Now a gun maker union is up in arms.
Besides the small manufacturers such as Olympic refusing to further sell arms to NY State law enforcement agencies or anyone else in the state, there is some more momentum against the so-called SAFE Act in New York.
It seems that:

BEGIN QUOTE
When Gov. Andrew Cuomo earlier this year pushed through a ban on assault-style weapons, worries surfaced about the fate of gun makers in New York, including Remington Arms Co., which makes assault-style rifles and other weapons at its Ilion factory.
Members of the plant's union have rallied against the new gun law, known as the SAFE Act, but there's been no hint the storied arms maker would leave the state.
SECTION OMITTED
News of Olympic's move comes as at least two legal actions against the SAFE Act are moving forward.
The state Rifle and Pistol Association filed a notice of claim, which reserves its right to sue, with the attorney general. And in Erie County, a private attorney, James Tresmond, contends the law violates constitutional guarantees of privacy and protections against the "taking" of property because it outlaws high-capacity magazine that many gun owners have.
The case has been adjourned until April 25.

Comment by Phil McConathy on February 19, 2013 at 3:44pm I hope every arms manufacturer in America move their manufacturing facilities to states that support the 2nd amendment. The resulting job losses should do the trick for those legislators in these gun grabbing un-American states. They states deserve the resulting job losses.
Comment by Malcolm H. Rudd Jr. on February 18, 2013 at 11:19pm Hell Jo Gonzalez if you're going to think it you might as well say it. I would like to see Olympic Arms, Remington and all others move to Florida. NY voter after all did get what they voted for Obama and Cuomo. This issue just came with the package.

Comment by Jo Gonzalez on February 18, 2013 at 2:51pm People who live in the State of New York, or do business there, do it at their own peril. It almost is tempting to say they deserve it, as they keep electing Liberals, and now have their own version of Hitler running NYC. If they vote for Dictators, what can you say?? I have a suggestion, give Rick Perry a call, and see what he will offer you when you bring your Business to a State that lives free. Yeah, give Texas a try. It's nice here.
Comment by Jack Kemp on February 18, 2013 at 10:22am John, since Remington makes ammo, that means they can be hurt by staying in NY because a drop of 10-15 percent in their ammo sales hurts their bottom line. More people buy ammo than new guns or rifles. Why don't you tell Remington what you just posted here? You could add that right now there is an ammo shortage and this may appear as an insignificant threat, but in a year or three, a threat of a Remington ammo boycott is a lot more realistic.

Comment by Scott Kelley on February 18, 2013 at 10:21am Any manufacturer who announces that they will no longer sell to ANY government agency will be my only choice for purchases.
Comment by Cracker on February 18, 2013 at 9:47am Proof that liberalism is a mental illness. coumo and the like should all be fenced in NY and GUN FREE ZONE signs should be placed on the perimeter of the fence! I'm sure the criminal world in NY would know what to do. Just think of all of the court costs AMERICA would save!
Comment by hunter60 on February 18, 2013 at 9:11am In my opinion every small arms and ammunition manufacturer should immediately stop sales to all branches of government at all levels that operate against the Constitutionally guaranteed 2A. They'll more than make up for it selling to patriots.
Comment by John Brunner on February 18, 2013 at 8:04am I will again purchase Remington Arms and Ammo when that company teclares that they are moving to a firearms supportive state.
Comment by Hector Torres on February 18, 2013 at 7:56am We need to actively campaign and even financially assist all gun and parts manufacturers, including ammo mfr's to move from anti-2d AMD states like Illinois, New York and Colorado. The anti-gun crowd will be silenced because most people understand loosing jobs & money.
