I called the rep for the area and told them they were an uneducated buffoon and I could prove it. They declined to take me up on the proving session. I also told them I would be taking my tax paying butt out of CO when this passed.

I sincerely hope Magpul moves and those idiots notice it.

Speaking of, as soon as I get word back from the lawyer and the unemployment office I'm going job hunting in Montana. Eff this communist hell hole (Denver Metro area).

The way I understand it they kind of have to if they want to continue to produce the PMAGs (and this has the secondary effect of ensuring Magpul will remain WAY behind on mags what with the hassle of moving production).

The hippies will love it of course, it's one less EEEEVVVVVIIIIILLLLLLL gun stuff maker and they don't mind losing revenue for that.

Hell, lets help them move their factories north and then wall off Wyoming/Montana/Idaho before the locusts are lured to our prosperity.

It's being fought at the state level alright.

I enjoy listening to this guy.

Doug Smith, chief operating officer of the Colorado-based ammunition magazine manufacturer Magpul, said the measure would force his company to leave Colorado and take with it an estimated $85 million in potential spending this year.
"Passage would devastate the company," he said of the measure.

They could move one state to the west. That would be one more reason for me to move to the Beehive State!

They'd certainly be welcome here. We already have some bullet and ammunition manufacturers in the state. Why does it seem the majority of firearms related manufacturing is behind enemy lines, so to speak? Supply chain reasons? Transportation?

I just heard news it was amended to 15 rounds?

Sounds like there's some cracks showing.

State Rep. Mike McLachlan, D- Durango, who sits on the committee, offered the amendment to, he said, allow citizens to protect themselves.
"Fifteen is a reasonable number, and this is what I'm going to ask in my amendment," McLachlan said.

Color me skeptical. I'm thinking someone with some pull has a 15 round handgun.

Established in places that were previously pro-freedom but have since been overrun and subverted by the progressives.

Iowa will welcome them with open arms. We had similar study files brought to the judiciary committee this week in the Iowa House and they promptly died there.

Magpul can come to AZ. We have lots of mom-n-pop AR manufacturers here, as well as Ruger.

The bill says that if an individual already owns a high-capacity magazine on the effective date of the bill's becoming law, then that individual may retain it. Prosecutors would bear the burden of proof that an owner violated the new stricture.

Um... travel out of state and buy more mags, with cash.

As long as they aren't stamped with a manufactured date, Prosecutors can't prove $#!+.

So, in essence one more unenforceable law on the books, put in just so busy-body politicians can turn to their constituents and say "I'm-a tough on teh evil gunz!!!", nevermind disruption of legitimate commerce and infringement upon the exercise of a Right.

It'll suck if Magpul gets even farther behind on pmags because of this, but I hope the CO morons get voted out by all the people that hurts economically.

Kgbsquirrel: Armscor in Montana is hiring gunsmith types last I heard.

I left Colorado in 1997

On my occasional visit back down there, I am reminded why I left.

Hey MagPul, we have a brand new industrial park in Lubbock just itching for new tenants.

The good news is that they are getting to the saturation point of complete unenforcibility for the BS stuff. Look how small time thieves and such get off now with virtually nothing. Keep a low profile and LE ignores you for the most part. They are too busy catching the dumb criminals...

Stetson · « **Reply #18 on:** February 14, 2013, 06:14:12 PM »

The group, Mayors Against Illegal Guns or whatever they are calling themselves, tout that background checks have kept guns out of the hands of thousands of criminals. Calls to the CO legislature asking where the prosecution of these criminals, for lying on the forms, can be researched or seen or whatever, is met with uncomfortable silence. I would ask my Sate rep but they won't answer the phone.

Just a few hours drive and a few uhaul trucks. Texas will welcome new industrial citizens. Rick Perry and Ted Cruz are already saying what Texas citizens want. Bring your jobs here.
