Remington's Alabama Move..more controversy?

According to the article in The Christian Science Monitor we may see even more gun manufactures headed our way.

 "That clash between gun makers and lawmakers under girds a massive recalibration of arms manufacturing in the US, with companies like Beretta, Ruger, Remington, Mossberg, Stag Arms, and Magpul making plans to downsize their presence in states that are perceived as unfriendly, while building state-of-the art plants in regions and states with lower labor costs, bigger tax incentives, and, critically, fewer uncertainties about gun-control regulations."

Remington’s move is the biggest one so far and may be the first of several involving northern manufacturers heading to the South.

What does this mean for us?  When could we be seeing more Gun Manufacturing plants relocating to our state? How many more jobs will these moves create?

Memorial Day Meaning, Facts, and Celebration Ideas

In 1864, a group of women in Pennsylvania began visiting the graves of the deceased soldiers from the Civil War, placing flowers on them in memory of their service. In 1866, after word spread about visiting and decorating the graves, women in Mississippi began doing the same thing. This is one story of how the day became known first as 'Decoration Day', later changed to Memorial Day.  On May 5, 1868, General John Logan made the day official. Flowers were placed on the graves of both Union and Confederate soldiers at the Arlington National Cemetery. After World War II, it became a day to honor all deceased veterans of any war or service instead of just those who had died in the Civil War. It never became a national holiday, as some think it to be. Rather, it became a Federal holiday to allow Civil War veterans the opportunity to help decorate graves at cemeteries without losing any pay.

No matter what you do on Memorial Day with your family or friends, take some time to remember the true meaning of the holiday: to honor the deceased veterans who have served our country and fought for our freedoms.

Without their sacrifices, we wouldn't be the great country we are today!
