New York State [where I attended the excellent public schools guided by the excellent [at the time] Board of Regents from 1956 to 1967] is LOST.
Past time to withdraw.
Sad for NY, Georgia’s gain.
Sorry that this had to happen. It is better for all of us and the 2nd Amendment if Blue States had at least some firearm manufacturers. At least some of the Blue State Representatives would have a vested interest in ensuring the jobs and taxes stayed in the Rep’s district.
Well said.
Uh . . . no. When the secession starts, we want them poorly armed, with no supply chain.
They are crazy to trust Georgia as well. The state is run by crooked Rino’s.
Not.
Well . . . you have a good point there.
+ 1 000 000 !
Canada has almost no volume firearms manufacturing capability - all imported.
Fine with me. Their side will have to start from zero just as our side will.
Sad! I wonder if the company offered encouragement to families that had worked for them for generations to follow them to Georgia.
Liberals always screw things up.
This isn’t grand-pappy’s New York State.
It has been destroyed by insane democrats, RINOs, racists and commie/socialist/globalists.
The politicians in blue states can see what leftist political-social-woke policies have done to places like California but they trudging along on that same path.
Here’s their website. I thought they had already moved so this story was surprising.
Beretta, Remington, Smith & Wesson, have all moved to Dixie.
Colt which is now owned by CZ and Ruger are about the only ones that are still based in New England. All the others have moved or are newer companies that were always based elsewhere.
People and businesses vote with their feet.
Time to protect states’ rights, so we all have choices.
One of the beautiful things about our Constitution.
Holy smokes! I looked at their website and they’re in LaGrange, GA.
Not far from where I once lived.
I took my kid to the water park (Great Wolf Lodge, nice place) there and wondered why everything seemed so busy and crowded. I knew Kia was there but not Remington.
That part of Georgia and Alabama (Columbus, West Point, Opeleika, Auburn) aren’t sleepy little southern towns like I used to know.
There are manufacturing plants everywhere now.
BTW that’s a good place to live/retire if anyone wants to move. Three hours to the beach, three hours to the mountains.
Remington hasn’t been Remington for many years, and their firearms have been crap for some time. Several years ago I was a sporting clays instructor and Remington 870 Express shotguns sucked so bad that with anything but premium ammo (which 870 owners don’t buy) the hulls stuck so bad you had to disassemble the gut yo get them out.
They once produced fine firearms. I have a 1909 Rolling Block #4 in .22 short that is as good as the best guns today.
