Didn't Herr Cuomo basically say firearm folks weren't welcome in the Empire State?
Guess Remington took their ball and went elsewhere.
Good news, but I don't think it's nearly the economic f'you to NY that some are making it out to be.
$87 million sounds like a lot, but it's pocket change in the grand scheme of things. NYC alone grosses way over $1 trillion. They won't care about the lost potential income from the additional factory at all, and they probably won't even blink an eye if Remington decides to pull completely out of NY.

Agree. Losing 1,800 jobs would be a hit to that part of the State and one that would be hard to spin just by blaming gun-lovin' abortion-hatin' evil conservatives. Those 1800 people fuel a lot of other small business in the area so the penumbra effect could be really significant.
Will it shut down NY? No. But I don't know any Governor who'd casually see an 1800-person company leave a small town in his state.
