Remington Files for Bankruptcy

[Ben]

This is outrageous. I almost kinda want to now see auto manufacturers sued for accidents and drunk drivers, just because it would take a ginormous industry like that to fight back with an army of lawyers.

This is absolutely a dangerous precedent in a free society.

Lawsuits like this are a violation of the Protection of Lawful Commerce in Arms Act.

Shame on the judges for not throwing it out.

I seem to think that a lot in the last 10 years.

Remington closing almost 200 year old NY factory

A gun factory in upstate New York with a history stretching back to the 19th century is scheduled to close in March, according to a letter from the company to union officials.

RemArms, the current version of Remington Arms, will close its facility in the Mohawk Valley village of Ilion around March 4, according to the letter sent Thursday. The letter said the company "did not arrive at this decision lightly,” according to the Observer-Dispatch of Utica.

The plant currently employs about 270 workers, according to union officials.

Remington, the country’s oldest gun maker, began making flintlock rifles in the region in 1816. The factory site in the village dates to 1828, with many of the current buildings constructed early in the 20th century.

Sad, but I'm guessing New York State's political and regulatory environment played a key role.

We have friends who have family in New York City. They've visited several times so they're somewhat familiar. They went a couple months ago and said the business environment was bad, an unexpected number of closed storefronts and boarded up shops.
