They could resurface in Huntsville, Alabama, and away from the Unions. Redstone Arsenal has plenty of people that no longer work there that could revitalize the company and make a quality product. Any weapons manufacturer left in NY has got to have a mental management problem.
Or a wife who loves shopping on 5th Avenue. :)
Sixty years ago congressmen from the New England states got the ball rolling by demanding an end to the import and sale of 5 shot bolt action army surplus rifles, because one was used to kill President Kennedy.
In reality they wanted the import banned to protect their own gun industries from cheap competition. After all, how can a Hunting Rifle company selling a rifle close to $90 compete with imports costing $12?
But eventually that ball ended up destroying the NE gun industry with demands for more and more and more anti-gun and anti-hunting demands.
I SUPPORT THAT.
