The report states that Remington began its review of new locations after passage of the SAFE Act which banned magazines containing more than seven rounds, and reclassified the Bushmaster – a Remington product – as an “assault weapon.”

Assemblyman Steve McLaughlin posted this to his Facebook page:

In honor of President’s Day Remington is going to spend $87 million of them in Alabama and not in NY….which is ironic since Cuomo is spending at least $250 million around the country saying we’re “Open for Business.”

He added:

Remington is making what I sadly believe will be the first of many moves to greatly downsize their operations in Ilion, if not close there altogether apple icloud alle bilder herunterladen.

Indeed, one month after stating that “extreme” conservatives who are “pro-assault-weapon” are not welcome in New York, Cuomo is watching a company, thousands of employees, and millions of dollars, heed that advice aktienkurse downloaden.
