Yeah! Let’s shut down American manufacturing cause we don’t like a geographical location!

Too bad production moving to Alabama and not Oklahoma. That’s one toxic environment in these DEEP blue state. They want guns gone? Ok, you got your wish

Unfortunately, like we have seen all too often in New York, burdensome regulations, crippling taxes and problematic energy and other policies continue to force businesses and companies to flee the state

Closing it only 5 years from it's 200 year anniversary?

They should have kept it open - just to be able to advertise over 200 years continuous manufacturing.

Actually, they had to. The state taxation and anti-gun sentiment in NY forced them to move.
The dumba$$es in the legislature that kept making it harder and less profitable to produce firearms in New York drove that decision along with the facility that was outdated and almost impossible to upgrade by its design without a huge investment.
NY in their dumb decision to control firearms have now lost thousands of employees that gave them tax money, and supported that city for decades.
I hope they are happy with their decision to destroy Ilion as a community.
