Over 400 jobs and $31 million in taxes will
go to a more gun friendly state...
New legislation is forcing gun manufacturing company Beretta to uproot and take their business elsewhere.
Established in 1526, Beretta holds the distinction of being the
oldest active firearms manufacturer in the world. The U.S. factory is
located in Accokeek, Maryland, and has been a staple of the local
economy for years.
Beretta warned that stricter gun control laws would push the company
outside of state lines, but that didn’t stop Maryland legislators.
Jeffrey Reh, a spokesman for Beretta who also serves as the President of
Stoeger Industries under Beretta, announced that the company would
begrudgingly uproot and take its business elsewhere. He said, “We don’t
want to do this, we’re not willing to do this, but obviously this
legislation has caused us a serious level of concern within our
company.”
He added that Beretta paid approximately $31 million in taxes,
employs 400 people, and had invested $73 million in the business over
the past several decades. Despite being such a prominent player in the
local economy, Beretta was unable to prevent legislators from passing
tighter gun control laws. Ironically, Beretta manufactures some firearms
that are now banned in Maryland.
