Arkansas lands another gun manufacturer

Doc
CZ-USA announced today it is building a new Corporate HQ and manufacturing facility in Little Rock that will open in a year and eventually employ 565 people. Minimum starting wage will be $22 per hour. A number of gun and ammo companies have moved to AR in the past few years with state and local government openly courting them to relocate. Ready work force, right to work state, favorable gun laws, cheap land and good tax structure attracts them.

Here's a list of companies that I could think of. I'm sure I'm forgetting some.

Thermold Mags HQ & manufacturing
Daisy BB guns HQ & manufacturing
Remington ammo manufacturing
Sig-Sauer ammo manufacturing
Wilson Combat HQ & manufacturing
Nighthawk Custom Firearms HQ & manufacturing
Federal ammunition manufacturing
Walther U.S. HQ and manufacturing

    Ironically, Arkansas is the host state of the first Gun Control Act, in 1934....and if memory serves me correct, it was about some poor soul that had a shotgun that was too short for the King, and he couldn't afford a lawyer to fight it.

    years ago i heard of a smaller firearm mfg looking for a better place to expand so i mailed them that if they chose here i would give them 10 acres if they hired/trained people from our county.....one spot was 1/2 mile east of town and the other choice was 3 miles north and 1/2 mile off of a US highway ...no luck....no real workforce or housing available here and some other negative points.... i tried

    I tried that once too with a different industry....the same results, now that piece of land is priceless :shock: :lol: ......now days they (companies) want the taxpayers to float bonds to furnish the land, new building, paving, utilities, etc. etc.....as in "free" with no financial obligations to themselves (sports affiliates and their new stadiums are the worst con jobs) and politicians fall for this crap and sign on to it.........never had anyone "set" me up without obligations :cry: .

    When Obama was elected the entire state assembly was a DEMOCRAT supermajority. All 4 congressman and senators were DEMOCRATs as well. As typical of states with DEMOCRAT governance, AR was high on the list to states with poor business climate due to oppressive regulations and extremely high taxes. AR was an agrarian/service economy. Growth was practically nil.

    The 2010 and 2012 elections purged the socialists and the entire state became solid GOP. As typical of states with GOP majorities, not only has there been a number of pro 2A laws passed, but taxes are being reduced exponentially. Under DEMOCRAT, control AR had one of the highest corps taxes. GOP substantially reduced them.

    Arkansans have seen substantial reductions and terminations of oppressive regulations from years of DEMOCRAT power. Income taxes have been reduced substantially and the state also eliminated income taxes imposed by DEMOCRATS on retired military. Governor Hutchison and the GOP assembly is promising more tax reductions
