Lets see Liberals keep telling us that regulations and laws are good for business. SO the rules and regs are making colt think about leaving their home of over 180 years. Eliminating Jobs and killing Union jobs.
Well what is going to stop them from moving the head quarters one way and the manufacturing another like off shore so they can do the deep bluing again? Can you say Turkish made Colt SAA's or Italian? A reintroduced Brazilian made Detective Special? A Chinese Python? A Spanish Anaconda?
There was a rumor that Uberti was casting the actions for Colts 4th gen SAA revolvers .
I know some people who bought them and had to send them back for warrenty claims .
But a Chinese python ? No way ! Is there nothing sacred ?
I have heard the Metro arms 1911 made in the Phillpines is a very good pistol for the price .
But even FNH was plagued with warrenty failures on their PS 90 and the 2000 when they first hit
the marketplace . Mostly from slam fires with the 2000 , its fireing pin was to heavy and would set
off the primers on some 223 ammo when closeing the bolt .
The PS 90 had problems with dew accumulation in the sight in humid areas , our cops bought a
couple of them and had to send them back because of this .
Taurus is currently having trouble with their safety lock on some of their revolvers. It will up and
decide to lock itself during fireing . I tried one and it did that to me so I took it back and got a charter
arms . American PC gun manufacturing is a complicated affair just ask Winchester .
Who at the time was owned by FN, and they placed a safety switch on the place where you would
put a tang sight on their reproduction 1886 rifles . Causeing the resale value of those rifles to be
very low consitering . Browning had the Japanese build theirs and they were 100% accurate in detail
and now command a high price .
So America is a hard place to build for or sell to with all our lawyers and regulations on gun
manufacture . H&K just said to hell with it and has sold to police and military for a long time now.
NM has no state gun laws other than what is federal , but let the Libs get their way like in Colo
and that will change . This is what I am talking about , how soon would it be for any state to turn
on the gun manufacturer after they moved to that state ? The problem is not where to move to
its the whole lib attitude on guns in general . Until that is addressed what's the use ?
You can't sell guns that people have no ammo for, you can't keep retooling for the latest PC safety
devise , you can't afford a non stop legal team to defend against the latest libtard attack on your
industry . Oh Texas may be making a lot of noise right now as are other states. But just look how
fast our national atmosphere and policys have changed with the last two elections !
Pretty shaky arena for any long term business decisions and not just with guns either but everything
else where the goal is to make a profit . You might get the one shot pony from the hording but that
is on the retail level and not on the manufacturing where you may not be able to produce more widgets . Due to governent regulations and executive orders that can come at you with the drop
of a hat . And a lot of these guns we were buying were made in other country's where they don't
even allow their own people to buy or own them . Until this libtard, lawyer problem is addressed it
isnt going to be safe for any company to do bussiness here building anything .
Just look at our medical industry , insurance industry, car manufactures , its all going downhill .
Much less if the consumer has any money left that's worth anything , they may as well use Pesos !
