Your statement is not grounded in the truth. Remnington did not shut down because of government interference. They employed a grand total of 100 people in NY. Hardly the "economic engine of its community"

They shutdown because they sold 7.5 million guns that could fire without someone pulling the trigger and 60 minutes exposed it.

And you should know that their building is being converted into a 250,000 sqft AI data center. So it's not like employment is just lost in the area.
