I know what you mean, but I think this is part of new lines being drawn. Sometimes you have to fall back and regroup before continuing the fight.
I wish Governor Martinez and some of our NM leaders would try to get a few gun manufactures to come here. We have great gun laws, and plenty of people looking for work.
It would be cool to see Colt in Tx...”
That is certainly one company that appropriately belongs in Texas.
I guess I keep thinking that if enough people and businesses leave those blue states someone on those states would finally wake up, figure out why and do something about it.

Good for them. This is the way a company can fight back - pick up and leave high taxed, gun grabbing states and head to a friendlier climate. When, oh when, are the people in the blue states going to wake up- or are they?

Still, any day the gun-grabbers and their states lose business, and tax revenues, is a good day. :)
THX!
It is more likely that South Carolina will stay ‘red’ a lot longer that Texas.
Perhaps.
Perhaps not.
