View Full Version : Boycott Colorado movement

With all this Gun Control madness and infringement on our rights I would like to hit our tormentors back where it hurts. The best place to hit our oppressors is by taking away their revenue stream. I would like to see a movement nationwide where gun right supporters outright banned the purchase of Colorado products. This would include tourism such as hunting, snow sports and just plain tourism. I realize that not everyone would comply but just the threat of the of 10 percent of revenue would send a message to our State legislators. Our progressive Demonrats in seats right now are squirming with delight as they attempt to rule us, but we could knock em out of office by cutting off the money. Heck just a well organized threat of a boycott nation wide could send a message. Just my rant early in the morning, but the only thing that wake up other voters is a financial impact.

Alaska, Montana, or Wyoming is starting to look mighty good about now.
I understand where your heads at, but by the time the Dems felt the impact we'll be voting them out and Colorado residents will have already suffered

Are you kidding? Seriously, you don't think that for each gun support letter they got they got 3 wanting them banned? And as far as boycotting CO goes, they really could care less, give it a year with Marijuana being legal and see how much tax revenue that makes. They don't care about Magpul threatening to leave, Magpul is the devil in these dems eyes.

I feel the same. I cant belive this is happening to Co.
I would like to say that I did not see this coming, but the truth is that this is more than a decade in the making. We have been going this way for a long time on a path that mirrors the influx of Californians moving into Colorado. Wherever I end up I am going to introduce legislation banning people to move there or buy property there without passing a basic ethics tests that indicate if they are a brain damaged liberal.
Believe it, the battles being fought right now are the death throws of CO. Couple rounds of dem controlled redistricting, pushing away the right through gun restrictions, legalized weed (which despite my views on is still going to be a giant magnet for lefties) its the perfect storm. The cracks are in the levee and I don't think there's anything that's gonna patch them up.
another 2 months and ill be out of colorado . the writing is on the wall , legal drugs = no guns , its only a matter of time

I told my wife to start looking for places in WY, MT, and ID.
She can do her job anywhere and I will find work somehow, somewhere.
I dont have the words how pissed I am that this beautiful state where I was
born and raised has been transformed into a whirrling vortex of socialist clusterfuck-dom.
If it passes, we are out....
Any warm states that are better? I'm not only sick of the BS but the weather sucks too.

Just posted to facebook this morning, hopefully influencing the 160+ friends not to come here for vacation, hunting or mountain sports. I then asked them to cut and paste my words and put them on their pages. Viral? Maybe, or maybe not, but at least it's a start...

No, I don't. In fact I wouldn't be surprised if for every letter of support they got for a ban they got 10 opposing.
That won't impact the die hard leftards in Denver that will vote away our rights, but it does illustrate that most Coloradoans don't support the gun ban agenda and it very likely will damage the Democrat stranglehold on power in Denver.

the numbers wont be there to cause the state any pain.
Get this... OVER 50% of the country voted for OSAMA. That should tell you something. And of the less than 50% that didnt vote for him, some are non gun owners, some are FUDDS, who are too stupid to realize any infringement is bad. A boycott wouldnt mean shit.
and when is the last time a boycott actually worked? the far right Christians boycott shit everyday. Nothing ever happens. after the first press conference its all over. the country is too large, too fractured and the people to absorbed in their own little worlds to actually do anything.

We and the NRA are partially to blame. We let certain states get away with mag limits and that opened the door. Way back when the first mag limit came along I contacted the NRA and asked what they were going to do about this obvious infringement. Their answer then and probably still now was to work to educate and work to vote more gun friendly candidates into office. The problem is the Repubs dog also has a load of fleas just like the Dems dog, just a different kind.
This fight needs to be taken to the courts. The NRA told me they fear doing that because the feel that if we lose in court we lose it all, forever. Well the SCOTUS backed us on the last few and the same judges are still in place. We need to overturn ALL state bans in one shot. I'm aware of the constant screaming for "states rights" but that is a double edged sword. The states need to be pre-empted from passing ANY gun control laws more restrictive than federal law. We need sweeping change and voting all repub is NOT the answer and never will be and will never happen anyway. It's time to take this to the courts no matter WHAT the downsides might be.

Well, I have to leave CO this summer and I will be sending a letter to the Governor, Secretary of State, my local Senator and Rep when I do to let them know I am shaking the dust of their oppressive state off my sandals and never returning. I was planning to come back for Elk season on my last resident permit, but not if this passes the full legislature.
I find it so humorous that there are many here who at the drop of a hat would have problem popping some raghead in filthy pyjamas thousands of miles away because they have been hoodwinked to believe he poses a threat to their freedom and liberty. Yet when confronted with an enemy who is actually taking their freedom and liberty right here on US soil they won't lift a finger. As Dan Bongino said in that video I posted earlier. Action is what is needed. Words mean nothing.
Founding Fathers couldn't legislate balls.

