Cuomo: Remington moving had nothing to do with NY gun law
Rather funny. Remington decides to move its AR-15-making operations to Alabama, and with it 2,000 jobs. Cuomo's reaction:
"We have been talking to Remington about rehabbing and redoing their facility in New York. It is a very important part of New York. It is a big employer in New York. Their plant here is old and we want to work with them on restoring that."
So these rifles are just killing machines, that do not belong in civilian hands, but please manufacture them here, we'll be happy to help?

Ah, yes. The Big Lie strategy.
An oldie, but a goodie.
So New York could not come up with a package to help an existing company stay??
Their incentive package had to be incredibly bad if it couldn't beat the cost of moving production to another state !!!
How screwed up does it have to be if they are willing to SPEND $100 million dollars instead of staying.
We wanted to profit from the murder of children in other states, by amending our magazine restriction bill so that Magpul could keep making them in Colorado for sale in other states.
But those ungrateful bastards decided to go to Wyoming.
Only part of the reason, taxes and energy costs were probably more of a factor than anything else.
the "new New York".. And they have the gall to advertise on FoxNews... Too funny and pathetic at the same time.. Add as many empty, broken glass brick manufacturing buildings to the Peoples Republic of NY as possible.
Don't forget right to work laws - which don't exist in the south AFAIK.
New York has the Nanoscale Center at SUNY Albany which would be the envy of many states. And I think Schumer had something to do with its creation.
As a NYS resident I'm too disgusted to say much about Prinz Andy. Also:
My past anti-Cuomo rants produced a highly waxed, black Lexus SUV with blacked out windows parked down from my house.
