98Z5V Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 Yes, jobs lost to MD, but jobs created someplace else. Someplace a little more 2A friendly.Glass half-full kinda view on it, the way I see it. <thumbsup>
seasprite Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 They wouldn't pull out of the US altogether would they? <dontknow>Its a shame this government is all about ruining people's lives in stead of serving the people.
98Z5V Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 I highly doubt it. Doing that would place them into an "importer" status, which would put them into a whole new class of rules and regulations.
BLKSHEEP Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 Beretta may be the biggest but not the only one in MD, I know LWRC is there...anyone have a list of weapons mfg. based in MD.?http://www.foxnews.com/politics/2013/02/23/texas-mississippi-invite-gun-makers-to-move-to-state/
imschur Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 Did you guys see my asshole senator Blumenthals response to the Mississippi invite?http://www.blumenthal.senate.gov/newsroom/press/release/blumenthal-issues-statement-in-response-to-mississippi-legislators-call-for-gun-manufacturers-to-move-out-of-connecticutCT is the asshole of the nation and it has Hemorroids really bad.
edgecrusher Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Posted February 24, 2013 How can he lie so blatantly and expect anyone to believe that rubbish? Sorry Drew, good bye Colt. (They already started a facility in Florida, no?)
imschur Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 At xmas time he sent an email to CT residents about gun control. Im certain my reply calling him out got me on a list... I told him I could almost excuse the other politicians as being ignorant about guns but him being a Vietnam Vet knows there is a difference between an AR15 and M16. I pretty much called him a liar.They say were are supposed to be polite in our correspondence to politicians. I'm done with that. I want them to know im PISSED OFF.
imschur Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 How can he lie so blatantly and expect anyone to believe that rubbish? Sorry Drew, good bye Colt. (They already started a facility in Florida, no?)Yep...I said from day 1 they were working on their exit plan.
StainTrain Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 The measures that the left keep throwing up are far from "common sense". Colt and Beretta are welcomed in the South...as well as Magpul ;D
unforgiven Posted February 24, 2013 Report Posted February 24, 2013 What a fuckhead. :ugone2far: and jackoff
Rsquared Posted February 25, 2013 Report Posted February 25, 2013 Yeah, I've been expecting this from Beretta. I don't blame them. I would expect LWRC and Fulton to probably plan on a egress plan from this rights-crushing state. Maryland.....the free state.......my ass.
Robocop1051 Posted February 25, 2013 Report Posted February 25, 2013 I honestly wouldn't be surprised to see more small offices popping up as "Corporate Headquarters" and manufacturing to be moved to South America. I have a few friends in northern and central Brazil who rave about the growth they have made in the last few years. Oil, Steel and Lithium are enormous resources being extracted at accelerated rates down there. Not to mention that Taurus/Rossi is already proving that mass manufacturing can be successful.I say we all plan a field trip to Brazil to explore our options...Besides, if you had a company that you had to move... Where would you choose to move to?
unforgiven Posted February 25, 2013 Report Posted February 25, 2013 Bacon,bacon,bacon,bacon <lmao> <laughs>
98Z5V Posted February 25, 2013 Report Posted February 25, 2013 I think Rob brings up very valid points here. <thumbsup>
Matt.Cross Posted February 25, 2013 Report Posted February 25, 2013 I think Rob brings up very valid points here. <thumbsup>Rob posted something in addition to the picture? :o
98Z5V Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 The second picture was the one filled with all the valid points... ;D
BLKSHEEP Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 Yep...I said from day 1 they were working on their exit plan. Florida?....damn that doesn't seem very wise. :cookoo: The way I see it Florida is rapidly becoming a solid bule state, Northern & East coast Democraps with $$ have been relocating there for years and with the Cuban expansion,Floridas gone! :'( Remember Romney & Allen West ....
Robocop1051 Posted February 26, 2013 Report Posted February 26, 2013 I know I joked earlier, but Miami FL is the Mecca for the offices of Brazilian manufacturers. Don't say I didn't warn y'all. It's kinda scarey when you think about Taurus/Rossi putting a bid on Freedom Group too.
