Gun-friendly states attempting to lure Remington from New York
Posted By Will Rahn On 5:29 PM 01/30/2013 @ 5:29 PM


Remington, a New York-based gun and ammunition manufacturer, may soon decide to leave the Empire State in response to Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s strict new gun control law.

Lawmakers from gun-friendly South Carolina, Michigan, Arizona and Oklahoma are all encouraging Remington to relocate, the local news site Innovation Trail reports. Representatives from all four states have sent letters to Freedom Group, Remington’s owner.

“The enemies of freedom are waging an all-out assault on the Second Amendment to the Constitution which we have sworn to protect and defend,” South Carolina Rep. Jeff Duncan wrote in a letter to Freedom Group’s CEO. “At a time when our government is consistently thwarting the ability of individuals to own businesses, voluntarily trade goods and services, and grown our economy, South Carolina is committed to writing a different story.”

“In South Carolina, we believe in the right to keep and bear arms,” the letter continued.

On Jan. 15, Cuomo signed a regulatory package he called the “toughest gun control laws in the nation.” In response to the overtures from other states that came in the wake of that legislation, Remington told the local Utica Observer Dispatch last week that it is now “carefully examining its options” concerning relocation.http://dailycaller.com/2013/01/30/gun-friendly-states-attempting-to-lure-remington-from-new-york/

"The the toughest gun laws in the country"...
What does NY get for having "the toughest gun laws?

States with the most restrictive laws, including Connecticut and California, have lower rates
of gun-related deaths, while states with few limits on firearms have the highest rates.

In 2009 and 2010, California had the nation's strongest gun controls and the ninth-lowest rate of
gun deaths.
Connecticut had the fourth-strongest gun laws and was sixth-lowest in gun deaths...
Hawaii ranked fifth in gun control and had the lowest death rate...
Alaska, Louisiana and Montana all with lax gun regulations,  had the highest rates of deaths caused
by gunfire, more than double California's rate.

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral
philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
