For their sakes I hope TX stays red a while longer...
good for following through.
If not they'll probably move again... I would have preferred they move to WY, but I can understand their decision to go with TX.Quote:

Good for Magpul!
I cannot blame them one bit!
To bad for us but I bet WY is happy to have them
I'd rather they had stayed and fought with us, but perhaps this will help the fight. I doubt it, however.
Now, they are just another company and I personally will only use their stuff if it happens to be the best quality at the price. Thanks for the mags, though.
Good for them!
From what I understand they put a lot of money into the legal challenge. I consider that fighting. They could have just left.Quote:

I can't dispute this, and for all I know, they are still funding it. [Dunno]Quote:

Feel bad for the employees that can't tag along.
Pretty big loss for the Colorado economy. Glad we have a business friendly governor. Who knows what might happen, otherwise.
maybe they'll run the Magpul Cannonball Express Bus from boulder to Cheyenne every dayQuote:

Soon it's not going to matter anyways, a 100,000+ pot smokers are going to move to CO in the next 1-2 years & sway the balance of power in this state for good. We are outnumbered, outspent & soon to be over taxed, sometimes you have to admit the truth............I love this state & we are going to stay & fight, but it's not going to matter. Magpul made a smart business decision & they stood by their word, I respect them for that & I'll continue to support them to the fullest.
Bummer they are moving, but I'm glad they stuck to their guns.
Your people are trying to take it over in much the same manner that they've attacked Colorado.Quote:

Funny.. Fox31 just announced that Magpul, the ammunition manufacturer is leaving. No wonder I hate the media. Even the 'right' leaning.
ERIE, Colo. — The Colorado-based ammunition manufacturer that threatened to leave the state if more-restrictive gun legislation was passed is finally making good on its threat over nine months after the new gun laws went into effect.
In a press release issued on Thursday, Magpul Industries CEO Richard Fitzpatrick said his company, which currently employs 250 in Colorado, will be relocating its shipping operations to Cheyenne, Wyo. and its company headquarters to an undisclosed location in Texas.
The company said it is still deciding between three possible North Central Texas locations for its headquarters, and that the transition to its new home will begin as soon as a decision is made.
Support received from governors in both states — Matt Mead in Wyoming and Rick Perry in Texas — played a big role in the selection of both sites, Magpul wrote in the release.
“Moving operations to states that support our culture of individual liberties and personal responsibility is important,” Fitzpatrick said. “This relocation will also improve business operations and logistics as we utilize the strengths of Texas and Wyoming in our expansion.
Fitzpatrick went on to note that the move is expected to take place at some point in the next 12 to 16 months.
Thats racist!Quote:

nynco, the president you voted for wants to turn all those "undocumented citizens" into US citizens. Just to make it easier to understand for ya.
/slight side-note: I have to admit, I'd be almost willing to allow the illegals to vote...IF they passed a comprehensive citizenship test. At least then they'd know more about the way the US works than many present residents.
Quite frankly, I think even legal citizens should have to pass one on a regular basis (say, every 5 years) in order to vote. If you don't know that there are three branches of government, and that they are the legislative, the executive, and the judicial, then you shouldn't be voting.
You guys do realize that most Mexicans are very conservative and only vote Democratic because the GOP chases them away. But hey... what ever. I was not trying to troll, it was an honest question as to why and how you see TX that way. Heck I know many people that would vote GOP if you guys gave up the drug war, the religious laws and would return back to the founding fathers interpretation of corporate rights. But the propaganda machines on both sides mold the minds and run the dog and pony show... so whats the next useless battle to distract us with because pot is ending in a decade.
The bold is the only part that matters, friend.Quote:

Well, heck, lets just make all non-violent crime legal. Wouldn't that keep a lot of people out of prison too?Quote:

I don't like people who are here illegally. I think it is wrong. But we have a situation where one side will never hold the employers accountable that hire these people and another side that wants to legalize them. Its a no win either way. Whoooo hoooo freedome of the two party dictatorshit.
Maybe you should look into libertarian instead.Quote:

So they can cast the molds in CO and assemble them in WY.
Because there has not been a word about it spoken by anyone since?Quote:

Sad day for Erie. They were good neighbors and I assume were an important part of the Erie tax base.
I'm happy they are moving and sticking to their word. Hopefully this is one more piece of the puzzle that turns things around this year.
