I hope for Remington and the good folks who work at the Ilion plant that this will pan out as positive for all.

$80 million federal contract brings 'glimmer of hope'

Money is evil.. This is un-doing everything that the firearms community was fighting for..

they knew about getting the contract ... that's y nothing was really said or done on their part ... money is more important than liberty it seems ...

In Remington's defense, they are stuck between a rock and a hard place. They have a tradition there that dates back two centuries and they employ 1 for every 8 people that live in Ilion in the Mohawk Valley in N.Y. Moving the company elsewhere and telling everyone they're taking one on the chin for liberty would be a tough pill to deliver and for them to swallow. Laying everyone off up there would decimate the area, especially in a town which is just limping along.

Here is how i look at it, they said screw us we will continue to work with the gobernment and when civilians can no longer purchase guns we will still have the government as a customer. sold us out is what their doing..

They are no longer the "real" Remington anymore, nor should they be the culprit. They are Freedom Group; they are Cerberus. They are not about tradition. The Remington parent is cognizant of the Remington brand and its value, but in the end the firm are about making money.

that's how I look at it

 

They need to bounce from upstate New York and find a state that won't tax them as heavily and will appreciate their business. Because New York does NOT.

I feel the same way. Bounce let N.Y. Let N.Y. Loose that overly tax company's cash.

To heck with Remington. I'll by foreign before I buy Remington. They will do fine without my $$ I'm sure but they dont deserve my money just the same.

Here's my letter to them. Let them know how you feel at [email protected]

 

To Whom It May Concern,

I am writing to express my disappointment in your decision to continue investing in a state that has shown such contempt for our second amendment rights. While it may seem like a good business decision in the short run, I can assure you it will be a poor decision in the long run. By collaborating with the Cuomo regime, you embolden him to continue his anti-gun agenda and embolden other state to follow his lead. Today, you will be unable to sell your R15s and R25s in NY. Tomorrow it will be your 750s, and it will be in other states as well.

In the mean time, you have lost a large chunk of your customer base. My next shotgun will be made by Benelli.

Sincerely,
