Magpul versus CO Legislation Thread

[DeusExMachina]

I don't understand the whole "Only have time for a few more people.."

On the proponents side. The time for the logical to testify is about to come.

Obviously they are on to a pretty good thing here with their business. They make plenty of other products that are still perfectly legal and surely there will be a need for 10 and 15 round Pmags in the future as more and more states get screwed over by the dems like CO did tonight. I mean there is still a fair chance that the whole country gets limited to 10 round mags. In that case, moving to another state won't help them one bit.

I don't know how their operation works but I could imagine them opening up a manufacturing location up in Wyoming and just produce magazines up there with everything else still running as normal here in CO.

The way I understand the bill (and please correct me if I am wrong), people in CO can still have their 30 round mags but you just can't buy new ones with a manufacture date after July 1, 2013. If Magpul produces them in WY under their law, there is no date on them and they could just open a store on the border and sell them to Coloradans all day long. The way I read it, the burden is on the police to prove when you bought it. Just make sure to pay cash and throw that receipt away!

Oh yeah, and does a 15 round AR mag even exist? I have seen 10/20/30 and all the "junk" after that but never a 15 rounder.

I wouldn't presume to speak for them, but what I'd like to see is Magpul move their entire business out of state and refuse to sell anything to CO entities. No dept purchases, no agency purchases, nothing.

But then I tend to be a "if you can't win the game you might as well destroy the arena" kind of guy.

I hear that... I just think that from a business perspective it may not be that cost effective to pull it all up right now and lay down roots somewhere else. All it takes is for a national ban on high cap mags and they are right back where they started.

I think after watching all this BS tonight, it was pretty clear that Magpul was their main target. I also don't think for a second that the Dem Reps that brought this bill up had anything to do with authoring it. I would bet this came from a group on a national level with direct aim at Magpul.

Would be nice if Magpul would throw its Colorado supporters a bone and flood the CO market with Pmags instead of sending them out of state. They will have plenty of time to do that after this summer. There is no doubt they could sell them all and they wouldnt have to worry about shipping costs either.

I'm with Mick-boy. If this passes the rest of the votes, it's not Magpul's fault, it's the folks that vote to pass such bs laws. Let the state realize what they've done when they loose all that revenue and all those jobs when this industry leader pulls up stakes and moves on down the road!

Sickening!! ...that is all.

There is a large Business park in Smyrna where a company might set up shop... almost next to GLOCK
had Visitors last week, only listed as "a large firearms plastics manufacturer"

could be Thermold... or not

I'm with you on this. I'd like to see Magpul say screw your manufacturing exceptions, you're infringing on the second and we will not support this state any longer.
