Magpul Industries is leaving Colorado because of radical leftist gun laws. All the jobs that Magpul Industries provides will leave Colorado for Wyoming and Texas. Colorado has done it again. Pot is legal, but owning guns is nearly illegal in Colorado thanks to all the idiots who voted for leftists to lead their government. Now, Magpul will move their production, distribution and shipping operations to Cheyenne Wyoming. The headquarters of Magpul will leave Colorado for Texas.
The Democratic-led Colorado legislature and Gov. John Hickenlooper last year enacted a new law prohibiting the sale of gun magazines with more than 15 rounds. That and other new gun restrictions also led to the recall ouster of two Democratic state senators.
The company says its corporate headquarters will likely be in north-central Texas but an exact location hasn’t been determined yet.
Colorado is not the only state to have gun manufacturers threaten to leave over gun legislation. In 2013, Beretta USA threatened to move its Maryland manufacturing plant – along with roughly 400 jobs – after Democratic Gov. Martin O’Malley began a push for one of the most ambitious gun-control agendas in the country.
Well done voters in Colorado. You are the California of the Rocky Mountains. Be proud and choom on!
