    Good job Magpul!!


    This is from Magpul

    Quote:
    Apparently Gov Hickenlooper has announced that he will sign HB 1224 on Wednesday. We were asked for our reaction, and here is what we said:

    We have said all along that based on the legal problems and uncertainties in the bill, as well as general principle, we will have no choice but to leave if the Governor signs this into law. We will start our transition out of the state almost immediately, and we will prioritize moving magazine manufacturing operations first. We expect the first PMAGs to be made outside CO within 30 days of the signing, with the rest to follow in phases. We will likely become a multi-state operation as a result of this move, and not all locations have been selected. We have made some initial contacts and evaluated a list of new potential locations for additional manufacturing and the new company headquarters, and we will begin talks with various state representatives in earnest if the Governor indeed signs this legislation. Although we are agile for a company of our size, it is still a significant footprint, and we will perform this move in a manner that is best for the company and our employees.


    It is disappointing to us that money and a social agenda from outside the state have apparently penetrated the American West to control our legislature and Governor, but we feel confident that Colorado residents can still take the state back through recalls, ballot initiatives, and the 2014 election to undo these wrongs against responsible Citizens

    I've followed this for the last few weeks on FB. Can't believe how that state has fallen so fast...

    Everything really has gotten out of control.


    PS I did the whole Colorado thing for a year. It wasn't amazing. Granted, I didn't really like waking up to 4' of snow outside my door and having to scrape ice off your windshield.

    Yea, I guess I am lucky I left when I did. 18 years and I loved it. It was one of the most gun friendly sates just 4 months ago. Not sure what happened. So sad.

    I wonder if LA has contacted Magpul to get them here?

    a maniac shot up a theater and booby trapped his apartment with explosives. bleeding heart liberals think if he used the shotgun (more) and the AR (less) there'd be more people alive today. don't be angry at the liberal, for they are more confused at the mechanical operation of a firearm than a kitty-cat chasing a flashlight beam.

    -snip- It was one of the most gun friendly states just 4 months ago. Not sure what happened. So sad.
    Pretty simple.

    The Downrange Radio podcast hosts Michael Bane who lives in CO. His take is that quite a number of the ultra-left have left southern CA and taken up residence in Boulder and the surrounding areas. They have installed politicians who not only do not support the 2nd Amendment, they do not listen to their constituents. As evidenced at the hearings where thousands showed up to voiced their views that additional gun controls are not needed. Those voices were not heard and in fact were dismissed as "We know what is good for you. Never mind what you think."

    This and the Bloomberg machine setting up house in CO, drafting the legislation, then pressuring the elected officials to pass these draconian laws.

    The 2014 election is going to be interesting there.

    Colorado has been a libtard retreat from Commiefornia for the past 25 years. New Mexico also. Nevada is teetering on the edge. Oregon and Washington are a bit more gun friendly, but still libtard havens as well. Arizona, Idaho, Utah and Wyoming pretty much stand alone. Montana is teetering as well. Another libtard eco-weirdo retreat from Commiefornia.

    People are moving TO the SOUTH. Texas and Georgia had significant gains. I encourage all conservatives to vote with their feet and head SOUTH too! ;)
