To show there's no hard feelings, I ordered a product today from an very old Massechusetts company.
The Smith & Wesson Model 340, the tiny, ultralight, .357 magnum revolver with a scandium alloy frame and titanium cylinder. Only 12 little ounces.
I was just looking at one last week at the gun shop. My thought was it would be nice if it weighed a little more:-)
You wanna hear something really f-ed up and typical of MA. MA passed there last illogical laws essentially banning most handguns but wheel gun unless there were "MA approved." This meant the many gun companies in the region would have to totally alter their manufacturing process and or design of their guns to sell in MA. Unless a gun is on the "MA approved list" is can't be sold here. Most companies simply can't afford to do it nor is it worth it for them to do for one state. Thus, you have companies who employ many people and pay taxes here, yet can't sell their products in their own state where they do business. And people wonder why MA has lost companies by the dozens and was the ONLY state last year that lost population. At the moment, the only brands we can purchase that are "MA approved" are SnW, a few Sigs, and a few Berreta's and that's about it for pistols. I think Para has made a few "MA compliant" pistols currently being "evaluated" by the state. This is clearly defacto gun control and illigal.

Please tell the good folks at Smith & Wesson, and the other firearms companies in Massechusetts, that Nevada has lots of cheap land, low taxes, a large available work force, and business friendly state and local governments.
