What amazes me is the number of firearms manufacturers that are still in Illinois: Armalite, D.S. Arms, Rock River Arms, Springfield Armory, Les Baer, White Oak Armament, to named a few.
And I think the most effective thing a manufacturer can do is to refuse to sell to anyone in states with restrictive laws. People would move in that case. - 2/10/14, 5:51 PM

Snackeater, I don't agree. By all means, gunmakers should refuse to sell to the STATES which have onerous gun laws -- i.e., to the state apparatus like police -- but if they refuse to sell to the people of those states, the gunmakers are just helping the anti-gun legislators keep guns out of the hands of the population.
BTW, Les Baer has moved across the Mississippi River to Iowa. But I agree with your central premise. Why DSArms, which makes magnificent assault rifles, would want to stay in Illinois is just beyond me.

I think that moving from anti-gun states to Free States is the best thing the manufacturers can do.
Let the local anti-guy pols explain how converting vacated firearms manufacturing concerns into Mexican flea markets is really good for the economy.
But I agree that it is shocking that any manufacturers (of any type, including gun makers) remain in Illinois.
I was born there 57 years ago, but I only spent a few years of my life there.
And now, even though its subjects can now get carry permits, my out-of-state one is not valid there. - 2/11/14, 4:44 PM

Kim--I would hope that by not selling to anyone in those states (especially the police), the public outcry would be so great that the government would either have to reverse course or would be voted out of office.
During the time I lived there (ugh), Midway refused to sell ammo to Illinois residents. And every time I saw a good deal at Midway, I'd get so angry I'd write another letter to my congressman.
Course, it apparently didn't have any effect...maybe you're right. - 2/11/14, 7:09 PM

Beretta is gonna be shocked at how pro-gun this state really is. When some of the state legislators last started to make gun control noises we voted them all out. That and talk of a state income tax will get a politician lynched around here.
