Title: Magpul says "good riddance" to Colorado in style
Post by: IronDioPriest on June 28, 2013, 10:50:42 AM
GUN MANUFACTURER’S BIG ACT OF DEFIANCE AHEAD OF NEW MAGAZINE BAN IN COLORADO (http://www.theblaze.com/stories/2013/06/27/gun-manufacturers-big-act-of-defiance-ahead-of-new-magazine-ban-in-colorado/)

It will be illegal to purchase, manufacture or sell magazines that hold more than 15 rounds of ammunition in the state of Colorado come Monday. Recently-passed gun control measures have Second Amendment supporters angry while several gun manufacturers are fleeing the state.

One of the companies getting out of Colorado is Magpul Industries — but not before one final, symbolic act of defiance.

Magpul plans to give away 1,500 30-round ammunition magazines in Colorado on Saturday, just a couple days before the ban goes into effect. The magazines will be given away at a “Freedom Festival” on a first-come first-served basis. The event will be held at Infinity Park in Glendale, Colo., from 4-8 p.m., Magpul announced on its official Facebook page.

A number of gun control measures will go into effect July 1, including the magazine ban and expansive universal background checks. However, the law is not retroactive and allows gun owners to keep soon-to-be illegal high-capacity magazines if they were purchased legally before July 1.

In other words, every gun owner who gets a free 30-round magazine from Magpul is covered.

Yeah, I saw that earlier. Very classy way of giving CO the finger. The law is total BS, of course. I will continue to buy whatever mag I want whenever I am out of state. It's my inconvenience but it's their loss of revenue. Libs are so stupid.

That's the problem with modern life, though...there are almost never any serious consequences for being stupid. In the old days stupid people died from their stupidity. Today they muddle through and we all have to suffer the consequences of their stupidity.

Yeah, but once you've fired them they're all used up.  According to one of the elected geniuses there.

Thus, a living demonstration of the aforesaid stupidity mentioned by trap.  The elected genius totally misses the "renew/re-use" aspect of magazines.  ::snort::
