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

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.
