Thank you Obama! They are expanding to add capacity. Demand for their handguns, shotiguns and assault rifles has exceeded what the exisitng Maryland plant can provide.

Obama has been the greatest firearms salesman of all time.

The New York State Governor said he wanted and needed more jobs to come to his state. Looks like this company was not in consideration after he told the world gun owners are not welcome. .. Long range outlook says they move everything to a state that upholds the 2nd..

If it was economical to start a gun manufacturing business in New York, I very much doubt a business owner would listen to a politician's rhetoric.

Newsflash, some people are not obsessed about what politicians say.

Several firearms manufactures hail from New York. Remington, Ithacagun, and Kimber to name a few. As mentioned, Baretta chose a gun friendly state and did not consider any that were not gun friendly

The northeast had previously been the site of nearly all gun manufacturing in the USA. The "Blue Dome" in Hartford is the former COLT Manufacturing plant. The dome was erected to solicit the business of the Imperial Russian Government in 1871 to select Colt handguns for its military. Nice try but S&W up the road in Springfield MA got the contract.

Samuel Colt was a promoter par-excellence but can come nowhere close to the sales figures generated by Barack Obama

Ha, I wa talking to a guy at work about this today. He said its a dream job for him and is going to apply once they start hiring. Not far from us. I think 300 or so jobs. I wished they had built here instead of tn, as we could use the jobs. Then we discussed various beretta hand guns and shotguns. He had some really good things to say about their shotguns.

We didn't talk about Obama though. You know, since it doesn't really tie in. Come to think of it, we didn't talk about leprechauns either. But then, we tend to discuss relevant facts to the subject matter at hand. An foreign concept for some.

Some people are superficial, others are analytical. I am pro choice.The more you know about a topic the more things become relevent to that topic. Its a learning experience.

Remington built a plant in Elizabethtown, an hour up the road from you. Factory, testing facility and service center. It is off 31W south of town. You can apply online.

That is true for most of us who laugh at the notion there is a conspiracy luring around every corner. I think it has to do with a mix of personal responsibility and a holistic understanding of the world around us, which prevents most rational individuals from attributing their fears, anxieties and short comings to the POTUS.

It is much easier to blame one's failures on Obama than to take a good look in the mirror.

So on whom should we blame the shortcomings (frequent lies) of the POTUS?
