HARTFORD, Conn. - Connecticut Gov. Dannel P. Malloy harshly criticized gun industry lobbyists on Sunday, saying they are doing too little to halt gun violence.  Just three days after he signed into law new restrictions on weapons and large-capacity magazines, the governor compared Wayne LaPierre, executive vice president of the National Rifle Association, to clowns and said lobbyists want to ensure that the industry can sell guns indiscriminately.

So Colt, this is why I purchased a new rifle from Daniel Defense instead of a 6920 from you guys.  I can't stomach any of my money making its way to C-cut and the performance by this bozo Malloy today just proved me right.

SO, is Colt just gonna bend over and take it?

Colt is joining all the other innovative American manufacturing companies in the great stampede to the Right to Work South.

From RedState…


Colt Firearms appears to be one of the many Connecticut companies looking for a less hostile home.

To clarify, Florida is a Right-to-Work state and Connecticut is not. Which may be why the UAW is so concerned about keeping jobs in the anti-business state:.

via The Miami Herald:

Colt Manufacturing Co. announced earlier this month it is bringing 63 jobs and a new regional headquarters and product manufacturing center to Kissimmee, Fla., next year.

Of course, Colt’s move may also have more to do with the hostile nature Connecticut has toward businesses, or the largest tax increase in the state’s history that was just imposed in June.

It’s unbelievable.  Connecticut unions are going from high paying, high tech manufacturing jobs to trying to unionize day care workers.  Nobody said the unions were very bright…and Connecticut is complicit.  When the same state outlaws the products of its own companies there’s no reason to stick around anymore.  The message is clear…Colt products are good enough for Mexican Drug Cartels (courtesy of our own ATF), but not good enough for Connecticut.

Manufacturing is dying in the Rust Belt.  California and Illinois, are you paying attention?  Of course not.  Unless, you threaten to leave.

If Colt bows to their Government Masters and remains in CT, then Colt will never get a red cent from moi'...  BCM, DD and LWRC are fine options too...

probably based on your original posting a thread and assuming that every thread started is being seen by colt and will help the cause for them to increase sales or move out of CT - or something along that line
