Elections have consequences:
The firearms manufacturer made the decision to scratch Virginia off the list after the McAuliffe campaign fixated on restricting gun owners’ rights after receiving over $1 million in campaign donations from billionaire New York City Mayor Mike Bloomberg.
“The anti-gun ads that McAuliffe ran in northern Virginia were particularly offensive,” Jeff Reh, general counsel of Beretta USA, told me in an interview. “And the fact that he could gain a voting advantage by doing so caused us additional concern.”

Perhaps they should consider Tennessee, Alabama, Mississippi, South Carolina, Louisiana, or any number of pro-gun states. Chattanooga wouldn’t be a bad choice, we have Amazon and Volkswagen, we’re also 2-hours away from Nashville, Knoxville, and Atlanta.
Does anyone know if gun manufacturers ship their weapons by plane or truck?
