Welcome to the part of the south that supports the 2nd amendment!

"Frankly, that’s not surprising as many companies look to move from anti-gun states where lawmakers seek to make it more and more difficult for them to sell their products. At some point, you’re just not going to feel particularly welcome, so it makes sense to bug out for friendlier climates.

Georgia is just one of the states that have benefitted from this boon, however. American Rifleman noted this trend back in 2014 as many companies left anti-gun states and found a home among southern hospitality."

Tell the 'true-blue' parts of the country to learn to make iphones for $6 an hour!
We'll take every evil gun-manufacturer you throw out and gladly put our people to work in high-paying jobs instead of working on peanut farms... (wait for it)...
For PEANUTS!

"This now adds Taurus to the stable of gun companies calling Georgia home. Perhaps most famously, Glock’s U.S. headquarters is in Smyrna, Ga., but the state also has H&K in Columbus, Daniel Defense in Black Creek, and Honor Defense in Gainsville, to name a few. That’s quite a few companies in a state with a solid pro-gun reputation."

Don't forget Alabama!

"Once a small manufacturing company based in Yonkers, New York, Kimber has grown rapidly over the past 21 years. The new manufacturing facility in Troy will be Kimber’s sixth U.S. location.
“We are pleased with the impressive track record that Alabama has with attracting and retaining world-class manufacturing companies,” said Leslie Edelman, Kimber’s president and chief executive officer."

"Ugo Gussalli Beretta, President of Beretta U.S.A., recently wrote an op-ed in the Washington Times bluntly titled “Maryland disrespects us and gun owners, so we expand in Tennessee.”
“Maryland’s governor and legislature voted in favor of new regulations that unfairly attack products we make and that our customers want,” Beretta said. “These regulations also demean our law-abiding customers, who must now be fingerprinted like criminals before they can be allowed to purchase one of our products.”...
"Other iconic brands, like FNH/Winchester and Ithaca Gun (South Carolina) and Mossberg (Texas) also made strategic decisions to relocate."
"Austrian gun manufacturer Steyr Arms recently opened a new showroom and distribution center in Bessemer, Ala., continuing the state’s momentum."

I could go on and on, but I'll be up against the character limit for one post.
