By March, Remington Arms — a shell of its former self — will close doors and relocate to Georgia after 207 years in Ilion. Some 300 jobs will disappear from the region.
"Due to New York State's radical anti-Second Amendment policies and disastrous business climate, they have run Remington Arms, the country's oldest gun manufacturer, out of New York State.
