This just rubs me wrong,:
$16,000 per sniper rifle for the U.S. Military? $80,000,000 in tax payer money over ten years, when it just so happens that Remington had a smaller request in for who knows what, at a time in history where we are seeing unprecedented demand for ammo and weaponry? Riddle me this, Remington-You're going to stay in a provocatively anti-2nd Amendment State when the rest of your pals are headed for cover....too big to fail, or just a slave to the machine? Has me wondering, who is scratching whos back here? NY woke up and realized that they had better not lose all the gun mfgs, the tax revenues from the employees and products sold is a good stream...but I highly doubt that the income stream is all NY was concerned about losing.
