[QUOTE="n2sooners, post: 2150424, member: 26539"] I think it's because they deemed GM too big to fail, but they are ready to take down nearly the entire gun industry. And the gun industry also effects other markets. Magpul pulling out of Colorado is going to negatively effect their plastics industry, and that is a relatively small company. It wasn't the entire auto industry, it was just GM and Chrysler. And GM and Chrysler wouldn't have gone away completely. They would have just gone through bankruptcy (which they did anyway) but it would have gone according to the law with investors being in line first and the American taxpayers not being on the hook for billions of dollars to bail out the auto unions. Fact is, it wasn't a bailout of the auto industry at all, it was a bailout of the auto unions and we got stuck with the tab. Ford didn't participate in the bailouts and is doing fine, Chrysler is no longer a US company, and many 'foreign' automobiles are manufactured here in the US. A little off topic, but they are willing to stick it to the taxpayers to save the unions but when it comes to the gun industry, jobs suddenly aren't so important. [/QUOTE]
