Quote:Less than two weeks after gunmaker Beretta beat feet out of Maryland following the state's adoption of restrictive gun laws, another firearms manufacturer is chosing to vote with its feet and abandon a state harboring animosity toward gun freedoms.

Remington Arms has called Ilion, N.Y., home since its founding in 1816, employing some 1,200 people in the process, but when it builds a new manufacturing facility with some 2,000 new jobs it won't be in the Empire State where they're created, but rather the Heart of Dixie, Alabama, that will reap the bounty.

...

Even the big guns in gunmaking, Sturm, Ruger (NYSE: RGR ) and Smith & Wesson Holding (NASDAQ: SWHC ) , are taking hardcore stands on the issue. Ruger will be making its first major expansion in 25 years not in Connecticut, where it's been located since 1949, but in North Carolina, and both Ruger and Smith & Wesson will stop selling semiautomatic weapons in California because of that state's newly enacted law requiring "microstamping," the embedding of a unique code on a gun's firing pin that gets "stamped" on a bullet casing when fired.

They're not officially shutting down in NY, but when the Huntsville shop opens, it will be almost twice the size of the NY shop, with many of the NY jobs moving south, so draw your own conclusions.

The South Will Rise Again.

Now that Remington is leaving NY, I'm sure the NY Nanny state elected officials expect crime and gun violence to go down. The jobs do not matter, they should be congratulated as they must have succeeded in preventing another Sandy Hook. Chalk it up to the power of big gov't.

BOOM!

A lot of items aren't manufactured in New York but still manage to end up there. The criminals will still find a way to get their hands on what they want.

They are still going to build crap.

They'll blame the south for arming their criminals while losing sight of the fact that they're THEIR criminals.

My 870 Supermag 12ga has dropped many boatloads of ducks and turkeys and only jammed once in 5000 rounds.

Crap? Hardly.

Should have done this prior to 1861.

Mostly talking about their ammunition.
