Magpul moving operations out of Colorado over gun laws
Wonder how much this will hurt CO's economy seeing as Magpul is one of the most popular manufacturers of tactical goodies?

"Magpul Industries announced Thursday that it was moving its production, distribution and shipping operations to Wyoming and its headquarters to Texas, finishing a vow it made to leave Colorado during last year's heated gun control debate."

Agreed! Good to see they're giving people the opportunity who want to thrive in this business to do so!

True, they had to do what was best for them in the long run.

Sad that Liberals think they know what's best for everyone. Hate to break it to them... but I have a functioning brain and can think for myself. ;)

 Quoting: Karma Assassin™


How do you ever really know a Liberal?

He shakes your hand and seems like a nice guy, but then come election day he puts chains on you. And if that's not enough, he enslaves your children as well.

Is the company worth your paycheck? Your property? Or the very thoughts in your own mind?

These people are in complete conflict with themselves. They say they want public safety so they enact "gun control" laws that make us less safe.

They say they want everyone to have health insurance so they enact a program that cancels peoples' health insurance and drives up the cost of care.

They say they want education for everyone so they create a public school system that politicizes instead of educates--how many high school graduates can't even read?!?

They want to create a world of safety nets with pajamas onesies and hot chocolate. But all they create is more pain and misery. Broken promises that deprive people of the ability to take care of themselves when the lie is realized.

If you point this out, the Liberal tells you (in so many words) that the ends justify the means. His ideas are superior and will work. Doesn't matter how many times he fails or his ideas have failed throughout human history. This time will be different because they are the ones they've been waiting for.

And if that's not bad enough, try and change the status quo and they will kick you in the teeth.

I think you need some perspective.

We lost CO because the door was left open for (mostly CA) Liberals. Like locusts, they destroyed their home states and because of their conflict refused to take accountability for it and stay put. So they swarmed to CO to repeat the same mistakes and implement the same failed ideas. We went from a rugged, individualistic, free-thinking state to a nanny state in just a generation (20 years).

there can't be friendship with someone who wants to take by force, at the point of a gun, freedom and liberty as I understand those terms and to control every aspect of life.



This is the only solution I can see.

Here's a question that I've asked in the past that needs to be revisited. Unless one wishes to obfuscate, it has a simple yes or no answer. If one group of people prefers strong government control and management of people's lives while another group prefers liberty and desires to be left alone, should they be required to enter into conflict with one another and risk bloodshed and loss of life in order to impose their preferences on the other group? Yes or no. My answer is no; they should be able to peaceably part company and go their separate ways.
