Connecticut gun-grabbers are now perplexed that a gun maker is leaving their state.
One gun maker is leaving Bristol, Connecticut due to the state’s
tightened gun control laws that came in the wake of last year’s horrific
Sandy Hook school shooting.
PTR Industries, a company that builds high-end semi-automatic rifles
at a factory in Bristol, Conn., is relocating to Aynor, South Carolina
for its more-friendly gun rights laws, according to vice president of
sales John McNamara. Meanwhile, a new Quinnipiac University poll
released this week shows 57% of Connecticut residents are in favor of
the state’s new gun law.
Connecticut State Senator Beth Bye, who championed the gun-control
legislation, called it “ironic” that PTR would announce its move on the
same day the poll came out.
Bye says the new law did not prevent PTR from manufacturing in the state.
