nashville suburb of Gallatin.

The $45 million plant is projected to be complete this year and create 300 new jobs.

Gun rights were "the first criteria for deciding to even consider a state," said Jeff Reh, a member of Beretta USA Corp.'s board of directors.

Outstanding! I'll consider a Baretta for my next purchase.

I'd recommend the CX4 storm in .45ACP. It's like an updated M1 Carbine with bigger bullets.

I'm not surprised. I doubt O'Malley is upset over losing gun jobs and more than Perry is upset over the job losses from abortion clinic closings. They both consider those jobs as collateral damage to their policies and will push regulations over jobs if it checks the right partisan boxes.

Baretta and MD have a long history. Too bad for MD. Kudos to TN. I heard TX was in the running. Fine weapons, Baretta.

Boy, this certainly speaks volumes hunh? Perry will welcome a new factory and American Manufacturing, while that clown O'Malley would push policies to advocate the killing of babies.

That aside, how many abortion clinics have been forced to close in Texas? Hadn't heard of this "job loss", though I am relieved it's happened if true.

Government regulators shutting down small businesses.

My point is, the governors don't care about the jobs at stake, they care about the larger social issue.

Leftists pick on babies because they can't fight back and Christians because they aren't expected to fight back. One day they'll read Psalm 144.

This has nothing to do with babies. My abortion clinic example was to drive the point home that baretta moving out of maryland is considered a "win" regardless of the jobs lost.

Just like shutting down abortion clinics is considered a "win" regardless of the jobs lost.

I'm amazed at how everyone in this thread has consistently spelled Beretta's name incorrectly. Literally everyone, despite the name of the company being in the story quote in the first post.

Totally valid criticism. I just used Jerry's spelling from the thread title.

I prefer Sig Arms, but hey, more jobs. (for Nashville that is)

Silly, though I am not upset that Tennessee has more jobs coming in.

You can blame the abortion clinics shutting down in the docs not wanting to care for their patients in case one goes wrong. All they need is admitting privileges at a local hospital, which is easy to get and should be required if you're going to perform a surgical procedure on anyone.

The Beretta plant is in Southern Maryland, in Stenny Hoyer land. What is amazing is the moral duplicity at work here. As a former resident of Waldorf, MD, Beretta was always a responsible and drama-free manufacturer of arms that produced legal merchandise and good jobs for the area. Within a 10 mile radius, there must be 6 or 7 "asian massage parlors" providing illegal prostitution services provided by 21st-century sex slaves, against their will, with seemingly little public outrage to their plight. So in the eyes of O'Malley, a legal business producing a viable product is not a preferred business for Maryland, but the traffikcing and exploitation of human sex slaves in the same area are of little concern.

F'n politically-expedient hypocrites.

I will always take the side that seeks to protect life than that which seeks to destroy it.

Quote:Ask Gov. Nikki Haley and she'll tell you the Palmetto State is becoming known as the "Beast of the Southeast" when it comes to manufacturing. But in 2013, gun manufacturers made their mark on the state, and there's no sign that's about to slow down.

Just ask Josh Fiorini who says new gun laws in his home state of Connecticut almost put him out of business.

"It just created a lot of uncertainty around the business of creating firearms, and really put our employees in a position where they're looking at criminal charges for doing their job," said Fiorini.

It wasn't long before 43 other states began vying for Hosh's business. In the end, the lure of the beach and the pro-gun political climate in South Carolina was too much for him to resist.

"When you do legislation that goes against a company like that, we've got two or three of them now because of that. Our goal is to stay out of the way of business," said Haley.

Quote:Josh's company, PTR, was the third gun manufacturer to relocate to South Carolina in 2013 and the industry's impact is creating opportunity and growth.

"That adds another 2,200 jobs to the state," said Steve Sanetti with the National Shooting Sports Foundation. "The total effect of the economy annually is approximately more than $270 million a year."

I can understand why Beretta would want to move to a more business friendly environment, but what difference does it make where they make their guns when they can be shipped to any state they want to ship them to? Politics usually isn't involved in making sound business decisions - or at least it shouldn't be. I could understand if MD was busting balls over their business and how they make their guns, but even after they move, the personal gun restrictions in MD would still be in place. Did MD do something to upset the business environment of Beretta which would make doing business more difficult or is this purely an ideological decision?