I have a few thoughts about "leaving the state" over these laws.
Back in 2002 I left Kansas. One of the myriad of reasons I moved from Kansas to Colorado was because at the time Kathleen Sibelius was the governor. Since we've moved the backlash against the left there has been fierce and now they have one of the most conservative governors the state has ever seen (former Senator Sam Brownback). So Kansas is now very much to the right of Colorado (more than just geographically). When I moved here there was a Republican governor and concealed carry in CO, neither of which were in Kansas. So things can change and change rather rapidly (unfortunately Kansas can't grow mountains overnight so they won't win me back).
If all the decent conservative folk "take their ball and go to a new home" then Colorado is just going to get worse. California does enough damage to the culture in America we don't need a second one. Maybe the time will come for decent conservative folk to leave, but I'm not convinced that now is the time.
Aside from the changes in politics over the past few years, I really really like living here (of course the more leftward the state moves, the less I'll like it and probably the less I'll be able to afford it).
At the moment, I couldn't afford to move if my hair was on fire.
I certainly understand the desire to leave (and honestly there are days I wake up with this intense feeling that I need to pack my shit and go) but I think there is still a chance to take the state back. That said, if it doesn't happen in the next election cycle or two then I'll concede its time to go as well.

Is that a call for violent action? Short of lining up registered Democrats, popping someone closer to home won't solve anything. Probably make things worse. Voting with your feet is an option in a Constitutional Republic.

So, besides talk a bunch of shit, make a bunch of worthless threads, make enemies of everyone on this forum, what action have you actually taken?
or are you just talk too?

Classic. The exact response I would expect from your ilk. And because the subject matter of what I posted exceeds your pay grade, doesn't make it worthless. As for the use of the word "everyone". Classic Saul Alinsky. Go stand in your subjugation line.[ontopic]
I can partly agree with Melvin- although the action should be to gather people to show these stains on the mattress that their proposed legislation will not stand (I'm talking peaceful here, don't need 200 Dorners running around).
My real question is will our boycotting actually work? Look at 64, after its passing we can expect all the little stoners to flock to CO for their green fix.. I fear that will offset whatever action we do.

I guess what people in the US don't comprehend, probably because they don't read history, is tyranny and oppression are only neutralized one way.
Now if y'all think there is some country out there who is going to come dashing in to throw off the yoke of oppression being applied to us you are on the wrong planet. The US pisses away $trillions "freeing" other countries of oppression. Trust me nobody in the rest of the world is going to spend $1 to lift a finger to help anyone here. What's more if you don't want to fight for your rights, liberty and freedom, why should someone else and more important do you really deserve them? Americans don't want to do the hard stuff anymore. They are fat and lazy and self centered.

Things I love about Colorado:
1) Mountains and the outdoors
2) Was born and raised here
3) Shooting and hunting
Things I hate:
1) Political happenings
2) Population density
3) New anti gun stance
4) Land shooting closures all summer due to "fire hazard"
4) No fireworks ever
5) Living in Boulder County
6) Rising cost of living while income is staying flat
7) Tax increases
8) Voted in Obuttface (Nobody I have voted for since I got out of the military has won a single election, literally zero)
9) Emissions testing facilities
10) Hippies and libtards
11) Pot legalization
I could keep going but I am getting mad. I was born and raised here so I have watched the decay as it happened. This state is now California in the 80's and there is no stopping it. They are called progressives for a reason. If you could tell me one way to stop this swing towards complete retardation I would consider staying. I have sent email after email to get canned responses that are diametrically opposed to my views and concerns, I have showed support to rallies, NRA, RMGO and local business that supports my beliefs and where has that gotten us? It has not even slowed down. I am tired of feeling like everyone that represents me is a boner biting leftist ass hat that is completely incapable of rational thought and without a shred of moral or ethical standards. There are other states with mountains hunting and lower taxes.

The only non violent action is to take a page out of the playbook of the stoners and combine it with a page from TABOR. Use the same tactics through the referendum process and amend the CO constitution to ban all gun related legislation and overturn anything that has been created in the last 40 years. And place in it a clause that any legislator that mentions gun control be imprisoned indefinitely using the homeland security act.

I'm not leaving this state. I just moved here and I'll be real pissed if you all cut and run, we need to fight this(respectfully and peacefully) but we can come out stronger after this. This state has too much to offer in the way of jobs, outdoor activities, and beauty for me to want to leave. We just need to do everything in our power to make it a 2nd amendment friendly state.

