I've wondered ...

.
... why this threat isn't immediately on the lips of every gun maker:

Two venerable American gun manufacturers — Remington and Colt — could head for the West their weapons helped win if New York and Connecticut force them to implement microstamping technology.

Especially since the experience of Smith and Wesson when they slighted the very people who buy their wares.

Every gun maker should be prepared to move to more favorable climes any time the politicos mention any of this kind of crap, and also not to sell to areas that mandate this kind of crap (a la Ronnie Barrett).

And you know there are plenty of vacant manufacturing facilities that would gladly take them in.
