This is something interesting I've come across with my own research is that virtually every major firearms manufacture company, is based out of democratic states.

Colt: Connecticut
Smith & Wesson: Massachusetts
Mossberg: Connecticut
Springfield Armory: Illinois
Olympic: Washington State
Armalite: Illinois
Charter: Connecticut
Sig Sauer US: New Hampshire
Kahr Arms: New York
Savage: Massachusetts
Kimber: New York
Magnum Research: Minnesota
Ruger: Connecticut
FNH US: Virginia


This is quite funny that the gun nutters, whom also are mainly right wingers are supporting companies, especially from their freakout buying earlier in this year that bankrolled the democratic states where there companies are based.

If democratic states are so bad for business which the far right often claims, why are virtually all gun manufactures based in them? This seems like quite a slap in the face for the right wingers that think nothing says "Merica'" like owning a gun and voting GOP

I noticed that you conveniently forgot to mention that many of them are looking to leave CT and MA... and have been in active discussions with states like TX.

Not to mention that many gun control advocates aren't looking to do away with guns, but rather they want to hold gun owners accountable for their weapons, ammunition, etc.; reduce the chances that the mentally unstable have guns; and reduce the damage the mentally unstable can wreak with guns by limiting guns in personal possession outside of state militia training and operations to those appropriate for personal protection.

But the OP was a creative attempt to launch a partisan attack based on ridiculously faulty premises.

Just like 99.9 percent of your posts this one has no substance.
It's quite funny you think it does.

Liberal states are supply the means for conservatives to shoot each other in violent rages.

There is a lot of money in feeding delusions of "special ops prowess" to the susceptible just as there is in feeding "fair and balanced" fear to them.

i will note that most of the firearms manufacturers you listed are very old companies, and when they were founded the states were at the time conservative. and the ones that are not as old, kimber for instance, was founded at a time when the state, though liberal, was still a sensible state with sensible laws.

as for the european gun imports, i will again note that those manufacturers are generally very old companies, some going back as far as the late 1600s, also again when these countries had sensible laws, and governments.