Good job avoiding the question. And I guess your reading of history didn't enable you to comprehend the truly deep and painful suffering that another civil war will cause. It's not something to be taken up lightly. I have to move for work reasons, the current legislation just ensures I won't come back. And yes, I'm doing my best to end up in a freer state than Colorado is becoming. If you want to stay here, "behind enemy lines" so to speak, that's your choice. I'll be working to save liberty where it still exists.

This is what I'm wondering, though, HOW!? If it becomes state law and we effectively will be no longer able to purchase "hi-cap" magazines, or F2F sales w/o 4473, then what can we do then? What are our options at that point other than the obvious GTFO of here?

Well Then I guess we'll have to vote people into office that are willing to remove welfare type benefits from people so that they'll leave and we can get the state back. Fiscal responsibility and removing incentives for freeloaders should take care of two problems... we'll no longer have to pay for things we disagree with and the liberals will leave.
Maybe I'm wrong but seems like that could be a backdoor way of doing it. It'll take awhile but getting people to agree on money seems to be easier than agreeing on gun rights, it's much less of a hot button issue.
Maybe we also need to start running commercials during the daytime trash tv that highlight the benefits people can receive for doing nothing in California immediated followed by inexpensive moving company commercials. Let's ship those assclowns back to where they came from.

Just realize that THIS is exactly what the left is doing with gun laws in this state (and based on the number of "I'm leaving" posts, it seems to be working).
I don't believe there's a single Democrat in Denver that honestly believes any of these laws they are proposing will do a damn thing to make even one Coloradoan even 1% safer. But they do know if they make it uncomfortable for conservatives to live here that many will leave and then the Democrats will gain enough power here that they can rape and pillage this beautiful (and rich) state just like they did in California.

So let them keep trying and we'll do it with fiscally so we can sneak a few past them... think of it as taking a page out of their books.
Redistricting prevents an equal voice at the polls. Good luck pushing the water upstream.
I'm not sure how boycotting the tourism industry would effect the State in any appreciable way. Most of the tourist industry is privately owned.
If one really wanted to put the hurt on the State boycott the DMV, paying state taxes, property taxes, etc. Yeah, they have ways of making your life hell for it but would be more of a direct challenge to their authority.
Everyone seems to be talking about leaving. Guess I'm just stubborn, I ain't goin' nowhere anytime soon.

I don't think Colorado is going to get better. I've lived here my entire life, (except for 5 years in WY) and it's been a slow, measurable shift toward the left. Too much influx of immigrants from the west coast and south of the border. I love the state, and I don't hold the illusion that any other state is going to be (or remain) a perfect haven for my views (except maybe texas... ). So although I intend to move in a few years, it's more to find a huge patch of cheap land to build a homestead on. A patch of land in which I and my loved ones will anything we damn well feel we have a constitutional right to, and is far enough away from any townships to draw attention to ourselves.
If for some reason I'm unable to leave the state as easily as I would prefer, or find a good deal on land here, I'll stick it out. And continue to partake in EVERYTHING that's granted to me by the Constitution, until it's no longer physically possible. They can shove their publicity-whore legislation up their collective Obamas.

I've been hearing the term "east coaster effect" lately. I live in a small mountain town. Twenty years ago it was a quirky mountain town. Fifteen years ago i became a bedroom community for Boulder. With that, the new arrivals want more amenities (snow removal, paved streets, sidewalks, rec. centers...). There are places that can already accommodate these needs but some feel the need to move in and "change" what they don't like. Nevermind those that moved here because it was a quirky mountain town.

Colorado is at a crossroads. Either there is going to be backlash from the right that will sweep these leftist idiots out of office in the next election cycle or two OR the stranglehold the left holds on this state will strengthen taking it down the road to California (or worse).
I don't think its time to jump ship now but if we don't start winning soon, then it will be.

Im a native and not ready to jump ship. That being said I will boycott hunting and fishing this year. Instead I plan to take vacation out of state(somewhere more gun friendly).
This ordeal is very depressing. To watch our home state transform from red to blue is horrible. We are natives also and love the state. We HATE the political transformation. I really don't think we can reverse the trend, unless the Dems run it into the ground. Even then, I doubt it will reverse. Californians keep voting the same way. Once a certain percentage of the voters receive entitlement crap, they aren't going to give it back. That's by design too. The progressives are extremely strategic and patient. They know what they're doing. In short, we are screwed.
Our roots are deep here. The thought of leaving makes me sick. I want to fight the progressives and kick their butts out of Colorado. The book Molon Labe illustrates how to save a state from progressive destruction.

