Lawrence G. Keane (if that's his real name) no doubt has an inside track with the Biden campaign.

Who knows, maybe those machine tools will be needed to make ploughshares instead of swords when we rebuild America.

it's been the rally cry for the dem party this election cycle,

The article talks about lost jobs to the industry. The standard capitalist answer to that, when it is a result of offshoring manufacturing, is "the workers will find something else to do". Like maybe work in a pharmaceutical plant or something.

Seriously, if manufacturing returns, then gun plants may be low on the priority for labor.

If Biden won, he'd shut down everything, from sheer incompetence.

Brilliant.

most are CNC produced or subcontracted out smaller parts,

does not take a huge workforce for most of the manufacturors

So perhaps an overstatement by the OP's link as to the severity of the impact.

Asymptotically, there's no reason to believe that gun sales will outstrip the growth of the population.

All that said, Biden is by his own admission a "hunting rifle (bolt gun) and shotgun" guy. He freely admits to not seeing the necessity of certain types of autoloaders and hi-cap mags. In general I don't think necessity ought to be the driver, but I do see his point about 100 round mags for 5.56mm actions. If someone really wants to zorch pumpkins without reloading, then let him send his fingerprints to the BATFE. Won't hurt me none.

you should change your name to Fudd,,


got a 1911 or a 10\22?

kiss them goodbye under biden\beto,


the larger manufactures have smaller factories now in various states,

Rem, besides overinvesting in the big plant in Huntsville, has a plant in NY, KY and I think a few others, as well as a few farmed out Factory Repair centers here and there,

Savage still has a large operation as does Beretta in the US,

Smith, Ruger, and FN have plants in several states ,

most of the rest are smaller one location shops,

If Biden ever becomes president of the USA then you yanks who vote for him are dumber than the dumb morons that voted for our clown Prime Minister Trudeau up here in Canada.

BTW.... 5.56 actions?


if you are Anti AR,, fine and dandy, don't buy one,

however,, if you are half as smart as you think you are (and tell us,, ) you would see where that leads,,,

[S.A. Boggs]

If one can be banned all can be banned that is for certain. Remember what Chairman Mao said about power emitting?

Biden said there is no reason a person should have 100 rounds of ammo. Guess he forgot about shooting competitions where a lot of shooting practice makes for a better marksman.

[togor]

Lyman,

We're not going to conflate the rifle and the magazine here.

I use 20 round mags in 5.56 and 10 rounders in 7.62 in my AR actions. 30's are common in 5.56, used by LE, and I suppose 20's for 7.62. I don't have a problem with us commoners owning those sizes since I do myself. But I find that they just don't get used in my own shooting.

Trump made bump stocks go away by executive fiat, and there was nary a murmur of protest among gun owners. If they found a regulatory device to do the same with 100 round mags, I predict the same result.

If they said,

"You want 100 round mags, then buy a stamp and send us your fingerprints,"

I wouldn't lose any sleep over it.

And the nation's pumpkins would rejoice.

More on the unemployment line!!
Gov't and Law enforcement will have to open their own "illegal' factories.
