I applaud LaRue and Olympic for their decisions. Same for Magpul, if they move out of Colorado. We need actions that will really hurt the states that act so irresponsibly. One. Let's see some big companies--Glock and Sig, for example--to follow the lead of LaRue and Olympic, and stop sales to law enforcement in those states. Then we need big boys to pull out of NY, CA, CT, and IL. If Freedom Group moved their Remington, Bushmaster et al out of NY, the loss of jobs and tax revenue would allow NY to show its real commitment to stupid gun laws.
Springfield Armory bailing on Illinois along with Hi-Point, Colt and Mossberg leaving Connecticut...now that would get someone's attention. Even our left wing so-called mainstream press couldn't ignore the reality of thousands of jobs going south. TX governor Rick Perry just made a "move your company to Texas to save taxes" campaign trip to California. Time for the same to the rust belt. Plus, Texas is a right to work state, so those companies could save on labor costs. Surely Colt management remembers that the union almost put them out of business twice over the years. How about a little payback?
