Do you, as an individual, ask people to buy things from you for your livelihood?

My ex (now deceased) Mother in Law was the only smoker in her family, (Husband, 2boys, 1 girl) and my ex wife was strictly anti smoking BUT married me despite my smoking 3 plus packs of Regular Camels a day.
Her younger brother could probably be ‘accused’ of being a 60’s idealist, anti smoking, (don’t know and didn’t care his stance on drugs), anti drinking, anti military, anti Vietnam War, so - as you can see- we had a lot in common. <: <:

Anyway after much searching he found a job in the early to mid 70’s being a Rep for R J Reynolds and part of his job was to distribute the 3 or 4 pack samples of their different products.
I may have been a ‘drunk’ and one of those ‘nasty smokers’ but I did have integrity and continually asked how, in good conscience, could her brother profit from the nasty tobacco companies...the stock answer from him and her was - Well, I needed a job, I told him that with his ‘moral turpitude’ he may as well be standing on the corner selling drugs, given the way he was so anti smoking.
Guess the fact they both were/are New England Libs has something to do with it.

If they manufacture a gun that is illegal in New York, then wouldn’t it be a violation of both State and Federal Law to ship it to a state where it is legal? And wouldn’t everyone at the plant who touches the gun while it is in New York be subject to felony prosecution for possession of an illegal firearm?

I'm real sure the hypocrites will write the law so that they can keep producing and shipping guns. They just don't want you to have one.

Which means that their objective is to get rid of the customers of their manufacturers, which will then cause Remington to go out of business. Which is why Remington is stupid not to leave.

“Will you do business with Remington following this announcement?”

Probably not. Remington, by remaining in enemy territory, and essentially electing to live off government contracts, has chosen the side of evil.

“What about other Freedom Group companies?”
Depends on what they choose.

They say this NOW and they believe it NOW and it is true NOW, but when their competitors open shop in no tax states and thus gain a pricing edge that determination will melt away - bank on it.

The choice for Remington may be to stay or go bankrupt.

The irony is that they may go bankrupt because they stayed.
