Why would any gun manufacturer want to stay in anti-gun territory?
Skilled workforce with institutional knowledge in a small industry that cannot be easily replaced by running an Employment Ad in the local newspaper of the new location.
I wonder what would happen to the state economy of Connecticut if they lost the gun industry.
They are one of the smallest states to begin with. If they lost Marlin, CVA, doesn't Colt still do business there?
I have wondered for a long time how, a state that one would think would value such a sustaining industry, would continue to disparage, degrade, and actively fight against it.
I've also wondered why the industry puts up with it.

Start? Jim, I think the move away from the East began more than a few years ago--Remington, Beretta, Kahr, PTR, inter alia.
The divide widens and maybe divided so far there's no coming back together unless some outside influence decides to bring this country back together...or at least temporarily.
I don' think it's a revenue issue with the anit-gun states. I look at the decisions of other states and even the Feds to destroy it's economy without regard to the future.
Maybe they're just a lot smarter and can see the future well past where I can see or even imagine.
