New Britain: Mark Malkowski will celebrate 10 years in business in his NB factory. Under other circumstances, he might expect the governor to drop by to celebrate the unlikely story of the local kid who opened a factory at age 24 in a city desperate for jobs.
Malkowski, now a boyish 34, is president of Stag Arms, a company located in a complex of unmarked buildings. Its only products are a line of black semiautomatic rifles that Gov. Dannel P. Malloy wants to make illegal to sell and difficult to possess in Connecticut.
The rifles are Malkowski's version of the AR-15, the weapon Adam Lanza used to kill 20 first-graders and six women at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Oklahoma is the latest state to woo a CT gun maker here in NB, telling it to bring over its manufacturing plant and jobs. Mark Malkowski, president of New Britain-based Stag Arms, said he's been contacted by Oklahoma's Department of Commerce, urging him to move.
Mark Malkowski said CT is our home and we have never taken these letters seriously in the past. But if a ban (on assault weapons) would take place, the idea would certainly be on the table.
Stag Arms opened here in New Britain, Ct almost 10 years ago and employs nearly 200 people.
