Colorado is in a real fight. Yesterday, the Colorado House Judiciary Committee voted in favor of House Bill 1224, which would prohibit the sale, transfer or possession of magazines holding more than 10 rounds. How these idiots come up with arbitrary limits like this is anyone’s guess, but most semiautomatic pistols and rifles come with (or are capable of accepting) standard capacity magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.Â
The fight, however, isn’t just about magazine capacity, it’s about jobs, and it’s about money.
Enter Magpul, the Colorado based company that makes many awesome products, including PMAGs, which are standard capacity magazines for the AR-15/M4/M16. You might have heard of PMAGs before…they’re the ones that are reportedly backordered over 1 million units thanks to the communists in Washington.
Magpul employs and contracts with over 600 people in Colorado, and if HB 1224 passes, they won’t stay.
Leadership team is at the Capitol again today, holding the line. Regardless of a manufacturing exemption or not, if HB1224 passes, we have to go. We can’t disappoint our customers nor ignore our convictions. Anyone who votes in favor of this bill votes to drive over 600 jobs out of CO. We’ll have some contact information for some further assistance coming up soon.
We have now met with CO Governor John Hickenlooper’s administration. Message delivered: If House Bill 1224 passes and becomes law, regardless of exemptions or amendments, we will be forced to leave CO, along with our jobs and our tax dollars.
Keep up the pressure! Even if you only vacation in CO, let the Governor know that CO will lose your tourism dollars!
How You Can Help
First off, contact Governor Hickenlooper and urge him to veto any gun control legislation that makes it to his desk.
Additionally, here is the contact information for the Democrats in the Colorado State House of Representatives. Contact them and politely ask them to vote NO on any new gun control legislation. Ask them to do their job, uphold the Constitution, and respect the Second Amendment.
Even if you don’t live in Colorado, you can make a difference. Tell them that you will NOT be spending another dime in their state if they pass gun control legislation.
Make your voice heard.

What kind of jackass uses a Yahoo e-mail address as his official contact?
I was all irritated and went to spread the word, and you made me snort out loud. 🙂

I have an uncle in Montrose that I visit and I never thought I’d see the day I had to worry about what shooters I bring when I visit. Never thought Colorado would even begin to go that way and that’s truly a shame. I’ll still go because those Olathe apples are the best in the world.
