One word: RELOCATE!

If you do not work for the king - the king cares not what you think.

One word: RELOCATE!yulp!, heard that real America (the non-squishy states)...
would probably WELCOME their mfg. plant / trained & valued
employees to their state...Sayonara!!!!!, You Stinkin' Liberals....

Colt...and other manufacturers have been in that area for nearly 200 years. It’s not that easy. These antigun nuts are getting away with murder based on agenda and emotion. It makes me sick.

All of the arms manufacturers will eventually have to move to more gun-friendly states. It’s odd how of the old North is both disarming itself and sending all its manufacturing capability elsewhere.

We would love to have Colt in the small Idaho town where I live...plus, they could open a door and do their test-firing.

Cumming GA is home to Steyr and Walther, with Glock not far. Come join us in a free state, Colt!

I have a couple of Colt Rifles. A cherry SP1 made in 1971, and an LE6920 made in 2010. I also have a 1911A1 US Army from 1943, and a Colt 1911 commerative WWI issue.

I won’t buy another from them, or Springfield, Smith and Wesson, Beretta, or whomever if they stay in a state that limits the magazine sizes and bans what they call ‘assault weapons.

I'll bet that virtually all of the old-line weapon and ammuntion company workers in the N.E. are diehard union employees. The likelihood of them relocating out of there is slim to none. For these people, self preservation trumps national politics.

[Wurlitzer]

The only way to greatly reduce gun (or any other) violence is to get rid of the people most likely to commit that violence.

Unfortunately, to advocate such action brings out the 52 card deck of race cards.

Historically, Colt has had its problems. Connecticut-based gun manufacturers like Stag Arms, Colt, Ruger, and Mossberg generate approximately $1.7 billion in revenue and create approximately 3,000 jobs for the state.

At this point, we're in such a fiscal mess, I don't care if they are union jobs or not. They are jobs. It's sad, no, more like a Shakespearean tragedy. And it has been that way for a long time.

Emperor Dannel P. Malloy has said if the assault weapons ban were to be expanded, gun manufacturers would still be able to sell weapons that are illegal to sell in Connecticut outside of Connecticut.

"I don't want them to leave," Malloy said on Wednesday. "As long as they are manufacturing a product that can be legally consumed or purchased in the nation they are welcome to stay in our state." WTF?

*Sigh*...manufacturing in good old Connecticut is disapperaing fast. Pratt used to be our largest emplyer...now it's the casinos. *Sigh.*

Please pray for us.
