For the original article: Please, Please Buy This Gun Company

For the commentary: New York Times Wants To See Remington Bought, Run Into The Ground

From the article: "A reimagined Remington with a new management and mandate could develop smart-gun technology. It could back fingerprint technology meant to prevent anyone who is not the gun’s owner from shooting it, a measure that could greatly reduce suicides and the potential for guns to be stolen. It could add an identity stamp to ammunition fired from any of its guns. It could also establish and standardize responsible sales policies for retailers to sell its firearms."

I could see a billionaire like Soros or Bloomberg doing this. For that, I say go ahead and waste your money.

uuum it's not just one investor that would have to buy Remington Arms. it would have to be a lot of investors. Soros or Bloomturd have the capital, but what would they do if they did buy it. Simply close the doors and walk away. putting SEVERAL THOUSAND PEOPLE OUT OF WORK, just at Remington. what about all of Remingtons suppliers. we're talking about tens of thousands of people here.

The backlash would be immense. it would destroy there already crappy reputations and support for there anti-2A groups would evaporate

Yes, let Soros or Bloomberg buy it and develop those new products. And when nobody buys them and the company goes bust it will be sweet to watch them lose millions.

In NJ that will trigger the safe handgun law and basically outlaw everything else.

The problem with this idea is no one would do it. No one will buy these guns and ammo. They will be more expensive and not what most gun owners want. These people mentioned are business men not morons. They know this too.

If I had the cash I could turn Remington into the gun empire it once was. Solid management and capital could save this iconic brand.

What do you guys say, group buy? I’ll be CEO.

I'm hoping the new Board of Directors would be smart enough to move it to a gun friendly state for starters.

Not to be a dick nor am I looking for a debate, just a question. You do know people rely on the jobs, right? Who cares what state they are in? Cuomo is anti American. Should we move NY out of the country?
Good people with real bills to pay would be a little perplexed that because Cuomo hates guns, you would rather see them unemployed. Isn't there enough misery in this shitty state?
Sorry if I sound like a douche, but that statement makes zero sense to me.

As long as quality control is put back on priority number 1.
Then I'd be game.

As far as making NY a different country .... let's just exclude that to NYC. I wish we could just flush it into the Atlantic.

I don't think you're being a dick at all, nor do I think you sound like a douche, and I do realize there are hard working Folks who rely on these jobs. BUT, if I were the CEO of ANY company where the state I am paying taxes to has 1 goal in mind, which is to put me out of business, you can bet your ass I'd leave there. It could really end up being the best thing that can happen to the employees if they are offered the opportunity to transfer to the new location (which is often the case!). It would offer them the opportunity to GTFO of NYS. Either way, I would pull out as quickly as I can, otherwise the state will put you out of business anyway!!

As for cumho, I would move him out of the U.S.!!
