Dysfunctional 63 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I will not hunt there, I will not vacation there and I will not purchase from any company in Colorado (to the best of my ability). I don't spend all that much money there. But...just like any one raindrop is not responsible for the flood, collectively, well that's a different story... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
XD45 7,124 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Elections have consequences. Imagine how different the country would be if all the freedom-loving hard-working people actually bothered to vote instead of leaving it to the leftist machine to decide who holds the reins. 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
U.S. Pratorean 1,234 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) Another state just left the union and might as well be in China as far as I'm concerned, won't go there, or spend there. I'm ready for Magpul to come to Tx anyway. Almost forgot, your kids can get raped there also and the slime will get a slap on the wrist if that while you will go to jail for a long time for a magazine. Libtards suck on a galactic level and have ruined another state. Edited March 14, 2013 by U.S Praetorian 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Exactly.. They bitch and complain after the election but they don't bother to vote in local or state elections. They won't be voted out as like locust, there are too many now and the rest are apathetic (and pathetic). 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Matthew Hopkins 1,065 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) OK, reality time, on the surface MagPul pulling out and others, and people "self banning themselves " going there may sound good, but all the legislators will do is raise taxes to fill that void of money being lost. so who really "wins"? hint; it's not MagPul etc.., the people who self banning themselves from going there, and it definitely won't be the working citizens of Colorado, who pay taxes seriously, look for tax raising legislation going through in the next few years and if any of you think for one nano-second that the "limousine liberals" are going to suffer with higher taxes. think again, they are like anybody else that has tons of money, their lawyers and accounts will find loopholes so their tax burden is going to be light.

XD45 7,124 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) Magpul isn't pulling out to make a point. CO has made it illegal for them to do business. They don't have a choice. As far as raising taxes, libtards will do that no matter what. It's what they do. If you're saying it will be our fault that taxes get raised, well the libtards always have somebody to blame for everything they do. It's what they do. So what exactly is your point?

Big John! 2,062 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Bottom line here is that this is a horrible thing for all gun owners. Not just Co. Other states will follow and I fear it will get worse as shit rolls down hill. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
honkytonk 30 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Absolutely pathetic. I hope Magpul comes down to SC where they would be appreciated. Looks like it won't be much longer before Beretta will be forced to make a similar decision in Maryland... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew Hopkins 1,065 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Looks like it won't be much longer before Beretta will be forced to make a similar decision in Maryland... don't count on that ever happening, BERETTA is a Italian owned company and has huge military/gov't contracts, they are not going to pick up stakes and move just because Md. laws will impact civilians.

Lone Star Arms 2,047 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 Called Magpul earlier this week to check on product availability. I was 25th in the call queue, and decided not to wait. Magpul has stated in no uncertain terms that they would leave CO and relocate elsewhere if these laws were passed. My best guess is TX. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Matthew Hopkins 1,065 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 (edited) so what exactly is your point? point I'm making is the gov't of Colorado, rich liberals and people who are on the 'dole" won't be on the losing end of this. it's going to be everybody else in that state.

dayofruin 425 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 So are you suggesting they should stay in Colorado and stop producing banned products? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If Marylands laws pass Beretta will not be able to continue operations in the state, it really has nothing to do with civilians, they will not have a choice but to move, or otherwise disolve the Maryland plant operations.

Well maybe the people of that state will learn their lesson. I don't blame the Democrats, I blame my fellow countrymen for wanting & voting for this leftist ideology. The end game of liberalism is total enslavement and until these stupid mother fuckers wake up, this kind of shit will continue in every state of the union. I just don't get it. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Maxwelhse 1,285 Posted March 14, 2013 Report Share Posted March 14, 2013 I'm just wondering how long the clock has to tick before people start screaming "traitor"! You can't just close and open a business like Magpul overnight. I would expect it to take a year or more. I won't be canceling my backorders... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, we already have several cases in Ohio where voter fraud is being prosecuted. Including an actual poll worker who voted several times for Obama. But that won't make headlines because it brings to light much of what conservative people have been complaining about for years 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

MT Predator 2,294 Posted March 15, 2013 Report Share Posted March 15, 2013 Looks like it won't be much longer before Beretta will be forced to make a similar decision in Maryland... don't count on that ever happening, BERETTA is a Italian owned company and has huge military/gov't contracts, they are not going to pick up stakes and move just because Md. laws will impact civilians. Beretta is on its way out of Military contracts FWIW. Put a bunch or rounds through a M9 and they will break, seriously. The DOD is seeing a problem with their shitty stuff although they are part to blame with the low bidder winning a contract bullshit and all. Ask a Military shooter who has lots of range time on the pieces of shit. SOCOM has moved to Glocks because they are "Big Boys" and do not need the same stupid standard set for a Military sidearm like the rest of the force involving external safeties and decockers. Whern Beretta loses its HUGE government contract, I will be glad because I have seen plenty of their pistols fuck up beyond repair and can probably guarantee their great design that won them their contract contributed in numerous US Military deaths on the other side of the pond. Magpul started out as a small but very innovative company with no Military contracts. They made furniture for ARs, then came magazines when their furniture gained popularity, then more good stuff. The Military does purchase Magpul stuff but I am not aware of any HUGE contracts. Certain units in the Military simply purchase their own goods from Magpul minus the contract. Whether or not the state of Colorado chooses to punish their citizens with more taxes because of businesses pulling out of their state, sucks to be in Colorado I guess. Matthew, if Magpul was your company and the majority of your business was civilian sales, would you tuck your head into your own ass and stay put even though you could not sell all of your products to consumers in your own state? Fuck that! Magpul has the right idea. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
