Because the economy of Springfield MA is booooming enough to lose S&W and the massive base of suppliers that feed the factory.

Crappy way to force a business that pays taxes and salaries to move their operation to another state. STUPID STUPID STUPID

Not gonna pass or make a damn bit of difference if it did, shows how little they understand the gun industry or the legal definition of "assault weapon." I'd bet 98% of what S&W makes is not considered an "assault weapon" under the terms of the ban, and as far as I now S&W does not really manufacture magazines, they are mostly made for S&W by companies like Mec-Gar.

Mass is a woke joke

Nah their mp sport line up is pretty popular I thought

But whatever we're quibbling over nothing

 

[ProGun]

Good. Hopefully Smith & Wesson moves along with their tax revenue to a free state. F this commie cesspool.

 

[wmassregulators]

According to the article they are putting places like Springfield armory on notice as well

Because..... you know..... the museum....or something

It's not S&W that worries me for this one. Its all the little guys in the state......

Good point but S&W pays a shit ton of taxes to the city and state and the trickle down thru the employees has to be a massive hit.

I double dog dare them to pass this.

 

[Quantavious G]

I would really laugh if they moved to NH and offered a relocation package to their current employees to go with them. I would prefer not to see the working slobs take a hit because of Mass douchebagery

I would love to see them build right over the border too. Are they still trying to sell that golf course in Hudson?

 

[Dadstoys]

It's not like they give a shit about working people anyway.
If the past year hasn't shined a spotlight on that , I don't know what will.

and make sure they sell the old factory to an affordable housing consortium

 

[Rehoboth Dave]

and make sure they sell the old factory to an affordable housing consortium

Yeah after letting it sit idle for 5-10 years and get nice and dilapidated.

That site has significant hazmat remediation costs and demolishing the factory components due the weight of the presses and other heavy equipment wouldn't be cheap. The utilities are also all wrong for residential use and would require a heft investment.

If S&W leaves, Springfield is a ghost city. A significant number of other businesses in metro-Springfield are dependent on having S&W as a customer and are bankrupt if that factory closes.

 

[Cap'n Mike]

Could this be a way to stop citizens from making there own firearms?
For Example, finishing a 80% lower?

 

[ReluctantDecoy]

Of all the nonsensical BS just to get some likes and circle jerk with the "woke" left....

The message is that any company in MA that makes weapons is bad and should be asked to leave, yet they skip over Raytheon. This is a hit piece on 2A rights using scare tactics and cherry picking companies.

 

[MassPete]

I get it now... All the violence in Chicago is caused by guns built in Massachusetts....

Thats gonna be an Amazon distribution center if the permits go through

State of Massachusetts doesn't care.

When the state doesn't have enough money, they just take more.

Absolutely pathetic that individuals think they can tell business what they can legally sell.

 

[The5thDentist]

Absolutely insane.

But, S&W and every other manufacturer should have moved out of here a long time ago.

 

[BarnB]

They, like everyone else, should get the f*ck out now while they still can.

Feets don't fail me now. Run!

 

[cjbenway]

Springfield Armory, Ha!
The media continues to show its ignorance.

S&W can just move AR production to ME where they build the 22 simi auto pistols and 1911's. This will put a bunch of temp productions workers out of work. There are not that many real S&W employees working on the AR production line. Some may move to ME and the others will be reassigned in the factory.
