Smith & Wesson relocating headquarters to Maryville Tennessee

Gun manufacturer Smith & Wesson Brands is moving its headquarters to Blount County, and bringing $125 million and 750 jobs with it to East Tennessee.

Smith & Wesson will become Blount County's eighth-largest employer.

Recruiting one of the world's largest gun manufacturers is a regional and statewide economic win. Tennessee is home to 20 small arms and ammunition manufacturers and Smith & Wesson's arrival will make Tennessee No. 1 for employment in the industry, according to the Tennessee Department of Economic & Community Development.

Reason: he called to tell me our sweet uncle died.

My brother lives in Knoxville; told him we were traveling to NYC to protest Trump. Not really to protest the orange bloated asshole but to see our son who lives in the Big Apple.

Now, brother & I are no longer speaking....and, I seriously do not care. Even blocked his phone.

But greed and bigotry have a respected home in Tennessee. Now thanks to the rethugs and their supermajority, they can remove the government that says equality and replace it with the oligarchy that we now have in other red states. And, they want this for the world. There is no better reason to never, ever vote for a rethug again after this debacle. But, as Alfred Pennyworth once noted, "Some people just want to watch the world burn."
