An absence of foresight is a terrible affliction.
One of the most fascinatingly infuriating idioms of the Left is their utter inability to think more than a single step, a single act out in front of themselves.
This from thegatewaypundit.com.
Remington 700BDL .270 WIN–One of many works of art.
To the Left, every issue can be “solved” with some sort of emotional outburst or half-baked plan, irrespective of any potential consequences three or four steps down the road. In other words, their problem-solving skills are atrocious. A problem “solved” by them is a new worse problem created.
And few examples make that clearer than the Left’s never-ending crusade against the Second Amendment.
To the far left, getting rid of guns will somehow stop all wanton murder in the country.
The issue is that the Left has utterly convinced itself the only way to stop murder on a meaningful level in the country is to outlaw guns or harass perfectly law-abiding citizens.
Spoiler alert: This should go without saying, but harassing law-abiding citizens and outlawing guns will do less than nothing to deter the criminal element. Just look at the frequency and size of shootings in states with restrictive gun laws.
But apart from the inefficiency of the Left’s “solution” to America’s issues, they are also incapable of thinking on a more macro level.
As the Left spends ceaseless effort attacking our integrity, character, and purpose on a daily basis, We the People grow to dislike them very much and eventually look to get away from them.
And this is exactly what the iconic RemArms, the current iteration of the historic Remington Arms Company, and one of the most recognizable and largest gun manufacturers in the country, has decided to do with one of its New York facilities.
According to letters sent to union leaders obtained by the Utica Observer-Dispatch:
Ilion, which is a village in Herkimer County, New York, will be losing its facility in March 2024.
And this is a big deal: Ilion is the birthplace of Remington, as the company was founded there. They’ve been manufacturing guns there since 1816… which is well over 200 years’ worth of history.
And yes, the facility closure will involve layoffs and swathes of people losing their jobs.
As to who should shoulder the blame for this abrupt closure, local Republican lawmakers put out a joint statement stopping just short of calling out Leftist hostility as the reason RemArms was leaving.
The statement said, according to the Observer-Dispatch:
Unfortunately, like we have seen all too often in New York, burdensome regulations, crippling taxes and problematic energy and other policies continue to force businesses and companies to flee the state, taking jobs and livelihoods with them.
We will continue to communicate with state and federal officials and work to help and assist the company’s employees and their families during this difficult time.
Rep. Stefanik noted as part of that joint statement:
It is because of New York Democrats’ unconstitutional gun grab policies that the oldest gun manufacturer in the country has been run out of the state.
I have spoken with local officials and Remington Arms union members in United Mine Workers of America, Local 717 about how we must stand up to New York’s failed unconstitutional gun bans.
But if you needed to hear it from the horse’s mouth itself, RemArms included some not-so-subtle allusions to why it left in an auto-reply email that The Hill reported on.
The auto replay email stated:
RemArms is excited to expand our facilities in Georgia.
The replay then stated:
The Peach State not only welcomes business but enthusiastically supports and welcomes companies in the firearms industry.
The relocation of RemArms will be to a new $100M operation in LaGrange, Georgia, southwest of Atlanta, hiring more than 800 people over five years.
Far-Left communist/globalist actions, half-baked plans and emotional outbursts have consequences.
The workers of the Ilion RemArms facility are the ones who are paying for Leftist stupidity with the loss of their livelihoods.
Final thoughts: Yes, I’m aware this article stops short of identifying the communists’/globalists’ ultimate goals of control and reducing the population. They must first take our guns, then just as all other populations who have had their guns taken from them, if we allowed that to happen we would be killed.
