The Observer-Dispatch reported Friday that RemArms, formerly the Remington Arms Company, will be closing its historic gun manufacturing facility in Ilion, New York, this coming March, following a settlement reached a year ago with Sandy Hook families.
"I am writing to inform you that RemArms, LLC ('the Company') has decided to close its entire operations at 14 Hoefler Avenue, Ilion, NY 13357 (the 'Ilion Facility')," a letter from the company sent to union officials on Thursday read. "The Company expects that operations at the Ilion Facility will conclude on or about March 4, 2024. The Company did not arrive at this decision lightly."
Remington, the nation's oldest gun manufacturer, was founded 1816 in Ilion. In recent years, the company has struggled with financial difficulties. It has filed for bankruptcy twice and, in 2022, agreed to a $73 million settlement with families affected by the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. This case marked the first instance of a gun manufacturer being sued and having to pay out for a mass shooting. Remington manufactured the rifle Adam Lanza, the shooter, used to take the lives of 20 children and six adults.

Oops! I meant to say drug and alchol abusers!
Les Baer escaped across the river to Iowa some time ago.
Move to the great free state of Kansas. We would welcome you with open arms. (Pun intended).
I SUPPORT THAT.
EXACTLY
Yep, their M14/M1A rifle does not have a bayonet lug, and only includes two ten round mags, to be “California Complient.”
LOL !
For the “Canada model”, i think the the bayonet lug was allowed, but only a 5 round magazine.
M14 etc. now banned, but not the Garand, go figure

So, how is Ford, GMC, Toyota, Budwiser, et.al., doing, as paricipants in other incidents, doing?
They’re on their way to Bankruptcy.
I agree. Maybe we don't have to go back to the 1950's completely. But there are some folks who may need to live in group homes. They need to be monitored so they take their meds daily. And yes, no firearms for them.
They're okay when they take their meds. But when they're not taking them, they're nuts.
Anyway, our mental health system is crap. They treat you and then throw you out to the streets. There's nothing humane about that. And they pose a threat to society at large.
