When legislators in Connecticut and other northeastern states that are part of "Gun Valley" passed more restrictive gun laws, firearm makers let it be known they wanted to move to more friendly locales. Southern states with loose gun regulations launched a bidding war to lure the companies. The biggest beneficiary of these auctions was Remington, which received $68.9 million to relocate a plant from New York to Alabama. Other big winners included Sturm, Ruger & Co., which received $9.4 million in subsidies to open a plant in North Carolina, and Italian-owned Beretta, whose path from Maryland to Tennessee was paved with $2.4 million.
