Gun factory in upstate New York with roots in 19th century set to close

[Collection]Remington Arms, the country's oldest gun maker, is set to close its gun factory in Ilion, New York, in March. The factory has a history dating back to the 19th century and currently employs about 270 workers. The decision to close the facility was not taken lightly, according to a letter from the company to union officials. RemArms, the current version of Remington Arms, faced temporary closures, bankruptcy, and legal pressure following the Sandy Hook school massacre.
