Gun Manufactures Consider Moving out of Liberal States
[‘Berettas
Don’t Bluff’: Major Gun Company Threatens to Leave Maryland Over New Gun Control
Proposals by Erica Ritz] "Beretta USA is threatening to leave Maryland over new
gun control proposals, the Washington Post reports, and they would take hundreds
of jobs along with them.
“Why expand in a place where the people who built the gun couldn’t buy it?”
Jeffrey Reh, general counsel for Beretta, asked.
The Washington Post explains:
'Beretta, the nearly 500-year-old family-owned company that made one of James
Bond’s firearms, has already invested more than $1 million in the [civilian
version of a machine gun designed for special operations forces] and has planned

I don't fault these manufacturers for considering moving or going out of
business altogether. Beretta is an excellent company. I hope they survive and I
hope they regroup in Texas
or another state. I--and four other people
--would welcome them in Colorado as well.
[PureX quote: And dope dealers would consider leaving the states with the toughest anti-drug laws. So what?] "Excellent analogy PureX. A single mother that protects her child and herself by owning a gun should be compared to a crackhead."
Response to comment [from a Christian]: "Wouldn't it be awesome to live in a state where you can have a gun to protect yourself from criminals and have strong drug laws so those kinds of criminals don't want to be there either?!"
