Wow, I thought the firearms industry was one of the areas enjoying better profits in this economy?  Must be the 'climate' in New England causing the upset. :(
IMO, more to this story than what was reported.

They are only closing the Windham plant.  Like it or not the brand will survive but will just be moved to another facility for manufacture.

A lot of companies are moving to places there are less taxes or where the local government will give them a tax break.

Bushie is owned by Cerebus group... as well as DPMS, Remington and Marlin.

Theyre not going anywhere, just shuting down redundant plants as a result of their consolidation..

sad part is the employees are left with nothing.. kinda like the corporate pirates of the 80s
