Remington Arms Moving Out of New York

Thanks to hostile liberal anti-gun policies of New York state, another firearms manufacturing company is abandoning a northeast liberal state for more friendlier surroundings. 

First, it was Smith & Wesson leaving Massachusetts, now it is Remington. The company is heading to Georgia.

Law Enforcement Today reported:

ILION, NY- The residents of the small community of Ilion are discovering firsthand that the anti-gun stance adopted by New York's legislature would result in numerous job losses. This is evident following Remington's decision to relocate to Georgia, marking the end of over 200 years of the oldest firearms manufacturer's presence in New York, Fox News reported.

Ilion, located approximately 230 miles northwest of New York City, has been identified with Remington for over two centuries, and with the move, that history is now gone. 

“Two hundred and eight years of history. Gone…gone,” Ilion Mayor John P. Stephens told The New York Times. “Ilion is Remington. Remington is Ilion.” 

The move to relocate the remaining portions of the company shouldn’t come as a surprise since RemArms, the current version of Remington Arms, announced last year to union officials that the company would be pulling up stakes and ending New York manufacturing operations effective this March. The remaining operations are moving to Georgia, where company officials say the firearms industry is supported and welcomed. 

Residents of the small community are now bracing for life without Remington, which some say will take a part of the town’s identity with it. 

“When Remington leaves, it’s not going to be like a facility leaving, it’s going to be like part of your family has moved off,” said Jim Conover, a Remington retiree who started with the company in 1964, to the Associated Press. 

Last year, I bought my first Remington, a Remington Model 870 Express shotgun.

NM Admin Office of Courts: Eliminate All Court Fees For Violators and Bill Taxpayers

There is one political party in New Mexico who has controls over the state government: the Democrat Party. Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham, a left-wing Democrat, appoints members of the judiciary as well as members of the Administrative Office of the Courts (AOC).

Around the country, that party have been eliminating monetary bail and other fees and letting criminals go free until their court dates, as if they'd show up. This is resulting in skyrocketing crime and turning Democrat run states and cities into shitholes.

New Mexico now wants to do the same and shift the burden onto taxpayers. They want to start with minor traffic offenses and misdemeanors, but this will eventually lead to higher crimes as in other Democrat-run states.

According to Law Enforcement Today:

Sante Fe, NM: The New Mexico Administrative Office of the Courts, or AOC, is proposing to eliminate a variety of fees associated with traffic offenses and misdemeanor fines, essentially passing on the loss of revenue to law-abiding taxpayers.

AOC is requesting that lawmakers make up the loss of 16 million dollars from the general fund.

Are you okay with paying for people who broke the law?

Critics of the court system’s fees claim that those who are already financially burdened are just led into a deeper hole after being slapped with a variety of fees from their wrongdoing. These people whose fines are imposed on may be led into committing more crimes to pay for past fines.

There's an old saying, "If you can't do the time, don't do the crime!" This should also apply to those who commit traffic offenses and misdemeanors. "If you can't pay the fees and fines, don't do the crime."

Yes, this appears to be an extension of New Mexico's "catch and release" criminal justice system.

Virginia Bill To Make Firearms Training A Felony

The Looney Left Report

The following is an excellent example on why stupid people shouldn't be allowed to vote.

The Democrats have a solid grip in the Virginia legislature following the recent elections, besides having a loon as their governor.

Law Enforcement Today reported:

Virginia legislators have clearly lost their minds on this latest bill that was drafted and filed this month, which will be open to discussion come January 2020. 

This of course is in reference to Senate Bill Number 64, or SB64 as it may appear on various print or spoken discussion. 

Virginia is attempted to chip away at the rights of citizens, one small hammer stroke at a time; and this bill is going to attempt to outlaw firearm training. We’ll display the language used in the bill and get into dissecting how it may be perceived generally, or even presented, versus how it can also be enacted. 

The first portion of the bill goes as follows: 

“A person is guilty of unlawful paramilitary activity, punishable as a Class 5 felony if he: 1. Teaches or demonstrates to any other person the use, application, or making of any firearm, explosive, or incendiary device, or technique capable of causing injury or death to persons, knowing or having reason to know or intending that such training will be employed for use in, or in furtherance of, a civil disorder”

It seems to make firearms training a Class 5 felony.

That is why people in the 2020 elections should not vote for any Democrat. They are hell-bent on taking away the constitutional rights of Americans.

However, there is some good news coming out of Virginia.

GunsAmerica Digest reported:

Virginia gun owners have gathered by the hundreds at Board of Supervisors meetings in counties across the state to send a message to the newly elected Democratic legislature in Richmond. 

As of this writing, 23 counties and towns have declared themselves Second Amendment sanctuaries since Michael Bloomberg flipped the state legislature from red to blue earlier this month. Second Amendment sanctuaries exist in many states across the country, but no state has seen so many in such a short span of time.

Gun owners are following in the footsteps of New Mexico and other states by having their county Boards of Supervisors declare their counties as Second Amendment Sanctuary Counties.
