Remington to leave NYS for Alabama

Union that works in the Ilion, NY plant says it is because of the S.A.F.E. Act....   Well, Bubba - actions have consequences.

The official Remington line is this is an expansion and will NOT affect production at the Ilion plant.

I suspect otherwise, at least over time.

As the unions had a good hand in putting Cuomo in governors seat and packed their legislature with democrats, I have no sympathy for them at all.  Perhaps in the future they'll see the wisdom in the old saying "You don't sh*t where you eat."

Speaking of "don't sh*t where you eat"  I wouldnt be surprised if the nanny-staters pretty much make it a felony in New York to wipe your a** with more than 7 squares of toilet paper... you know, just like they say you don't need more than 7 rounds in your magazine...

"Well-regulated" meant well equipped, trained and disciplined... not controlled with an iron fist.
