It's the trickle down effect that really hits everyone hard. You start with Colt moving. From there, every store, gas station, restaurant, mini mart, apt. complex, movie theater, etc, etc, etc in the immediate area feels the pinch because of lost sales because there is no longer the worker or their family to use their services.

When Ft Polk moved from Leesville, La. to Ft Hood, Tx. in '93, Leesville damn near went bankrupt. I know, I was one of the last to leave Ft. Polk. It wasn't until a reserve unit from Arkansas moved in a year later that the area started to recover.

Stoopid azz politicians, never think ahead!
You have to understand this has never been a rational argument for them. It has, as close as i can put it, a religious crusade. More like a statist/marxist crusade. The fall out effects are irrelevant if the goal is achieved. PLAIN AND SIMPLE. The ends Justify the Means.

And THAT my friends is why this all needs to stop! Elections are coming up in 2014, at that point it's time to cull the heard, hit them with all this info. make them hurt in their pocket books trying to defend losing businesses, raising unemployment, etc. Other than that, at some point more positive actions will occur it may start small or start as it did in 1776 but it will start.

You are correct...to put it mildly and simple, that sucks!

Good. I hope every company making guns or gun-related items of any kind takes their jobs and tax revenues to gun-friendly states. Any state government stupid enough to whiz away good middle-class manufacturing jobs in this business climate should go bankrupt.

You watch, O'butthead will try and prop up those states that lose gun manufacturing jobs and try and spin it so it looks like the states kicked them out... I can already smell this turd bake comming!

Cannot understand why firearms manufacturers and suppliers remain in states where they are not wanted.

With the draconian laws being passed in several states there are states including my home state of Alabama who would welcome them with open arms and give them tax incentives to relocate here.

That's cool...would've preferred Missouri, but Texas is a good choice! What do you think and (and others from Texas I may have missed)?

Gentlemen, the same state (The Constipation State, because it is full of SH*T) can enact laws that violate the US Constitution at the same time that it advocates legislation to award Drivers Licenses to undocumented immigrants so they can drive legally. And many of them need to drive to the places that they get the free food, housing, and medical care that I have to pay for.

WTF Happened?
