[QUOTE="Shadowrider, post: 2145389, member: 3099"] You know it's really sad if you are a history buff. Massachusetts, Illinois, New York, Pennsylvania and others all had many armories that actually made it possible for our country happen at all. Springfield Armory was largely responsible for the American manufacturing prowess that made us a super power. It all started with the making of arms, powder and canon in the new England states. It also continued for years and years in the search for the ability to make gun parts that would interchange and that took until after the civil war. The roots of machine making that allowed us to become what we did all lies in the making of arms. When Springfield Armory was shuttered in 1968 we were the largest exporter of machine tools in the world. A mere 20 years later we were the largest importer. These commie pukes probably don't know this or even care. [/QUOTE]
