Nice to see a gun company offering to help a governor who hates them

Remington Arms sent Governor Andrew Cuomo (D) a letter, offering to use its Ilion, New York, factory to build respirators during the coronavirus crisis.

KIRO 7 reported that Remington CEO Ken D’Arcy sent the letter to Cuomo, and to President Donald Trump as well.

D’Arcy explained that the offer opens up “approximately one million square feet of unused and available manufacturing space” to build respirators and other hospital necessities, the Ithaca Journal reported.

He wrote, “We would be honored to donate our facility to the production of ventilators, surgical masks, hospital beds or any other products mission-critical to the war on coronavirus.”

D’Arcy used the language Trump has used, framing the battle against the coronavirus as war. He wrote, “Ventilators are essential to winning this new kind of war and Remington stands ready to enlist in wartime production.”

Since they aren't making guns there any longer, it's nice to see them stepping up to help

Good for them!! We can definitely use the help from any company that can produce these items.

We could definitely use them.

We’re using just gloves in some cases, surgical masks in instances where we used to use N95’s and using N95’s when we should be using hoods.

Good for them! But this is not gun related or related to our mission.
