The anger and contempt liberals have for other Americans, is simply astounding. Colt should move elsewhere, and take their Tax dollars with them.

Colt Manufacturing is considering leaving the state of Connecticut after being thrust into the limelight in the national debate over gun control and the Second Amendment.
Dennis Veilleux, president and CEO of Colt, said that the pro-gun control climate that has emerged from the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting has made it difficult to do business in the state of Connecticut, and that the company doesnt feel welcome despite doing business there for 175 years.
Particularly, proposed legislation by Governor Dannel Malloy has made Colt feel estranged from Connecticut. Such legislation includes a new gun offender registry, an expanded assault weapons ban, ammunition restrictions, and a ban on the purchase of handguns in bulk.
At some point, if you cant sell your products then you cant run your business, Veilleux told Fox News. You need customers to buy your products to stay in business.
Colt employs roughly 700 workers in Connecticut, and Veilleux wrote in a recent op-ed that he has only considered pulling operations in the state. There are no definite plans to do so, he wrote, but if Malloys legislation targeting AR-15 rifles goes through, leaving will be a more realistic option, The AR-15 is the centerpiece of Colts business.
If Colt does leave, its not without options. Several red state governors have approached Veilleux to relocate, envious of the estimated $1.7 billion in annual contribution to Connecticuts economy.......

Colt should move to New Hampshire. It's a short relocation and a very pro freedom state. No income tax.
