Will Springfield Armory be moving to a new state?

“…The Illinois Senate on Monday passed its version of the "Protect Illinois Communities Act," which would ban so-called assault weapons and high-capacity magazines from being manufactured or sold in the state…”

“…The Protect Illinois Communities Act must go back to the state House for reconciliation before it is sent to Gov. Pritzker's desk...”

Second Amendment groups warn of Illinois gun control bill heading to governor's desk

Well this will most certainly reduce the amount of shootings in Chicago, glad to see it’s all under control now and everyone is safe.

Given what we have seen these firearm companies weather to not relocate, I wouldnt be surprised if they lean on their manufacturing in Brazil and Croatia to make the things Illinois bans and sidestep the whole thing while continuing to let those trying to bankrupt them suckle at their teat. The same as Colt, Kimber, Smith and Wesson, etc.

Yeah, I'd Mayflower that whole operation. Then I think I'd do an Israeli thing and blow it in place or demolish the entire facility. Then maybe sell it to DOE for nuke waste storage or something.
