Should Gunmakers Leave?

From a local Buffalo paper:

"Some gun owners have told the manufacturers they will no longer buy guns made in New York because of the new law."

I couldn't help but wonder if the Remmy M4 contract was to offset that loss...

I will not buy any products from companies who stay in states with anti 2nd amendment laws...and New york is at the top of my no buy list... I am a kimber man but i will no longer buy their products either...

This could hit the consumer as well ( we pay for the move) ill buy what I can afford but from my local dealer until he gets gouged!! Beyond my budget .

I'm sort of on the fence. Should they stay and fight instead? by withdrawing to friendly states only, it seems to me that over time the # of unfriendly states will just continue to grow as douches out of their couple of big cities will pass ludicrous laws that have no real effect on crime.

   Many gunmakers sign long term leases on land and buildings.   It would bankrupt many to try and move.

   While I don't personally like it, as a business man I can understand the economics.

Not buying products from companies that choose to stay (for whatever reasons) in states with repressive gun laws will be a great help to the anti-gunners, you are playing right into their hands. Think about it a little bit! How can you possibly believe that a company will choose to stay in a state because they support the repressive laws passed by the liberals in that state? Take a breath, and let's direct our wrath at the liberal voters and legislators that have been able to ram these idiotic laws down our throats because too many of us have been apathetic at the polls and completely inactive in the political battle. As much as I dislike politics, please join me in fighting the anti-gunners rather than heaping abuse on our own folks in the firearms industry who are caught up in a no-win situation. We have made some progress in Colorado with totally grassroots beginnings and vastly underfunded campaigns. IT CAN BE DONE FOLKS!!!
