Killing the gun business
In Massachusetts, a bill would likely put their gun manufacturers out of business. I’ve never understood why gun companies are located behind enemy lines. But that could change, I guess.

Hopefully the “move here” departments of some gun-friendly states will call these folks and get some jobs to their states. Then let Mass. and others drown in their own PC bullbleep.

I see a VERY profitable black market if this thing passes.

It certainly wont put them out of business… they will just take their jobs and tax payments to another state. Its the free market at work. God Bless America!

Yeah I don’t think it would put them out of business. It would just put them out of Massachusetts.

Those enemy lines weren’t always there. Worcester and Springfield used to have many factories and machine shops – with trained people and materials available locally – they were good places to makes guns.
The lines came later, I doubt this will pass but I would have an exit plan if I were them.

Hmm…with Borders Bookstores closing, my town finds itself with a sudden glut of commercial warehouse space. I wonder if the local leadership would like to fill that space with manufacturing jobs…

The gun business is one that is doing well in both sales and manufacturing HERE rather than being moved out of the country by so-called “free trade”…which is actually international managed trade.
Tennessee will welcome and be friendly to those from Massachusetts (however you spell it)–and elsewhere. And Tennesseans will buy their products.

The gun makers were probably there before Massachusetts became an enemy stronghold. Now it’s getting bad enough that they will have to consider “bugging out”.

They can come to Texas and ditch the UNIONS.

More gun manufacturers are located in anti-gun states than not; I ran down a good number of them a while back…

Hell, Jack Daniels is distilled in a dry county. Go figure.

The manufacturers might just start microetching a serial number on their firing pins, which would last at least as long as it takes to make one imprint on the first test round fired from the gun. Then the gun can be sold. It just increases the cost to the consumer for no good reason, unless that is the point of the exercise.

I used to work for a gun company, located in a gun friendly state, but we still got bids and proposals constantly to “Build your new gun factory in Oklahoma” or wherever.
All S&W and Kahr have to do is move their final assembly to a nearby, gun friendly state. Problem solved. You can’t insist on microstamping being done to the barrels if the barrels are built in another state.

My brilliant wife suggested that a more feasible solution would be to have a string attach each bullet to the gun that fired it. Then the police could just follow the string to the evil shooter who would of course still be holding the weapon…
