Remington To Close H&R Plant

[ROHO2]

Sorry I got in on this late.  Here's a thought - what if they (cerberus) are acting in the interest of the anti-gun lobby by getting as many manufacturers under one roof, then closing them down one by one? Choke us out of our sport, hobby, and livelyhood through the back door merge-and-purge tactics that seem to be going on in other areas of Corporate America. Individual stockholders wouldn't stand a chance against the larger shareholders looking at killing the gun culture.  Sorry, like SlideRacker, I was a "victim" of takeover and downsizing in another industry - almost exactly the way he described it.  Keep your eyes on this group.  I would hate to see what appears to be a good thing take our tools away.

 That takes away half the fun     But I don't think it's a problem that way, downsizing, consolidation, etc most likely. anti gun conspiracy, not likely at all. At one time, Gatling, Maxim, Nordenfeldt, and Browning machine guns were all made under the same roof, it was the largest privatly owned arsenal in the world. It was the Colt plant in Hartford Conn. Out of those 5 brands only 2 are still with us but there is more variety in fire arms today than ever before.

OK. I'll put my boots back on.  I also see I misspelled the company name again, spelling not one of my better talents so far.
