Remington Arms Company has been sold!

Better question is why can't we make anything in the USA and make a profit. Remington had some serious issues with its retirement funding from defined benefit plans that it had in place for quite some time. American workers are not willing to work without benefits such as retirement and health care. Those are two of the issues that have Ford, GM, and Chrysler in hot water.

Health care, retirement, and regulation are some of the reasons why manufacturing businesses go overseas for their labor. Americans don't look at where things are made before they buy them, they only look at how much something costs and whether the extra cost is warranted by extra features/reliability. Almost no Americans are willing to pay extra just because something is made in America.
