Well I certainly hope so. I guess I need another shotgun.
Economics Laws 101 for Neu Yuk Dummies.
1. Money and talent are fluid.
2. Money and talent flow away from taxation and regulation.
Neu Yuk is loaded with taxes and regulations.
Remington management wisely noted the recent Goonion defeat at the Volkswagon factory and decided to flow away from Neu Yuk’s onerous taxes, regulations and unconstitutiunal laws.
Socialism is only acceptable to the welfare state clients.
Happily, Neu Yuk will soon have an all welfare client population, their income stream will cease, and they can starve in to dark.
They voted for it for generations - let ‘em be the last generation of treasonous Neu Yukkers.
PS Socialism IS treason.
Why is the totally corrupt terrorist organization known as the United Mine Workers the union of gun makers?
Richard Trumka, the terrorist, led the UMW in there terror in Southweat Virginia in 1988/89
I will no longer buy a gun manufactured in NY, MA, MD, or CT. Or CA (not that I know of any).
Unions. You can't fix stupid.
If the ruling elites in the aptly named Empire State don’t want conservatives, they shouldn’t be surprised when they leave and take their wallets and jobs with them.
About the time I enlisted in the Air Force, 1956, a common refrain in the southern United States was the statement that the South would rise again. It seemed like a silly dream in those days, but it has gradually happened. More car manufacturing jobs, gun and ammo, high tech and medicine,etc have re-energized the south and it seems to be here to stay.
Let’s hear a little rebel yell.
It is hilarious what is not being said.
“In fact, it has spent more than $20 million on new equipment for its factory in Ilion and added 560 jobs at the plant in the past few years.”
This would be before Cuomo decided to be a jerk. So doesn’t really matter. It can be written off as a loss.
“(The union guy) said he’s worried the company will move jobs out of Ilion, the Herkimer County village where the company has been making firearms since 1816.”
Especially because Alabama is a right to work state, which means the end of his union shop.
The $20 m spent on new equipment for the existing plant means little, methinks. Equipment can usually be relocated to new facilities.
If gun demand slackens, they can close the old unionized NY plant.
Look. Cuomo made it clear a couple of weeks ago. There’s no room for certain people in New York. Obviously the people at Remington recognize that they are some of them.
As sent to the author, R. Moriarty...
“Please learn some gun basics. An AR-15 is NOT an “assault rifle”. An assault rifle has selective fire (one trigger pull - many bang-bangs.) An AR-15 is an example of a semi-automatic rifle (one trigger pull - one bang.) It is quite the difference.
Just speculating but it is possible that naive reporting such as yours is responsible for New York’s SAFE Act and the ensuing actions of Remington. If you (and others) hadn’t muddied the waters throwing around terms like “assault rifle”, not knowing the true meaning and definition of the term, just maybe the public outcry might have allowed Remington (and other, I’ll bet) to NOT consider abandoning New York state.
I, for one, will never again set foot in New York, let alone NYC. You guys get what you deserve.”
States are great. They allow people and corporations to move away from socialism, unions, high taxes and other forms of ignorance that aren’t conducive to freedom and wealth creation. If we could only get the federal government to quit trying to screw up everything equally....
Hey, Union Thug.
You sleep with dogs, you wake with fleas.
A left wing union official is surprised when a left wing governor and state legislature pushes a law through that is detrimental to their livelihoods. That’s incredible.
Perhaps that handwriting on the wall in gigantic day-glo letters?
Why are workers at an arms plant in the United Mine Workers union?
Any and all gun companies should move out of commie territory and lose the unions when they do. No excuse to remain and support the leftists.
If they could, they'd call a slingshot an "assault weapon".....just to make David a diabolical murderer when he slew Goliath.
