We're Done with Colorado

I agree with you on this, Jer. But there are a few asshats right on this forum who are really quick to ridicule others as cowards or quitters who simply want a better life elsewhere. I think they often speak without putting their brain in gear first.

Funny, though. I haven't seen them publicly ridicule MagPul for choosing to leave for a more politically friendly state if the anti-gun legislation passes. For some reason the MagPul people are heroes for saying they'll leave but others are cowards for saying the same thing. How does that work? Frankly, I agree with MagPul. But I don't see it as any different if an individual decides to take their business, money, talents and resources to another state in order to provide a better lifestyle for their families just as MagPul is doing to provide a better climate for their business.

This whole "fight or die" thing is simply ridiculous and it's a false dilemma. There are other choices. And I really doubt anyone is going to die if they choose to do neither and just "go with the flow". Believe it or not, some people are OK with that. I guess the gung-ho, macho allure of such statements are too hard for the simple-minded to resist.

I completely understand why you want to leave; I feel the same way. It makes me sick really because I love my home and land; I expected to be there for a long time. However, I think it is really important that we come together and fight back in this next election cycle. The Democrats need to know there are consequences. If we don't accomplish something in 2014, then it will get a lot worse nationally.

Magpul is leaving based on ethics. The CEO has said why should we continue to pay taxes to a government that will not let my employees or fellow citizens buy.

So an individual can't have similar ethics? Why should an individual continue to live under a state or local government, pay taxes to that state or local government and abide by the rules that don't allow me to own the perfectly lawful products MagPul will continue to make in their new location? Nothing you said can't apply to an individual.

One responsibility of a free man is to provide for his family. If he can do so better, and provide a better and more wholesome lifestyle, in another place why shouldn't that person aspire to that?

If we don't accomplish something in 2014, then it will get a lot worse nationally.

And that's why I'll continue to do what I can for the next 8 months to a year before I leave. Then I'll continue to do my part wherever it is I call home.

Honestly living in Evergreen or anywhere in the Denver Metro Area probably feels a lot more like living in California than it does down here in The Springs.

Get out of the DMA, Boulder and Aspen and you develop a much different view of the people of Colorado.

We're not done yet.

Well I have been spending more and more time with friends in Conifer... But yes, Evergreen has become very "progressive" in recent times, it makes me sick!

Just type a note and leave it on cars with Obama stickers. Something like this:

"Hello Friend,

I just wanted to let you know that some knucklehead vandalized your car by slapping an Obama sticker on it. The last thing you want is to be driving around all day, looking like a real idiot.

Take Care,

A Good Samaritan

NICE! I'm gonna start doing that!
