Legendary gun maker Smith and Wesson has now announced that it will be fleeing its home state of Massachusetts for Tennessee over legislation that would prevent the manufacture of many popular firearms.
As Fox Business reports:
The legislation, if enacted, would prevent Smith & Wesson from manufacturing products that accounted for more than 60% of its revenue last year.
“These bills would prevent Smith & Wesson from manufacturing firearms that are legal in almost every state in America and that are safely used by tens of millions of law-abiding citizens every day exercising their Constitutional 2nd Amendment rights,” Smith & Wesson CEO Mark Smith said in a statement.
Smith & Wesson has been located in Springfield, Massachusetts, since being incorporated in 1852. That facility will remain operational, but others in Connecticut and Missouri will close as part of the consolidation.
Upward of 750 jobs will move from those facilities to the new headquarters in Maryville, Tennessee. Employees who cannot make the move will be offered enhanced severance and job placement services.
How much economic pain can Liberal states take in their quest to take away Americans’ Constitutional rights?
Hooray for S&W!!!!!! Get out of socialist/CATHOLIC states and move to AMERICAN states.
Did the demonrat priest that molested you move to a different parish or did he stay at your parish and only change his name . . . . .
C’ mon, vlad, RAISE Yourself up a little, fella
The sidestep march. Look at the sidestep march. sidestep, divert, pivot to the dogma, then do a caustic offtrack. yep, you are just one more CATHOLIC T
I’m a 72 year old Catholic and all I can say is F U very much.
Come on Richard ! Your really up in age now and need to stop that kind of language if you want to visit the devel in hell.
Can’t spell Devil correctly but hang in there he may spell your name correctly after he takes your Catholic hating soul.
Are you proud of your Pope ? You know he really isn’t a Pope , he only holds the Title .
The communism can easily spread to other states. The commiecrats needs to be completely destroyed
Hooray for S&W. The AMERICANS will need the guns for the ILLEGAL ALIEN CATHOLIC INVASION that is going on now. Critical mass is close! Biden, CATHOLIC traitor will keep the flood of ILLEGAL ALIEN CATHOLIC INVADERS coming and coming and coming. Vote accordingly.
Keep on eating your globalist pills sofie and maybe one day something will sprout and you can stop to “imagine” alfie .
Catholics point fingers and sidestep! Name one State school district that hid pedos behind Vatican walls. Your CATHOLIC cult did. Name a school district that provides FREE pedo defense lawyers. Your CATHOLIC cult does. Name any school district that has spent BILLIONS covering up pedos. Your CATHOLIC cult has. Name a school district that has a 1700 year record of abusing children. Your CATHOLIC cult does. Named a school district with a history of buying silence from victims. Your CATHOLIC cult does. All CATH0liCS are TRAITORS.
What’s it all about…………Alfie did your uncle touch your pee pee…..oh what’s it all about Alfie…did the Moile bite too hard…..ohhhhhh Alfie. Dude get back on the meds!
Get back on your meds, you are very sick puppy.
The absolute Truth does hurt so many .
Guys, guys, guys. Enough. Who cares about religion as part of this topic? Focus on the issue. This is not about Catholics against pagans, or jewish, or muslim (well maybe muslim). As they said in the movie “The Right Stuff” – “This ain’t about pu88sy. This is about monkey.” This is about our 2nd Amendment rights and it is us against the Commies/Socialists/Fascists/Radical Muslims and the Democrats. Band and stand together. It is us against them.
Now being flooded with Haitians and Afghanistan invaders …. We will need those guns to protect or families and property from criminals coming over the border in droves ! Buy ammo and guns… locked and loaded ! If you think these people are the cream of the crop….. think again !
Perfect Democrat Voters , that’s the whole goal .
Thata boy “S&W!!!”
The People’s Republic of Clam Chowder has lost another business. Good for Smith & Wesson.
Good for them!!! Come to TEXAS!
Perhaps I missed something…but, it appeared to me that the article said that the facility in Mass. would remain operational, but facilities in Conn. and Missouri would be closing. So…how is this hurting Massachusetts? It *does* appear, however, to be hurting Missouri, which is generally pro-second amendment. Also, it would seem the title of this piece, “Smith and Wesson Announces Plan to Move Factory Out of Massachusetts Over Gun Control Legislation”, is false…*if* the statement regarding the continuing operation of the Mass. facility is correct. So…if that’s the case…this article was basically meaningless.
As meaningless as the libby snow flake sheep, moderators . . . . .
We’ll have to SEE just WHAT transpires, but pulling Headquarters OUT of Pocohontas Land is TERRIFIC! California gets all the bashing, but the Eastern Seaboard is EVERY BIT AS SICK.
While the Pacific can have California, let the Atlantic devour Kennedy Lib Land.
You’re showing your liberal leaning. Just like a typical liberal—going half-way on anything and everything. You should close all business holdings/dealings in Mass. When you “pick and choose” they win after all! Just divorce yourself from the state and refuse to do any business in the state; however, give everyone “fair warning” so everyone will know what’s going to happen, when it’s going to happen, and why. Stand firm and stay the course! From the article, the “real” losers are MO. and Conn.; NOT Mass.—like I said—doing things half-way while some other State suffers the most! Pull your head out and get on with it!
Well done, move to a state that will accept and appreciate the millions of taxes S&W pays a year in taxes .
Weatherby gun HQ factory and branded ammo is moving from California to Wyoming. Yes liberals, people and businesses are voting with their feet.
Allow all the globalist puppet, hollyweirdos and napa valley to financially support all their libby snow flake sheep collecting welfare all their life .
We need This to become a Exodusdemic!
EXCELLENT, COME ON OUT TO ARIZONA WHERE THE FOLKS BELIEVE IN FREEDOM FOR EVERY ONE AS THE CONSTITUTION CALLS FOR! THE MORE BIG BUSINESS HERE THE LESS TAX FOR THE FOLKS!
GREAT!!! But now DO it! And DON’T keep ANYTHING there! MAKE THE MOVE COMPLETE!
_____ these SICKER THAN SHIT LIBERALS!!!
SICKER THAN SHIT CATHOLIC LIBERAL/SOCIALISTS!!!
ANY way you can pull the rug out from under WACKO LIBERALS is Certainly a step in the Right direction. Let it be CONTAGIOUS!
ANY way you can pull the rug out from under WACKO CATHOLIC/SOCIALIST/LIBERALS is Certainly a step in the Right direction.
Good move, making guns for patriots is better than begging Communists for permission to do so! S&W and their employees will pay less taxes too!
S&W – Welcome to TN. We already have Troy
We will need arms manufacturers in the upcoming civil war… Just saying…
Reeeeeeeal Good Chance of it
My sainted Mother’s ancestors set down in Massachusetts some 350 years ago. They must be spinning in their graves, so ashamed of what Massachusetts has become TODAY and long before today.
I’m the 15th Generation of Elder Brewster who came over on the Mayflower. When I last visited my family’s original stompin’ grounds, I attended a Congregational church built in 1726 that John Adams frequented in the later 1700’s. They have to ALL be spinning’ at RPM’s n’er before seen.
UNBELIEVABLE!
Pocahontas Warren is Now the East Coast’s definition of a “governing official“.🤮🤮🤮🤮
Ideas for TN plant:
Gun Range
Hogans Alley
Moonshine Bar
Hillbilly diner
Moonshine car chase area
Distillary?
Plant tours for guests
S & W……….move to Texas..! You will be welcomed with open arms…! (forgive the pun ok..)
moving should be followed with a refusal to sell/ship to massachewsies, even for law enforcement use
