Northern Colorado Business Review is reporting that another company intends to exit Colorado following the rash of radical anti-Second Amendment legislation shoved through the Colorado’s Democratic Legislature.
Hi-Viz Shooting Systems, a Fort Collins-based manufacturer of sights, recoil pads and shooting accessories, is at least the third company that has announced such intentions. Phillip Howe, Hi-Viz president and CEO, had this to say:
“I make this announcement with mixed emotions. Colorado is a beautiful state with great people, but we cannot in clear conscience support with our taxes a state that has proven through recent legislation a willingness to infringe upon the constitutional rights of our customer base.”
Magpul and the Outdoor Channel also announced similar intentions to relocate to states that are more supportive of their customer base as well as offer a friendlier business environment.
Just yesterday, the national jobs report came out and was far weaker than expected. Colorado’s willingness to sacrifice jobs in the name of liberal ideology is a top reason for the suffering of its citizens. Thank your Democratic legislator next time you see him or her.
We on the West Slope are getting really tired of the 'Front Rangers' who think they are still in Chicago or LA…
Steve Dorman ouch!!!
Joshi and Hill are rock stars in the voice of reason…
I HOPE THAT THEY WILL STILL SUPPORT OUR EFFORTS TO FIGHT BACK THESE GUN GRABBERS!
Hate that Denver and Boulder control the rest of the state!
Instead of creating job these politicians are running them out of our state. Thank you to our Democratic legislators. Shame on you.
Beretta Firearms is taking it's 400 jobs and leaving Maryland for the same reason. And that includes $31 million annually in taxes.
Steve Dorman: Unfortunately you are right! Daxon, I don't know where you are coming from but Owen Hill is one of the good guys, trying to stop the gun legislation. But with everything in Denver being controlled by the Democrats they have the vote and yes, it sucks to be Coloradans because of that!
Daxon, I believe El Paso also sent us Sen. Morse, yes?
True story.
Thank you Dems…
The real question is how many companies will pick up and move out of America if federal gun control legislation passes? Economy? Jobs? Pssshhhh…who needs that?
Don't look at me. El Paso County, elected Janik Joshi to the house and Owen Hill to the senate.
