Remington Gun Factory in New York to Close Year After Sandy Hook Settlement

[Moonpie]

The town of Ilion will become a ghost town. Drive through a lot of towns that went to shit when the number one place of employment went away. Look at Gloversville when the tanneries had to shutdown. Glove making went overseas.

If I may rant a bit. You can thank the cheap shit Mr&Mrs USA for this.
Just tore them up to pay a buck more for USA made over cheap chinesium.
You can bet your a$$ Mr.BigUnionMan was down at MegaLo Mart spending his money.
Wal-Mart just got rich doing it.
I have no pity.

But next month, the doors will close and the last workers will be sent to the unemployment lines.
But they will be manufactured in Georgia from now on

Nope they are just moving out of the building and state.

I copied that directly from the article. And I stated they were moving to Georgia.

I'm sure most here know this, just like S&W left Massachusetts for Tennessee, Remington is gone from the only home it's ever had and bound for Georgia next month thanks to the rabid anti-firearm politicos in New York.

As much as I despise the state, I feel bad for the folks who worked there over generations and the folks who work there now. The economic damage this will do goes far beyond the lost jobs and salaries of the employees. I'd bet most of us either own or have owned one or more of their firearms made in their NY home. The company tried to stick it out, but in the end said when your polices are designed to put us out of business, we're gone. Good for them.

Maybe the short-sighted morons in charge will one day realize the errors in their way of thinking, but I doubt it. They have jobs and are living well sucking the public teat.

But eventually they run out of other people's money.
