The village in New York's Mohawk Valley, known for producing firearms for two centuries, faces an uncertain future as Remington, the iconic gun manufacturer, plans to leave. The departure of Remington, which began its operations in the village over 200 years ago, is expected to have significant impacts on the local community that has long been associated with the production of rifles and shotguns. The community, which has a tradition of blue-collar work centered around the massive firearms factory, is now left to ponder the socioeconomic consequences of the company's exit.

I imagine a future full of based, pretty little Appalachian towns with a Landcruiser 70 in every garage, a Winchester 70 over every mantel and silvo-pastured Appalachian beef on every table.
