Alaska is so far out of the way of any natural metal resources used in the mass production of firearms that it would be far too inconvenient. Better to stick it in a contiguous state.
Alaska
Is shipping metal ignots really that expensive in the US? Hungary is a landlocked country without any significant mining industry and so all of our metals have to be imported, yet it doesn't affect negatively our industry.
In English we would say negatively affect.
Would trade in a heartbeat.
You've also got people and developed infrastructure, however. Alaska isn't that populated and most of the existing economy is centered around things besides metal refinement. It doesn't make very much sense for a company to build a factory that will always be more expensive to supply, near-impossible to supply in the winter, will never run above a tiny fraction of full capacity (you're supppyijj a very small group, if you produce any faster it would just have to be shipped back), and is thousands of miles out of the way of the rest of your supply chain.
Could it be done and still turn a profit? Possibly, but you're incurring a bunch of new costs and a lot of hassle for no real benefit. Oh yeah, and you're asking about firearms specifically: as guns are a durable good and aren't replaced all that often, you're going to reach market saturation after only a few production runs, and your output would drop even more.
Not really they arent friendly in a fuck off white man sort of way but they keep to themselves
I'd imagine being a state trooper or a deputy in Alaska would be very cozy

Here's the "fuck you ATF" law if anyone's interested. So as I read it, any firearm constructed in the state from "basic materials" is protected from federal regulation as long as you slap "made in Alaska" on it. So to manufacture and AR and still be a good goy in the eyes of the law, you'd have to buy a bar of aluminum (which does not have to originate in AK) and machine it yourself. A strict reading of the law suggests that 80% lowers are technically OK to import, because they don't meet the definition for either "firearm" or "firearm accessory" as defined by the law, but I'm not an attorney, and it's a gray area, so if you want to stay legal (which of course you do, because we're all law abiding citizens) test the waters at your own risk.
And yeah, yeah, even with state protection chances are this law is purely symbolic since alphabet soup thinks laws are for other people, and trying to challenge them on that subject in the courts is a big fucking risk that's unlikely to pay off. But it's the thought that counts.
Bugging out takes a whole different meaning.

The purpose of food is to not starve, you retard. If you get fat (while in a situation where food isn't plentiful like innawoods) then you're winning.
