ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) - More than a dozen workers have driven two hours to Albany to protest a tentative deal for a gun control law they claim will cost 300 to 700 jobs.? ? ??
The workers say the issue isn't guns, but jobs. ? ? ? ??
The workers are from the Remington Arms manufacturing facility in Ilion, in the economically hard-hit Mohawk Valley. ? ??
Unionized worker Jamie Rudwall, who has a son in second grade, says Monday he was horrified by the shooting deaths at a Newtown, Conn., elementary school. But, he says, the tentative deal in Albany to tighten a ban on assault rifles will devastate the region because Remington and its 1,200 workers fuel the economy. ? ?
Assemblyman Marc Butler, who represents the region, says legislators are using secret meetings to trample the Second Amendment.
