Some folks in NY, like Fred Dicker, have been slamming the SAFE act and Gov. Cuomo for losing jobs as Remington firearms looks to build a new factory out of the state.

Except that Remington is expanding operations, they aren’t shuttering the NY factory. They’re opening a new factory in Alabama because of increased demand. So, the critics are now spinning this as a lost jobs opportunity because of SAFE.

For Remington this makes sense because they’re moving their production much closer to where demand is.
