…and now Smith and Wesson. They have all departed from firearms restrictive states, and moved their companies to friendlier climes. I recall Beretta the most vividly; how they were welcomed with open arms and tax breaks in Tennessee, all at the cost of well paying Maryland jobs.<\/p>\n

Self-inflicted wounds hurt the most. Poetrooper sends.<\/p>\n

Smith & Wesson Moving HQ From Massachusetts To Tennessee<\/h3>\n

By Cam Edwards<\/strong><\/p>\n

From the mid-19th century to today, many U.S gunmakers have called New England home. Storied brands like Colt, Winchester, and Smith & Wesson were all headquartered in \u201cGun Valley\u201d, a region stretching from central Massachusetts down into Connecticut. Over the past few years, however, the anti-gun politics in those New England states have made the location an increasingly hostile territory for gun makers, and now one of the biggest names in the firearms industry has announced it\u2019s pulling up stakes and striking out for greener pastures.<\/p>\n

Smith & Wesson has announced that it\u2019s moving its headquarters from Springfield, Massachusetts to Marysville, Tennessee, investing $125-million in its new property and bringing 750 jobs with them.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur pro-business reputation, skilled workforce, and commitment to the Second Amendment make Tennessee an ideal location for firearms manufacturing. We welcome Smith & Wesson to The Volunteer State and are proud this U.S.-based brand has chosen to relocate from Massachusetts. Thanks for your significant investment in Blount County and for creating 750 new jobs,\u201d Gov Bill Lee said.
\nEarlier this year, the announcement was made that another gun maker, Troy Industries, relocated to Clarksville.<\/em><\/p>\n

Tennessee has become a popular destination for gun makers, with employment in the firearms industry in the state growing by more than 50% in the past five years. But the state of Massachusetts and its anti-gun politicians have also made relocation a pressing concern for many firearms manufacturers, particularly with Democrats trying to impose new bans on the manufacturing of many popular products.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Firearms manufacturers aren’t the only folks voting with their feet to red states. But that’s for another flame war. Thanks, Poe.<\/p>\n

For the record, PTR Industries make, well, just as easy to see. This way I can poke a bit at ChipNASA, just because.<\/p>\n
