[quote][h=3]Associated Press[/h]ALBANY, N.Y. — More than a dozen workers have driven two hours to Albany to protest a tentative deal for a gun control law they claim will cost 300 to 700 jobs.
The workers say the issue isn't guns, but jobs.
The workers are from the Remington Arms manufacturing facility in Ilion, in the economically hard-hit Mohawk Valley.
Unionized worker Jamie Rudwall, who has a son in second grade, says Monday he was horrified by the shooting deaths at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school. But, he says, the tentative deal in Albany to tighten a ban on assault rifles will devastate the region because Remington and its 1,200 workers fuel the economy.
Assemblyman Marc Butler, who represents the region, says legislators are using secret meetings to trample the Second Amendment.

... Can we just tell all these 'common-sense' asshats to screw off now? The only thing common-sense about these attempts at gun control is it's gonna cost money, it's gonna be ineffective, and it's going to put people out of work!
Why not add this to my thread, considering it uses the same basic information about the Remington factory and the possible job layoffs?

Sorry, sorta skimmed over it and thought it was more-or-less based on just the general laws!
