Reports from an Arfcommer in CT that Colt and Stag are both also moving to Texas. Says the news should be released soon.

Good! I feel sorry for the Colt and Stag employees that cannot make the move for whatever reason. But I certainly do NOT feel sorry for the state's loss of revenue...

So the employees of colt and stag elected the anti gun legislators? "Screw them." I bet no one saw that line of "logic" coming.

It's no wonder why Atlas is shrugging.

Just don't be around when Atlas starts shitting!!!!

I wonder REALLY how many Colt or Stag Arms employees voted for the anti-gun politicians?

I think you just might be surprised at the results....

Read an article about Savage the other day. Most of their people aren't gun people, just wanted a job with benefits. Imagine most factories are the same. I build block buildings for a living, but my coworkers don't go home at night and fondle a stack of blocks...

I feel for anyone losing there job due to political ignorance. Texas should know this all to well after being Obamanated with the rest of us. Seems just that the gun manufactures move to this part of the country.

The company associated with the website www.ar15.com is also moving to TX. In fact, they are having a web sale to reduce what has to be packed and moved with them.

Aahhh, yes: it is good to be a Texan!

We chatted with the owners son in 02. Relatively nice fella. A little hard to understand with a Cuban accent but we managed through it. They should fair well there. At the present I believe they hale from NY.

Breckenridge Texas yep that's a real FRACKING good area. They'll need to bring lot's of bottled water with them.

Always enlightening to read about fracking from someone who depends on natural gas but lives in places where none comes from.

No doubt "facts" gathered from the totally discredited "docuBS" GASLAND.

As long as the loons block safe effective nuke plants, natural gas is our only hope.

Andy,
You know the materials used in fracking are mostly common clays, that are used for clarifying beer and beauty treatments, right?

I did not no that. I'm the guy that watched the FRACKING documentary. Apparently I was deceived. Was the California gun laws suck documentary/video the same?

Yup fracking is terrible.

We should build more windfarms that kill 100s of thousand of birds.(including FEDERALLY protected species !) Don't worry when the wind stops you can always light your whale oil lamp ... right ?

Gasland has been totally discredited, catch up with reality.

Read this: http://www.anga.us/critical-is...gasland#.UZJj9YIxs7A

and this:

http://www.foxnews.com/enterta...other-side-fracking/

As a point of fact the whacko official who is blocking fracking in PA was a consultant on Gasland.

She is a "true believer" who doesn't let the facts get in the way. Just because the farmers are being forced into bankruptacy ..... who cares ....they're probably evil Republicans anyway.

The friggin Frogs, who have not won a war since Napoleon, manage to produce the vast majority of their electric power with Nukes, but because we let a tiny minority of loons dominate our energy policy we can't.

Even T. Boone bailed out on windfarms and I'd suggest he is a lot smarter than anyone in Washington.

Drill baby, drill !

I say let's burn more fuel rods. I prefer Nuclear. Just don't build them on the coast.

You don't need fuel rods anymore.

Check out this site:

http://www.reesepalley.com/

Reese is a character and also a genius.

I think he has done everything but walk on the moon.

His book THE ANSWER tells how we could (if we had any balls) have safe nuke plants with no fuel rods.

The book on concrete is also fascinating on the most important material in mans' history.

Nobody is blocking fracking in PA. In fact the DEP issued a report stating that there has not been a single case of fracking damaging well water in PA. NY on the other hand...

Baretta recently let Maryland know they will be looking to move. Don't know if it will be to Texas or not.
