Let's make sure that Magpul stays true to their word and leaves the state of Colorado. The democratic legislators revised the ban to let Magpul keep selling to out of state buyers, just not to Colorado residents.

I hope Magpul stands by their word to leave the state, exception or not, and I believe they will. However, if the stay a boycott is called for, no doubt.

They said they would move whether they were exempted or not.

Definitely. It's not Magpul's fault that the laws in CO could possibly shut them down. They have a good business and I'm sure they didn't get there by making bad business decisions. Remember the bills aren't laws yet. IMHO we should support Magpul even more.

Boycott Magpul for making the smart business decision of not moving?

Just because they are not going to move does not make them traitors.

Magpul hasn't done anything wrong, they didn't support the state ban. If they cannot financially support moving, then they should stay where they are. If anything, having Magpul stay might make it more likely for then ban to be overturned later on.

Magpul can do as they wish but IMO they would be hypocritical to make the statements they have originally made and remain in a state and manufacture a product that would be banned in that state.

If I remember correctly they have stated the same thing as well from one of their original statements.

He just wants you to boycott so his backorders go through!

This is from Magpul's FaceBook page:

Magpul Industries Corp.
We're hearing some rumors that the Gov and the Dem caucus think we are bluffing. Just to clarify for them, then...we're not a political company. We dont play political games. We've made our position very clear, very publicly. We would not survive lying to our customer base, nor would we ever consider it. If you pass this, we will leave, and you will own it. We've already got plans in place to get PMAG manufacturing moved rapidly, and the rest of the company will follow. We will make sure to at least have a small remain-behind operation through the 2014 elections so that we can remind folks why we are gone.

I know it's somewhat childish of me but I had just had to fire off a note to the Govenor of CO:

Please keep pushing this bill! We have several cities in Indiana that could use a fine company like Magpul. Your state is a laughing stock to Americans like me and your inability to consider unintended consequences is what makes you so. Roll another fatty dude!

I just can't imagine how short sighted he is.
