We are paying for background checks through taxes. Even people that don't purchase guns. Here's 2 contradicting arguments I can think of.
Argument #1: I don't like the idea of paying for something I don't use, so why should they?
Argument #2: Background checks are for the "public safety", so the public should be paying for it, even if they don't purchase guns.
Edit: I guess I haven't confirmed what funds the background checks. If someone knows....

To ask may be but a moment's shame, not to ask and remain ignorant is a lifelong shame.

Argument 1 is a non-starter...even if you don't have kids, your taxes pay for public education. Even if you don't have a car, you pay for roads, the list is extensive and even includes things that Government should never be spending money on.

Magpul is proud to announce the “Boulder Airlift”, our program to make sure that responsible Colorado citizens have the opportunity to own standard capacity PMAGs prior to the potential implementation of pending legislation that would infringe on their Second Amendment Rights. The program will be open to all responsible CO residents, (with both billing and shipping addresses inside CO) and provide access to a limited quantity of PMAGs. Remember to contact members of the Senate and the Governor prior to ordering and urge them to oppose HB 1224.

Similar to the Berlin Airlift, the Boulder Airlift will bring much needed supplies to freedom-loving residents trapped inside occupied territory. While we plan to initially use FedEx or UPS instead of aerial delivery, we figure that $5 flat rate shipping will make up for any loss of “style points.”
The increases we have made and continue to make in production capacity will allow us to open this program with very minimal impact on the number of PMAGs we are shipping to our dealers and distributors out of the state. We are also aware that Colorado is not the only state with existing or pending magazine capacity restrictions; we are working on programs for other affected states as well.
