Lawmaker Invites Remington to Oklahoma



OKLAHOMA CITY – In light of a New York ban on assault rifles, state Rep. Dan Kirby said today he would like to invite Remington to consider Oklahoma as a gun manufacturing location.

“I was just reading about the backlash from an Ilion, N.Y., Remington gun factory and I wanted to get the word out that many Oklahoma lawmakers would welcome gun manufacturing jobs in our state and would like an opportunity to talk to Remington about our incentive programs and friendly business climate.”

Kirby said Oklahoma has a deeply embedded gun culture and will unlikely ever consider any type of ban on guns.

“Support for Second Amendment rights is bipartisan and overwhelming,” said Kirby. “Really, I think most Oklahomans would be proud to welcome gun manufacturers to the state.”

Kirby noted that Oklahoma has several manufacturing incentives available to companies that bring jobs to the state such as the Oklahoma Quality Jobs Act and a 5-year property tax exemption for manufacturers. State lawmakers have enacted lawsuit reform in past year and are working this year to reform the state workers’ compensation system.

“You can’t get much more business-friendly,” said Kirby.

    2. They won't because we'll have guns to fight back. That's the point of the Second Amendment. If guns are illegal, the only folks with guns are criminals and evil people.

  2. Not to mention how handy this would be for your proposed bill making guns made in OK exempt from any federal firearm regulations. Stay classy Cockroth.

    You mention manufacturing incentives - $1.76 billion. How about chipping away at that behemoth instead of picking on a measly 4 mil from OAC...

  5. Josh, on your twitter account you call yourself a Christ follower. Prove it by reading Matthew Chapter 5. Then tell us what it says. If you can't do that, then please stop calling yourself a Christ Follower.

    1. What on earth does Matthew 5 have to do with standing up for your God-given rights? Jesus certainly didn't believe in pacifism. He called the leaders of his time "snakes."

    2. What? Murder? Defending yourself with lethal for when necessary is not murder.