Gentlemen it was nice to see some fellow natives on the thread. Personally I am not advocating violence but hitting the people in charge in a legal and civil way. One post said that hitting the tourism industry would have little impact. Quite the opposite the 2nd largest industry in Colorado is tourism http://www.denver.org/tourismpays/tourism-in-colorado
Tourism is down 30 percent since Obama became president and it is still our 2nd largest industry. Much of our tourism is outdoor related and many gun rights people come here for them. Knock off another 10 percent of that revenue and the machine starts to break, its barely moving now. Get an organized national effort to boycott Colorado and it will get the States attention. If you social media get the buzz started. The war has just started folks. Pot don't have the financial impact that we do take down the machine. Damm I feel like saying Wolverines.
Well, I'm not a CO native, I'm an Okie. But what other state(s) are better than here? Yeah, the lefties are fucking this place up, but they're doing it everywhere else too. No matter where you move to, by the time you get settled in it'll be time to leave there as well. And the natives of THAT state will look upon YOU as an outsider/invader.
Yeah, the situation is starting to suck here, but it sucks a lot worse in a lot of other places.

Personally, I don't give a rat fawk what your politics are. As long as they are not being forced on me. Right now someone else's "feel good" politics is being shoved down my throat.

Time to start looking on Realtor.com for some place back home in Montana. "California East" doesn't want me anymore. Fine with me.
Retreat? Where the fuck do you want to draw the line? Where do yo go after Montana, Idaho or Kentucky? Even the fucking liberals will eventually move out of the states they fuck up looking to colonize another. In ten years they've managed to fuck up Colorado real good. They're like a bunch of fucking parasites killing off one host and moving on to the next one. Interestingly, I came across this article on how to eliminate parasites naturally: http://drlwilson.com/Articles/PARASITES.HTM. Just substitute liberal or democrat for parasite. For those that are metaphorically-challenged, the bottom line is that a like a healthy body, a healthy country is crucial to staffing off parasitic infections. For those democrats I may have offended, I offer no apology.
I am a CO native as well and i am planning to stand and fight and hopefully see some common sense return to this great state. However.......I am also starting to price land in Wyoming.......

Doing the same here. However I am not giving up. In looking at the tourism we could send a loud and clear message if their was organized boycott or threat of boycott in place.

me likes the why you think
I suggested a boycott towards hunting in the hunting forum, it did not go over so well.

All gun owners/hunters need to work together on this, or things could go very badly for us. (If not going there already.)
Unfortunately there is a lot of the division in the various groups (archery, muzzle loader, shot gunners, etc, etc) thinking - well as long as it does not effect me.
Do not mean to sound paranoid, but if left up to 'them' we would not have any guns and maybe not any kind of weapon or hunting would be allowed.

Regardless of what those members feel there will be a boycott of this State if those laws pass. There has to be because this is one of the very few non violent ways to get the word out. The out of state folks will boycott as they should.

You think going bankrupt stops them? Heard anything about Kalifornia recently? People are flooding out of the state, and it's just getting worse... And then they leave and screw up another state (for example, Colorado...)

Can we get a list of who supports the gun-banners?
No, I don't mean who here -- I doubt even nynco supports the BS going on up in Denver. I mean can we pull together a list of the companies that gave any financial support to John Morse or any of the other morons so we 1) know who NOT to support financially and 2) can tell them why we're not giving them business?

I like this idea. Boycott the businesses that backed this legislation put them out of business and then they will be forced to leave the state and maybe we can reclaim what we once had here.

I know I will be writing my local government when I leave proclaiming why I am leaving and how it will effect their tax revenue. Sad part is, I will be replaced by a commifornian.

I don't think Colorado is going to get better. I've lived here my entire life, (except for 5 years in WY) and it's been a slow, measurable shift toward the left. Too much influx of immigrants from the west coast and south of the border. I love the state, and I don't hold the illusion that any other state is going to be (or remain) a perfect haven for my views (except maybe texas... ). So although I intend to move in a few years, it's more to find a huge patch of cheap land to build a homestead on. A patch of land in which I and my loved ones will anything we damn well feel we have a constitutional right to, and is far enough away from any townships to draw attention to ourselves.
If for some reason I'm unable to leave the state as easily as I would prefer, or find a good deal on land here, I'll stick it out. And continue to partake in EVERYTHING that's granted to me by the Constitution, until it's no longer physically possible. They can shove their publicity-whore legislation up their collective Obamas.
x2 from a fellow "native". Although, just food for though. Texas has a cancer that is spreading...and the tumor is Austin.
Colorado is at a crossroads. Either there is going to be backlash from the right that will sweep these leftist idiots out of office in the next election cycle or two OR the stranglehold the left holds on this state will strengthen taking it down the road to California (or worse).
I don't think its time to jump ship now but if we don't start winning soon, then it will be.
We are already California's little sister. Sickening...but just look around.
