In terms of market size—as measured by revenue—the Guns and Ammunition Manufacturing industry sits at $21.1 billion annually, as of 2022. According to IBISWorld, a comprehensive industry-market research database, the market size of the Guns and Ammunition Manufacturing industry in the U.S. continues to increase faster than the country’s manufacturing sector overall. The primary factors affecting the industry’s growth are local and state government investment and non-NATO defense spending.

Dark Storm Industries, a New York-based firearms manufacturer specializing in sporting rifles, announced in 2021 its plans to relocate manufacturing from New York to Titusville, Fla. and to expand its operations into the Sunshine State. In a press release, the company’s CEO stated: “The combination of economics and a friendlier political environment made the decision to build our new headquarters and manufacturing plant in Florida an easy one.”

Not long afterwards in 2014, Remington Arms—also citing New York’s tough gun control laws—made the decision to expand into Alabama. Remington, having operated in New York since 1816, described New York’s state policies as “affecting use of our products.” More recently in 2021, Remington Firearms announced it would transfer its global headquarters to Georgia.

There are some very high quality smaller manufacturers already located in red states as well. The government should really think twice about forcing people into two separate countries. That is a slope that gets real slippery

Magpul was one of the most outspoken and early ones (CO to TX/WY).
