Wave Goodbye: The list of firearm manufacturers fleeing gun control states

[Missourian]

Amongst the companies that have chosen to relocate is Magpul Industries of Erie, Colo., a manufacturer of AR-15 parts, accessories and magazines.

Another refugee is Kahr Arms of Rockland County, N.Y. Following New York’s enactment of the so-called S.A.F.E. Act, Kahr announced that it would be moving some of its operations from the Empire State to more gun–friendly Pennsylvania.

PTR Industries, a maker of semiautomatic rifles in Bristol, Conn., has also chosen to move. In reaction to Connecticut’s recently enacted legislation, the company confirmed in June that it would be moving to Aynor, S.C. Similarly, fellow Connecticut gun maker Stag Arms and the Palmetto State have shown mutual interest.


Other manufacturers, such as Sturm, Ruger & Company and Beretta, have sought out firearm friendly states for their expansion plans, with Ruger opening a new plant in North Carolina. Even Remington, which has built firearms in Ilion, New York, for over 150 years, is reported to be looking to move part or all of that operation to a gun-friendly state.

In light of all these changes, Negri and fellow colleagues started the “Move to Missouri” initiative. The project will offer land, and potentially tax and legislation aid, to firearm manufacturers who make the move. The three pieces of land come with a no-charge lease for 20 years, in parcels of 6, 38 and 100 acres. The Missouri House of Representatives recently gave preliminary approval to a tax credit bill to help ease the financial strain for relocating companies.

... But Missouri isn’t the only state vying for gun manufacturers, the biggest contender being Texas.

Missouri. Not quite as stupid as Texas but we're trying.

Stupidty is thinking that banning law abiding citizens from owning firearms will somehow stop that gang banger from shooting up a street corner.

I love my Colt. Not Parkerized, but it is a classic... Cost more than $516.00 too...

I never brought-up the issue of gang-banging but, because you did, I'll have to disagree. Eventually, severe restrictions of the gun market will reduce the number of street corner shoot-ups. It's a economic certainty. As guns become more expensive, gang banger access to them will diminish.

Or people will start making them, as your ban will do nothing to decrease demand.

Bans have work soooo well for drugs.

An illegal market in guns would be much more difficult to operate than an illegal market in drugs. I will admit, however, that illicitly manufactured guns would find their way to purchasers. Just like all crime, we'd have to deal with the traffic.

 

[editec]

Well that would make sense, I suppose.

Can't blame them for leaving.

Not true. Look at how many people can create meth labs out of thin air, and making meth is complex chemistry. Machining a weapon requires more up front capital in equipment, but is far safer, and easier to hide.
