Thanks george76.
I think Bushmaster does some .gov contracts, and we all know that HK and Glock does too. It’s actually a little difficult to get an HK because aside from the waiting because of the importing bullshit, you have to get in line behind the government. At least that’s how it was 15 years or so ago when I got my USP .45 Tactical(my favorite handgun). I think the biggest .gov manufacturers are Glock, HK, Colt, Sig, FN, Bushmaster, and maybe Beretta still.
Though Beretta makes some OUTSTANDING handguns, I believe they have fallen out of favor over the years. I’ve had a 92FS(M9)for YEARS and the thing has NEVER malfunctioned on me, using all sorts of cheap ammo and magazines. It also feels GREAT in the hand. Well balanced, easy to aim, and shoot - out of the box. Only drawback is the 9mm round. It won’t knock a drug/adrenaline crazed or large person on their ass. That’s why I like a .45 - no matter what kind of person you’re dealing with, if their hit, by force they WILL change direction. (that’s what I want)

People who work in brick and mortar factories are ill educated, smelly, sweaty, and crude semi humans.....I rember 3-5 years ago some lib on the radio saying coal miners WANT the government to shut coal down so they could work in clean, safe, convivial factories that make solar panels and windmills. I choked and almost shiite myself. Coal miners are a FAMILY working the same way their granpas, daddies, uncles, brothers have done for hundreds years. Besides, it’s now mostly ‘long wall’ and the hazards are greatly gone. Libs have no cognizance of reality.
Just another murder of a major employer in New York State by the Governor. Probably one of the biggest in the area.
Shame on these guys closing plants sorely needed
“This is the same NY State that runs TV advertisements trying to induce new businesses to relocate by giving them a 10-year tax holiday.”
Driving existing businesses that pays taxes away, in favor of new businesses that pays no taxes?
On strictly fiscal basis, that is not serving the residents and taxpayers well, at all.
I really like the idea that the firearms factories will be located in states that trend towards more liberty.
When the SHTF, the pro-fascist states won’t have many armories.
The only way to preserve traditional American constitutionalism is for the aggregation of like minded conservatives into the free states.
Same thing here in PA with filthadelphia, western MD and b’more.

What’s the loss of 105 citizen jobs compared to the fact cuomo will not lose his?
Sad, but not unexpected. Both of my parents worked at Remington Arms during WWII. Alabama is a much friendlier environment for them these days.
Oops .. did not realize it was so small.
Last winter we went to Niagara Falls.
Great time to go as few touristas then.
Talked extensively with a tour guide at Fort Niagara who told me the whole Buffalo area was at one time the industrial center of America.
Lost it all due to Unions.

Lots of freedom lovers are leaving communist states
“Illinois could lose East St. Louis too.”
But ESL has no influence at all in the state, though I’d like to see it become part of Missouri. Chicago dominates the state, and its cancer affects all of us.
>> “California has the same problem” <<
.
Yep!
Just lost Elon Musk’s battery plant to Reno.
The reality is Conservative will never organize to punish the OEM’s for supporting Liberal Governments in MD, CA, NY, MA, etc...
The power is in the consumers hands and in this segment of the market it is the Conservative that buys firearms and ammunition... but we are too nice and thoughtful to really make SIG, Remington and others to yeild to our demands.
We would rather sit back, watch and complain on the internet!
