Magpul and leaving Colorado followthrough

Could be wrong but I don't think the bill makes it illegal to manufacture the mags, just illegal to sell them in CO. The height of hypocrisy. Sure we want your tax dollars just don't sell your nasty products here. Can you imagine Virginia and the Carolinas banning the sale of cigarettes?
 
The original bill made it illegal to manufacturer and sell magazines larger than 15 rounds. However when Magpul threatened to pull up stakes the bill was modified to allow for manufacture but no retail sales in CO of magazines larger than 15 rounds. I think Magpul's reply was if you ban sales we're leaving anyway because CO would still require a serial number on every may larger than 15 rounds for proof of manufacturer date. I imagine it wouldn't take long to relocate to Cheyenne, and WY would be happy to have them.
 
I am a Colorado resident.I hope Magpul understand our politicians DO NOT represent the will of the people,they represent their own self interests.

I hope as soon as Magpul gets the presses up and running,they begin a special project,the 15 round "Colorado" series.

Msake them for AR-15's,AR-10's,LR308's,and make lots of them.

I hope they will offer a special price on 7-paks ,maybe $75 or so,and just flood Colorado with them.

Beyond the inconvenience and my "things" ,I have a very large problem with a government that takes steps to criminalize peaceful,law abiding citizens.

I am not a legal scholar,but I also hope someone like Mark Levin and Landmark Legal Foundation will challenge this in court.

And folks in Colorado,we have an election in 2014 .Fire them.Keep a list of every name of every politician that did not actively fight this,believe no more of their lies,remember this forever,become active in politics and FIRE THEM!

As many gun owners as are in Colorado we are powerful if we stick together.
Right now,in a very loud voice,we must let the Governor know,you sign that bill,you are FIRED!

Not trying to pick a fight but when both houses and the governor easily draft and promise to sign, I'd say that conflicts with your statement.
 
...and I am sure some states will be making serious overtures to entice Magpul to choose their state with very tempting offers. I wouldn't be surprised if some states even offer incentives for their employees to make the move there too.

Magpul has made a few statements about having the contingency fully worked out, and ready to be put into action immediately.

To me, that sounds like they already know where they're headed, but don't want to say it.
 
I'll bet a lot of governors and state legislatures in gun friendly states would offer big tax breaks to Magpul. They'd get more jobs and they'd be building up their pro 2nd Amendment credentials.
 
Magpul doesn't just make magazines

I just visited Magpul' s site to drop them a little note showing my support and letting them know I'm buying my magazines from them from now on.

I clicked on their products and wow! They making everything from rails to iPhone cases..
 
FWIW, I received this in an email from One Source Tactical:

"We received the tragic news that the state of Colorado had gone over to the dark side and embraced the ways of Mordor. For an entire day we have been reading debates and rhetoric. Our good friends at MagPul will be leaving the state and moving to the free state of Nevada. We congratulate them on their choice and we will continue to support them via the sales and endorsement of their products. "
 
Nevada.

Not a bad idea. And maybe they will be the force that tips the balance, so that Harry Reid is never again elected to the US Senate.

Suarez jumped the gun on that one. Magpul has not made any announcement.

From their Facebook page:

It appears that someone has posted or sent out some sort of notice that we are moving to a specific location. We can assure you that no decision has been made about location, and that we are still fighting this battle. We are, however, assembling our requirements and looking at various areas that would be suitable for our new home, should it come to that. We appreciate all the offers, and we will begin talking to various entities about those shortly.

zinc warrior;We have no cause to fight,you are fine.

You live in Texas.I don't know too much about Texas,been a long time since I lived there.

We have an urban corridor along I-25.Denver,Boulder,maybe Colorado Springs,are a different world/culture from the rest of the state.

Through recent redistricting,my new District includes Boulder,and the Representative is Polis,a Dem worth about 69 million dollars who is liberal.Nothing I do or say will be listened to.I no longer have representation.

Does Austin represent Texas?

For Bill Clinton's second term,only 59 million people voted.There were 89 million gun owners at the time.

We are qite a powerful political force,we can make changes.We can fire people.We have to know that,we have to do more than belly ache among ourselves.

I expect the opposition to behave the way they do,I put the failure on those who do nothing.All that is necessary for evil to triumph is for good men to do nothing.

Nevada could do so much worse than Harry Reid. To have a Democratic majority leader who is not anti-gun is like hitting the jackpot for a relatively small state like Nevada. Beyond merely getting a seat, being at the head of the table of our enemies is priceless.
 
Hmm, maybe I was a bit hasty about Reid. I actually forgot that he is not hard over against gun ownership.

However, there are a few other political positions of his that I dislike. But, this not being the right thread for that, I'll not mention it further.

I'm hoping they move a few hundred miles east to Nebraska- we have pretty good tax breaks for new businesses in the state.

Somebody needs to put a bug in Heineman's ear.....
 
Magpul is welcome in gun friendly Kentucky. We're not that close to Colorado but we are centrally located in relation to most of the population of the continental U.S. besides the West Coast. Both Amazon and UPS have found that important when they located major distribution centers and hubs here.
 
Completely fascinating how the states are dividing ideologically.

Colorado used to be conservative state full of independant, self reliant people .... then when Californians soiled their own nest with unsustainable government growth that required ridiculously high taxes, many fled to the Front Range of Colorado, and immediately proceeded to remake it in the image of the failed state they had just left ........ natives called them "Snowflakes" ...... they were pretty when they first blew in over the mountains, but now that they are neck deep in them from Ft. Collins to CO Springs, they are not that popular.
 
Same thing happened in Maine and New Hampshire, with mostly Bostonians doing the damage; Vermont, with mostly New Yorkers doing the damage; Florida, with mostly New Yorkers doing the damage.

Center and West, it's mostly California's influence. Happened all along coastal Oregon and Washington.

Basically, if you live someplace that has beautiful scenery and relatively low prices, you are eventually likely to get overwhelmed by wealthy ex-Blue Staters, who can't wait to terraform your area.
