Saw this on another forum..........supposedly from Magpul's FB page:

In addition to the national battle to protect our firearms rights, many states are currently engaged in their own fights. Here in CO, a state with a strong heritage of firearm and other personal freedoms, we are facing some extreme challenges to firearms rights. We have been engaged in dialogue with legislators here presenting our arguments to stop legislation from even being introduced, but our efforts did not deter those of extreme views.
 
After the NRAs visit last week, several anti-freedom bills were introduced by CO legislators, and a very aggressive timeline has been set forth in moving these bills forward.
 
The bills include:
 HB 1229, Background checks for Gun Transfers--a measure to prohibit private sales between CO residents, and instead require a full FFL transfer, including a 4473.
 
HB 1228, Payment for Background Checks for Gun Transfers-- a measure that would require CO residents to pay for the back logged state-run CBI system (currently taking 3 times the federally mandated wait time for checks to occur) instead of using the free federal NICS checks.
 
And finally, HB 1224, Prohibiting Large Capacity Ammunition Magazines--a measure that bans the possession, sale, or transfer of magazines over 10 round capacity. The measures and stipulations in this bill would deprive CO residents of the value of their private property by prohibiting the sale or transfer of all magazines over 10 rounds. This bill would also prohibit manufacture of magazines greater than 10 rounds for commercial sale out of the state, and place restrictions on the manufacture of military and law enforcement magazines that would cripple production.
 
We'd like to ask all CO residents to please contact your state legislators and the members of the Judiciary Committee and urge them to kill these measures in committee, and to vote NO if they reach the floor.
 
We also ask you to show your support for the 2nd Amendment at the Capitol on Tuesday, Feb 12, for the magazine ban committee hearing and Wednesday,
 Feb 13, for the hearing on the other measures.
 
Due to the highly restrictive language in HB 1224, if passed, and we remained here, this measure would require us to cease PMAG production on July 1, 2013.
 
In short, Magpul would be unable to remain in business as a CO company, and the over 200 jobs for direct employees and nearly 700 jobs at our subcontractors and suppliers would pick up and leave CO. Due to the structure of our operations, this would be entirely possible, hopefully without significant disruption to production.
 
The legislators drafting these measures do so in spite of the fact that nothing they are proposing will do anything to even marginally improve public safety in CO, and in fact, will leave law-abiding CO residents less able to defend themselves, strip away rights and property from residents who have done nothing wrong, and send nearly 1000 jobs and millions in tax revenue out of the state.
 
We like CO, we want to continue to operate in CO, but most of all, we want CO to remain FREE.
 
Please help us in this fight, and let your voices be heard!

That's sad.  Magpul wouldn't be able to do anything if those legislation pass 

They can move to Texas.

It's legit.  I saw this when they posted it on their page.  I doubt that legislation will get far in Colorado, but you never know.  If it does, they'll pack up and head to a friendlier state.  If I was running the show, I'd stay away from Texas.  The gun laws they have are less than ideal, and the immigration patterns are set to turn Texas blue.  If I was them I'd move to the upper midwest, Wyoming, North/South Dakota, someplace like that.  Eventually the blue cancer will reach those states, too, but it would provide the longest possible run.

I'm looking forward to hearing about how Illion, New York became a ghost town after Remington Arms packed up and moved to a sane state.  Dipshits in Albany will no doubt consider it a positive side effect of their legislation.

They can move to Texas.

Whew.  I hope.  Hick's (Governor Hickenlooper) been waffling back and forth on GUUUHHHNNN control. He wants to toe the party liine so he can become a US Senator, and I suspect he's angling for secure support from the more rural areas of the state.  Yeah, he won the Governorship, but that was before GUUUUHHHN control became such a big issue.

Either that, or he's re-developed a sense of "what's good for the country"... as opposed to "what's good for my election chances."

Rare for a poltician, but possible.

He was lukewarmedly neutral on GUUUHHHHN control before the election, but then started to make anti comments afterwards.  Not blatantly so, but he seemed to warm up a little about GUUUHHHN control right after the election.

I know it's politically incorrect to suggest it, but the enormous effect of unlawful occupation of this country (and the Denver Metro area) cannot be discounted.

After all, how many Garcias and Hernandezes and Etceteras can the Voting Registrars really keep proper track of, especially since voting registration is a county function, but the driver's license is a state issue?  To me, that Motor Voter registration which accompanies the  driver's license applications is a shameful sham, and was designed specifically to allow unlawful occupants of this country to vote.

All above just my opinions.

I just hope this doesn't slow down their back order of pmags 

Well, I  understabd  your concern, but Colorado's recent anti-gun feeding frenzy is a result of a long-term successful attack on Colorado by leftists.

They've got a number of target states in mind, and i believe the next one to "fall" might be Wyoming.

Reminds me of the song from the movie "To Be Or Not To Be" by Mel Brooks.  Hitler is singing about how he just wants a little peace:

A little piece of Poland
A little piece of France

A little piece of Portugal
And Austria perchance

A little slice of Turkey
And all that that entails

Und then a piece of England Scotland
lreland and Wales

Substitute your own State's name anywhere in there you want.

So it goes far beyond merely the availability of P-mags.
