Just saw this on Fox! Sorry if Dupe, couldn't find it anywhere else:

Connecticut Governor Malloy wants (amongst other things) a gun offender registry. Hmmm........I guess they don't call that prison anymore?

WTF is wrong with these people?

 

[BlackBart]

Good, hope they go south...... to a non union state maybe put their factory right next to Boeings.

I'll never understand why Colt, Stag, Ruger, Remington, Kimber, etc... stays where they are. It's insane that a company would volunterily stay in such a hostile business environment to the products they make.

 

[Broder]

In the long run I think Colt relocating to a free state would be best for all us. I still feel bad for the company, employees, and state. I suppose it's like going through a divorce when there is that much history involved.

Until teleporter technology is perfected, it's a non-trivial matter to move a factory. Need new workers trained. The business people need to be moved and/or replaced.

And judging by Star Trek, teleporter tech is still flakey 300 years from now.

They've been there 170 years, they are part of the history of CT. Magpul's move was easy, they've been there for what, 10? It takes a lot to uproot that much history from what has been your home for generations.

I'm glad to see that they are growing some balls though. I think all the support they are seeing from the police loophole group has given them a lot of encouragement.

Maybe if Beretta doesn't take up West Virginia's offer Colt will.

 

[Sharpeneddark]

Maybe these states will learn. But, more than likely, they don't care. They'll just raise the taxes to compensate for the loss.

 

[Phil I Am]

They should all move to Mexico screw the entire country of libtards.

And screw the American workers at the same time? Not every state is anti-gun. We need more manufacturing in the US, not less.

Maryland has a history of fvcking the taxpayers and giving free shit to the slugs. Changing history isn't always a bad thing. Colt went bankrupt once before because of union demands.... history repeating itself? I dunno.

 

[wreckdiver]

I really hope they do. If all the big name makers packed up and moved it would be an awesome display of FU to the states that restrict us/them. Freedom isn't free.

ignore me. I am just frustrated and pissed.

 

[4runner99]

I would be surprised if Colt left CT

Even more likely they're intentionally driving them out to weed out the gun culture.

I think Colt and Beretta know (or will know) that their bread and butter is CIVILIAN SALES. If either stay, they will lose market share.
