SYRACUSE, N.Y. -- One hundred and five people will be laid off at Remington Arms in Ilion, Sen. James Seward's office confirmed this afternoon.
The layoffs are part of the gun maker's plans to move two assembly lines to Alabama, which was announced in May, Seward's office said.

NY. Not surprising they would move.

If new york doesnt want them there they should leave and take their jobs and tax revenue with them.

They will move and still manufacture weapons, just in a friendlier state. I am sure others will continue to move.
