According to a letter from the company to union officials, Remington gun factory in upstate New York with a history stretching back to the 19th century, is scheduled to close in March.

RemArms, the current version of Remington Arms, will close its facility in the Mohawk Valley village of Ilion around March 4.
The letter said the company "did not arrive at this decision lightly," according to the Observer-Dispatch of Utica.

The plant currently employs about 270 workers, according to union officials.

Remington, the country's oldest gun maker, began making flintlock rifles in the region in 1816. The factory site in the village dates to 1828, with many of the current buildings constructed early in the 20th century.

More recently, the company faced temporary closures in Ilion, bankruptcy, and legal pressure over the Sandy Hook school massacre. The current company no longer makes the Bushmaster AR-15 rifles used to kill 20 first-graders and six educators in the Sandy Hook shooting in Connecticut in 2012.

The Leftists decided to sue the gunmaker to put them out of business. It's one of the many tactics leftists use to destroy gun rights.

Sandy Hook was horrific, but Remington was not responsible for Sandy Hook. A mentally ill young man was.

Investors doing business as the Roundhill Group purchased the Remington-branded gun-making business, including operations in Ilion and Lenoir City, Tennessee for $13 million. Owners announced plans in 2021 to move the company's headquarters to Georgia.
