Beretta Leaves Maryland Because of Stricter Gun Laws

[C-Money]

Beretta makes some of the finest firearms known to man. Hope they find a home that welcomes them with open arms.

I'm actually surprised that Beretta isn't going to TX or MT to make sure it doesn't have to go through this again in a few years. VA supports the Beltway crowd and is becoming more liberal each year with Fairfax Co. and Alexandria. Richmond is starting to liberalize, as well.

WA will follow suit soon enough with gun control. We've only been given a breather and it'll start again because of the I-5 corridor and its liberal idiots, heavily financially supported by organized labor, labor that will ironically lose many of their jobs when companies like Boeing leave due to failing liberal economic policies.

 You mean the same organized labor that keeps local and state economies a float? The same union workers who dedicate goods and services to people in difficult situations perhaps due to no fault of their own.
The same union workers who provide the best skilled work force in America bar none..The same union worker who sometimes is asked to sacrifice for the good of fellow workers to ensure better wages and benefits for future generations (perhaps maybe even your own kid). The same union guys like myself and lots of buddies who book hunts with people on this site and else where to help this industry..Yea i guess your right when you look at it....... Union workers are the root of all evil who do nothing good but suckle on the teets of big industry and chase corporations outta of town. That's a crock dude and if you believe that you should leave town with them.

 Not everybody is going to see things the same way, think the same way, vote the same or even share the same religious beliefs but that's the beauty of the place we live. You have your thoughts and ideas and i have mine but you won't catch me on here pontificating how everybody who doesn't share my ideals is an idiot..

Please be careful when you categorize and generalize about a group of people as a whole..Liberal  Democrats, Conservatives Republicans all have their fair share people who are just a little too far left or right for everybody's liking, but you know you can always exercise your right to vote and hope your party can EVENTUALLY get somebody in office who can save the nation from the sky falling.

Until then

In all seriousness Bob, you can't blame a business for trying to increase bottom line while maintaining quality. If You owned the company you would be working every day at doing the same thing, if not then you wouldn't be in business for long.

The machinests at Boeing have always walked a thin line, balancing wages with forcing the company to look elsewhere. It seems Boeing has been pushed to the tipping point and if they leave then they have every right to do so, just as you have the right to strike against them for higher wages/benefits.

My concern is making it long enough at my place of employment to retire before a.) somebody gets slick with the pension fund (ala Enron) or b.) I get duped by some other white collar criminal on my portfolio(B.Madoff).  All of which characters may hero's to some in here.
If you're interested in your companies bottom line have you given some of your earnings back? Have you decided you want to pay for all your benefit package on your own because you feel after 25 years its the right thing to do for the company when the whole time your job is being shopped for dirt cheap labor around the world. 

How about if you own the company has any of your hired help given back their earnings because they wanna help your bottom line.. I mean lets be honest..You have two separate agenda's in play all eager to blame each other for the woe's of the company.. Companies bottom line is to make money i think everybody gets it but when the salaries get so ridiculously disproportionate and they could effectively have 90 people (who could make 60k a year)working for the company full time all year long for the salary they pay JUST you..Maybe you and the dozens and dozens on mahogany row who make as much or more are the problem.   

And once the cancerous hourly worker is no longer the problem to the bottom line which level of the work force is next? The mid level white collar guy who doesn't think the plan is such a good idea anymore.

Plans are usually always fun when your in them- Look I have no problem with guys who don't want to work a union job or be apart of something that can help you to a better life or standard of living just don't bash those that do. There are a lot of people, many in this forum who would take a union job and all if can offer in a New York second and it doesn't mean their lazy and can't work anyplace else.

  O.k. the horse is dead

Good for Beretta    I would leave Maryland to. I was just watching the news report on rain tax. Are you kidding me. They said that Maryland is starting a new rain tax effective in June. So the more land you own the more tax you pay.
