I suspect it's because when those companies were founded the New England area was not particularly "liberal". Political Liberalism (is that a word?) didn't come until much later. Remington was the first, located in NY. Today, most "New England" gun manufacturers have moved to more gun friendly states, including North and South Carolina, Texas and others. Even in your state Beretta closed its Maryland plant and moved all US production to Gallatin, Tennessee.. |

Maybe because it is an industry that started during colonial times when there was nothing but indians and cotton farmers living anywhere else? |
