An Illinois company has gone from producing specialized parts for caterpillar, Allison, etc. to producing AR-15s. They soon plan to design and produce a semi-auto pistol.
The recession slammed their business so they decided they would go with a proven winner; and with a national sales force made up of anti-firearms activists, with Barack Obama at their head, it was a no-brainer.
The only question I would have is "Why Illinois, of all places?"

Quote:
CHICAGO — The road to financial success started in H.J. Mennie's garage in rural Illinois, where the tool and die-maker built a parts manufacturing business selling to Fortune 500 companies from Caterpillar to Cummins.
...
H.J.'s children now run Mennie Machine Co., and they're turning to what they believe is the great economic equalizer: producing semiautomatic rifles and handguns to satisfy growing American demand. The factory last week shipped its first orders of the AR-15, among the most popular guns in the nation.
