Exodus in the North East
With recent gun control laws in New York and Connecticut, gun companies are moving or considering moving out of existing states. With the New York SAFE act banning magazine capacity of more than 10 rounds, requiring background checks on ammunition sales, existing assault weapons can be grandfathered in but magazines exciding 10 rounds cannot be. In Connecticut they have banned high capacity magazines and assault weapons. These laws have left its historic firearms companies scouting out for new locations for their company to move. These companies include Kahr Arms, Ithaca and PTR industries are planning to move and expand to different states. Other companies are in disgust with the laws like Colt, Mossberg, Remington, and Ruger are staying there for now.
