    • Abstract:
      RemArms specifically attributed its decision to move to a New York law passed in 2021 that would bypass blanket immunity provided to gun-makers under federal law, and make it easier to bring civil lawsuits against gun companies. "It's the gun industry saying, 'Well, we have fewer hunters and more people who want guns for self-defense - of course we're going to advertise accordingly.'" The connection between those messages and ideas about masculinity is deep-about In the late 1910s, ads for Winchester maintained that "real boys" deserved to own a gun. For RemArms worker Brown, one of the ironies of the company's indicating it will move to a state friendlier to gun owners is that Ilion is a place where people love guns. States in the South and West are offering millions in incentives to gun companies and loosening laws around gun ownership to show their fealty to gun culture, even as gunmakers have raked in $3 billion in profits since the pandemic began.
