The hypocrisy is pretty evident with MagPul being based in CO. Gotta love what the company has said if this bill becomes law.

Well Colorado voted for Obummer so what could we expect.

I have a friend that grew up there and went back after service in the marines. He lived outside of Denver. About a year ago he got so fed up with the situation there with all the west coast migrants moving in with their liberal ideas. He lost his job and the economy was down. The state then raised his property taxes and that was all it took. He sold his stuff and took a job overseas, carried his family also. He said that there was no future or real opportunity in Colorado anymore.

Crap, CO was on my possibles list too. Well scratch that one off the list, one less thing ya know?

Colorado is at now...

And Magpul is fighting tooth and nail. A post on Facebook by them said something to the effect of "although it would not effect us manufacturing these items, we can't see giving our tax dollars to and living in a state that would do that"

What's scary is to pull back a long way and realize they are herding us onto conservative reservations giving up any chance of winning a national election. Once that happens we have only liberal government that will take away states rights and we loose no matter what. We obviously won't ever get NY & CA back but we have a chance for some swing states and if we had those we might stand a chance.

Maybe if we can get Rubio and Connie to run against Hillary we stand a chance but only if they lie like hell and promise to give away everything to the "poor and illegals." All we need is one really good conservative to disband the federal agencies that are sucking us dry. We've already seen an executive order can eliminate the department of education, Put in a national right to carry by wiping out the enforcement of ATF against guns, change the interstate transportation to open up shipment of arms, Enforce the borders, put in voter ID, have the IRS ensure voter's registrations are legal, make a registration cutoff ahead of Federal elections to ensure every one is validated. I'm just getting started but you get my drift.

Excellent ideas Old Lincoln. I never thought of the conservative reservation thing but your absolutely spot on there too.

We do need to teach our guys to lie if only half as much as the current admin and then just not keep their promises. Heck it works perfectly for them, why not for us.

Course maybe we wouldn't vote for our own guy cause we wouldn't know he was really lieing? Maybe we could rig up a secret signal for during his campaign speeches and debates. You know like when he scratches his nose we know it's a bald face lie just for show.

A lot of things you say makes sense, bit I'm still afraid of a National Right To Carry Law? Do we really want the Federal Government involved in this? What the Fed's give, they can also take away!!!!

Very sad statement of Colorado - used to be a fine state for freedom.

[wyntrout]

Maybe it was the influx of Hippies and Liberals from Commiefornia!

Good for Magpul1 We need more companies like that!

Don't think it much matters either way. They already THINK they give us our rights anyway, otherwise we wouldn't even be talking about it. The modern politician totally misses the point and has zero understanding of the Constitution.

Oh, give me a break. First, this is now just a Dem sponsored bill. Second, Colorado hasn't significantly raised property taxes since 1992....increases been constitutionally limited since then. Third, if you can't make it here, you won't be able to make it anywhere in this country. Guessing that's why your friend moved out.


This place is conservative rural, conservatively liberal urban, and geographically isolated from the serious whackos which suits me just fine.

The wife and I have been thinking seriously about moving to CO, as I was born and raised there and still hunt there every year. The problem with the state IS the Commieforians that have moved to Denver and are spreading out along the front range.

After this past hunting season and finding out one of my cousins is now a liberal, I thought maybe Wyoming would be a better place to live. But then I had a thought...

and it didn't hurt too much either! Perhaps, just perhaps, if/when we do move there I just might be able to talk a little bit of sense to folks that are on the fence. Then, and a much bigger maybe, I could convince a few of those truly on the left to maybe just lean a bit more to the right.

As has been said, rounding us up into reservations isn't going to help us in the least. Just ask the Indians (feather type, not the dot ones). I still love the state and guess I'll do my best to get it back on the right track.

[Cokeman]

You're not convincing liberals of anything.

[sharpetop]

I lived in the Denver area in the mid 70s during a military stint. Stayed til 85. Even back then there were lots of liberal ideas flooding the area. It's true that most rural areas of the state are conservative but the populated front range controls things. Colorado should have rolled up the welcome mat years ago. I'm afraid now it's too late.
