I don't get it. If you make guns, it would make more sense to be in Texas or Oklahoma as opposed to say, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, California etc. yet it seems like most gun manufacturers are based in those shitholes.
They give them better tax incentives in some cases.
In a lot of instances, the people that make the decisions to keep, or move to different locations around the country are swayed by the meetings with the local/state reps.
What happens under the table, I don't know. I would hope everything is above the table.
Some of them are leaving...

Not to hijack the thread, but processes like brewing and distilling can often be more tied to a water source than most people realize. Given modern chemistry, that could probably be replicated, but early on it would have been more difficult to match the mineral content perfectly after a move. If you like beer, then you'll probably have heard about certain places or regions being known for a type of beer (stout vs IPA, etc). This often was a result of the water available.Kinda on The same line, but isn't jack daniels distilled in a dry county?
