Bushmaster to Maine: It’ll cost ya!
Head notes that Bushmaster sent a letter to Maine congress monkeys regarding the various firearms bans the state is proposing:
Bushmaster Firearms of Windham sent a letter to the committee last week saying the bill “would require Bushmaster to move out of Maine immediately.” Richard Dyke, Bushmaster’s chairman, said in the letter that the state would then lose the taxes on $60 million in annual sales, the annual payroll of more than $7 million for 91 employees and nearly $34,000 in property taxes.
91 jobs lost won’t be good in election year.

Good for Bushmaster for being principled. We also need more manufacturers to refuse to sell to .govs that restrict 2A rights.
