Leaving gun grabbing New York.
Just as New Yorkers are fleeing to Georgia and turning it into a blue state.
Didn’t think this one through very well did they?
But to some extent it exposes a common issue. We are running out of places to “run and hide” because nobody actually fights, they just run and hide.
Leaving gun grabbing New York.”
It’s about time.
What took them so long? There shouldn’t be a single firearms company in the Northeast.
Direct result of Hochul and the NY ‘Rats.
Current facility in Ilion, NY at 14 Hoefler Ave., Ilion, NY
Gigantic facility - 10,000 sq. ft. A WHOLE lot of lost tax revenue for that city. Lots more info in Epoch Times 12/27/23-1/2/24
*We are running out of places to “run and hide” because nobody actually fights, they just run and hide.*
Made America great. The tired, poor-and the afraid.
I can’t believe the people of New York and California continue to put up with the inept politicians running these states by re-electing them time and time again. Might as well include Chicago in that too.
gun grabber for sure but it is about the $15 min wage in NY with a $.50 increase each of the next two years.
This region is exactly the areas where the politicians care little about. Rural where the once might industrial areas have long moved away.

Upstate doesn’t. We have Dominion “selecting” our “representatives…”
Many companies move very slowly on big decisions.
That is why states like CA and NY are going to be seeing companies fleeing for many years in the future—based on horrible state actions that have already happened.
A ten year lag time is not that uncommon.
A lot of houses in my neighborhood are 10,000 sq ft.
“Gigantic facility - 10,000 sq. ft.”.
I believe it is 1 Million Sq. Ft.
10,000 sq ft is about the size of 5 or 6 regular homes.
I sure wish they would have moved to Kansas. Good jobs for us and we’re a gun friendly state.
Smith and Wesson also moved to a $100 million plant bringing 856 jobs to Georgia.
