Some good news! It's kind of ironic how many firerarms manufacturers are based in very gun-unfriendly places.

They needed to modernize anyway so it makes sense to move to a place where the local governments pay them instead of expecting taxes. Another case of socialism for the wealthy and free market for everyone else.

The N.E is full of empty manufacturing places where the unions drove the companies out.

Take a look at this chart. If you like this 40-year trend, then keep applauding when companies do end-arounds on their unionised workers .

Indeed. It is wasteful and inefficient the offshoring of American labor. Slavery is politically unacceptable. Socially engineered union busting is the only way forward to low labor costs for the 1%. Don't you dare cry here when you are making no wage at all in lieu of a "living allowance".

Time for the progressives to find out that they can only push so much and far. Good for Colt!
