(Gateway Pundit) – Having been ordered to shut down by Governor Cuomo, Ilion, NY based Remington Arms, makers of a variety of legendary firearms, have offered up their manufacturing facility to both Cuomo and President Trump to make medical supplies to cope with the coronavirus outbreak.
In a video posted on their facebook page, Remington CEO Ken D’Arcy explains that Remington firearms have been used in every American war over the past 200+ years, and they aren’t sitting this one out. While recognizing this is a new type of war, D’Arcy says they have 1 million square feet of manufacturing and distribution space, and they are ready to get to work churning out whatever is needed to help hospitals. “We are standing by, ready, willing, and able to support in any way we possibly can. It would be an honor for our company to donate space for the manufacture of mission critical products, such as ventilators, hospital beds, or anything else deemed necessary.”
The Associated Press reports that Remington has also filed a request to be deemed “essential” so they could continue making firearms as well.
Flashback: MyPillow Making Face Masks For Hospitals During Coronavirus Pandemic
MyPillow, the Minnesota manufacturer of specialty pillows, linens, and other household products, said that it is answering the call for more face masks as the country continues to deal with the global coronavirus pandemic.
The company announced Tuesday on Twitter that it is making face masks for hospitals across the country. MyPillow joins a growing list of private companies pitching in to address the shortage of face masks that U.S. healthcare professionals are facing as the number of COVID-19 cases continues to climb.

It remains unclear what kind of face mask MyPillow is making. Healthcare professionals are asking for the N95 respirator mask, which are in short supply around the country. The N95 face mask provides a more snug fit than other kinds of surgical masks, providing better protection from airborne pathogens.
A MyPillow spokesperson didn’t immediately respond to a request for comment.
Companies including 3M and Honeywell are set to manufacture millions of additional N95 respirator masks to protect doctors, nurses and other health care workers who are treating patients with coronavirus. Apple CEO Tim Cook recently said his company will donate millions of face masks to the U.S. and Europe.
Our teams at Apple have been working to help source supplies for healthcare providers fighting COVID-19. We’re donating millions of masks for health professionals in the US and Europe. To every one of the heroes on the front lines, we thank you.
