Rainier Arms leaving WA

Yet another gun related business leaving a hostile environment for one that is more accommodating and appreciative. Fuck the liberal blight that is infecting this country.

Good for them.

 

[MK20]

Good. Move to a free state and stand strong together.

 

[ForgeValley]

Seems to be happening with industry, and people in general. I find it both fascinating and disturbing.

Only a matter of time until we have pot states and gun states. No mystery which kind WA is. Feel bad for the rest of the state outside Seattle who has to live under their rules. Like CA a beautiful state ruined by its politics. Good for Rainier. The Balkanization continues....

It's too bad everybody can't just all enjoy the freedoms that matter to them.
Seems nobody actually likes everybody being free if it's not the free that they like.

 

[MK20]

I both welcome and dread this Balkanization.

 

[MK20]

I like freedom no matter what the flavor. But with freedom comes responsibility. It seems no one wants that.

Yeah, Move to a more gun friendly state and let the people who vote for Libtards live in fear and insecurity.

Darn, I don't live too far from them in Washington State. Every transaction I have done with them worked out well, and I was pleased with it.

While I understand and agree with their logic, it will be sad to loose such a good resource so close to where I live.

I moved to Louisiana and Texas for that very reason 22 years ago but sadly I dont think its going to last more than another 10 years in Texas. We are going to run out of states to move to. Need to find a way to start making them move out instead of us.

Working on it.

"Seems nobody actually likes everybody being free if it's not the free that they like."

^This. Perfectly stated.

I'm guessing nobody bothered to read the article.

I was just in Rainier last week and they're still there, still in business, still taking orders (including NFA shit). They ain't going anywhere. We got a lot of firearms businesses up here and if anything, most have been expanding.

It says they're opening another storefront and distribution warehouse, not moving the headquarters or closing the WA location.

When you're looking for a distribution warehouse, you want it closer to the center of the US and/or Memphis (UPS and Fedex hub). It's expensive to ship anything from WA to anywhere farther than the midwest, think about it, we're up in the goddamn corner. Shit going to FL costs more than double than say, Utah. What would you do if you were expanding your business?

We recently got saddled with some bullshit laws thanks to that motherfucker Bloomberg coming out here and buying an election, but it's all bullshit aimed at making it more difficult.

most gun owners and peaceful and loving people and that's what they don't show on TV. confiscating guns from people whose only intentions for possession is protection and sport is a complete example of misplace priority. there're millions of illegas that have to go back to their country before the election year but no one seems to bothered about that. they don't champagne and realize that's a huge problem. forcefully taking guns that are legal to own according to the constitution seems to be a more important agenda for Democrats,

You are right, we're running out of place to hide... This is because we had hope we could solve this in a more peace manner so we vote in people in public office that share common values as we all but they have failed us. Sadly.

 

[ForgeValley]

I read it. He said there were a lot of opportunities in a place like Wichita that was more gun friendly.

I expect that means substantial corporate resources are being committed to the new location, and means they won't be in Washington.

It is.

Real freedom is tough. Many people are scared of freedom because they have to make choices all on their own, take responsibility for them, and accept the consequences of those decisions whether it results in success or failure. It neither limits the good that people can achieve or the evil people can inflict.

I believe this is the reason why freedom is under constant attack. The detractors can’t or aren’t willing to accept responsibility for their lives or they take advantage of that freedom to do harm.

Sad thing is, liberals dont move out of states with freedoms and low taxes. They move to them. And then raise taxes and regulate the fuck out of everything else. Then move out to another low tax, freedom loving state when they cant afford to live in the once great state they were in.

Rinse and repeat. Theyll never realize or admit their views are a cancer.

Just send it back to them and say "that's not my house" That will screw with them for a little while.
