Some Democrats believed that Magpul would not follow through in its threat to pull out of Colorado should the heavy-handed gun control legislation pass. They were wrong.
Today, the Boulder Daily Camera reported that the Erie-based company has begun manufacturing its PMag ammunition magazines out of state for the first time ever, according to the company. Apparently, its sights have been manufactured out of state in the past. Here is a response to an inquiry from Facebook:
“More details on where HQ and production will be moving to will be announced as things are finalized. PMag production has already started out of the state. Please be patient, there is a lot of due diligence required to move a company of our size.”
The statement did not go unnoticed with 47 Facebook likes and 18 replies of encouragement. Some of the replies included welcome messages from other states, such as Wyoming, Georgia, and Texas, among others.
The company plans to reveal its relocation plans after the National Rifle Association’s annual meeting and exhibition this weekend. Magpul announced its plans to relocate on the day that Democratic Governor John Hickenlooper signed radical gun control legislation into law.
How many other companies will be chased out of Colorado due to far left policies of the current Democratic regime at the Capitol and in the Governor’s Mansion? Guess Democratic Sens. Andy Kerr and Jeanne Nicolson’s “Keep Jobs in Colorado” initiative doesn’t do a whole lot of good when you spend the other 95% of the legislative session chasing jobs out of state.
that's what the democrats want. to turn the united states from a democratic republic to democratic communism. take away citizens guns, have citizens completely dependent of the government, to control education, and to control information. these are the steps needed to establish a communist government and the order doesn't matter.
That's EXACTLY what I'll be saying when Hickenlooper gets swept out of office next election Talya! ^_~
Tayla, I hope you will put your money where your mouth is… go live in beautiful "gun free" Chicago… I hear it is nice in the summertime, they only average about 3 murders a day…
Every wonder why Democrats always get the young vote? http://bit.ly/12LNHpm
What an ignorant perspective. Magpul's departure won't reduce criminal behavior. It will hurt Colorado's tax infrastructure. On the other hand, the state(s) that receive Magpul's tax revenue, win. Talya, the only thing Colorado gained from Magpul's departure was unemployed citizens and tax revenue loss. But I'm guessing that those things don't bother you in the slightest. Government handouts will take care of it.
Look folks, it's a Liberal Idiot. You can tell by the words, and by that vacant, airy grin. Somewhere, thanks to 'Tayla' (her parents were undoubtedly hippy burnouts), there's a village without an idiot…
Hey! Don't go confusing people who burn a little grass, with people who hate guns. That would be an incorrect assumption. I think both are personal freedoms and both have been maligned by people who don't understand them. Just sayin', my friend…
Talya, I guess no one in your family is losing their job from this? Wooohoo, indeed.
I think the surprise is happening to the democrats in the legislature and the employees that are losing their jobs. Guess you see that as a good thing?
Must be a libtard that wants more people on unemployment.
Woohopo! Good riddance is what liberals say when >650 jobs leave a state… Brilliant.
Obiously a Liberal, he resorts to name calling….LOL!
You tend to think other people are like you, if you don't do deep analysis, so the fact that they expected a lot of talk and no action should come as no surprise.
You are an idiot and need to leave. People like you are why we are in the mess we're in.
Tayla, do you live in Colorado? If yes, please leave….our state will be a better place and good riddance! If no, then please shut the hell up
Your an idiot! You don't even understand the founding of this country! Go read the federalist papers.
Hickinpooper needs to go away.
Nothing like hurting the military to make a liberal idiot happy it seems.
Just smoke more dope Colorado…
We all don't believe like this governor in fact most of us don't
Its easy to say good bye to Magpul because of your beliefs. Now could you look in the families eyes and say Woohooo! Good riddance! Why can't people just let us do what we have done for years…..Create Jobs and let people become sef-sufficient. Now Magpul employee's will be welfare recipients, and joining Obamacare! Is that really what people want? We are in Deep S&%T!
Wooohooo! Good riddance.
They expected a lot of talk and no action.They got the reverse. Coloradoans usually mean what they say and say what they mean… These laws, and the "phoney" liberal climate will chase away future business, just wait and see.
And they expected what?
