Magpul is a Gunmaker??

It makes a nice talking point in the following years of the Colorado congress. Hard to say you are pro business when you do stupid shit like this.

Kudos to Magpul for proving that theirs was not an empty threat and hit these politicians where they live....in our wallets.

I think the net effect of this plus pot =/= negative revenue.

We're losing a little money there, but the politicians will likely more than make up for it in pot. Honestly, I cannot imagine a single dem notices / cares that Magpul and their tax revenue is gone. $0.02

True, but the money made in pot taxes all goes to schools. Anything more than what was budgeted, is refunded back to the taxpayers.

You're delusional if you think that the state is ever going to refund any tax revenue TABOR be damned.

Doesn't this allow them to change their budget? I sort of agree with Brutal and yourself. They won't refund it, they'll budget less for the schools from other revenue sources, increase the take from pot, and now the "other sources" can make up for what they'd have lost from Magpul or anything else.


And having said that all, Justin's point in spot on. Magpul won't hurt them in their pocketbook since their ideology is worth any cost. It really is sad.

The revenues for pot were waaaay overestimated (surprise!).
