‘BERETTAS DON’T BLUFF’: MAJOR GUN COMPANY THREATENS TO LEAVE MARYLAND OVER NEW GUN CONTROL PROPOSALS

Maybe we need to start a list of the big companies who are leaving if the Gun Ban laws go into effect. I know there's close to a dozen that I've heard about at some point.

I hope they do leave. There are plenty of gun-friendly places with lower taxes, non-union labor, and non-communist politicians that would provide great incentives to set up shop.

Can you imagine such a company setting up operations in one of our local industrial parks? It would be great for jobs & the local economy!

Yep, they need to run that Federal Country Club Prison off from Saufley field, and turn that whole facility into an industrial park dedicated to nothing but guns, ammo, and accessories, along with a state of the art firing range available to the public or with membership. Lots of land north of there to expand to also.

Besides, that is only about 15 minutes from my house! :rockon:

Good, if these gun manufacturers left and stop selling to these states you'd see an attitude change.

I'm sure there would be attitude change. I hate to see a company leave in the face of what seems in this environment overwhelming legislative odds. I believe once gone though, each state would slam the door and not welcome back firearms related business. Do that 50 times and we're in trouble.

They should move to Ta-Has. With the "proper" tax incentives they would do well there. Perry is actively lobbying companies to move to his state.....I say...GO. While they are at it make sure to take all the Benelli stuff with them.

Maryland has always been a Democrap/Libral/Better than you state, from as far back as I can remember.Maryland ain't got nuttin' 'cept crabs and waterfowl hunting any-hoo. EFF 'EM. --- SAWMAN

All of them should move to Texas.

There is all kinds of things going on that doesn't make the news.

Elected officials from Alabama, South Carolina, Texas and West Virginia have written letters to Magpul Industries inviting the company to make their states its relocation destination. Meanwhile, individuals from at least 10 states have launched social media campaigns on Facebook to lure the Erie, Colo.-based company.

“We are a state whose people are committed to Second Amendment rights. You can be assured that the Alabama Legislature would never seriously consider any legislation that would jeopardize your company and your workers,” Alabama Agriculture Secretary John McMillan said in a letter dated Tuesday.

Won't happen here, our county has made it abundantly clear that they prefer a tourism based economy.

The Mississippi Governor is courting all of the gun mags to move to his gun friendly state.

This is huge. Beretta has a big foothold in the mil/leo market, commercial market is secondary to them. They really don't have to do anything and they will lose nothing. However, they care about 2nd A right enough to threaten to leave.

Now if we can get Colt on board.

Money talks... If anyone moves beyond threats, some change will have to occur within these states that are anti gun.
