The company, started in an ex-Marine's basement in 1999, is in a standoff with Colorado Democrats who want to restrict the size of ammunition magazines after mass shootings in a suburban Denver movie theater and a Connecticut elementary school. Magpul has issued lawmakers an ultimatum potentially worth millions: Pass the bill, and the business will move.
It's a bold threat from a company that, by its founder's admission, has distanced itself from politics.

The Dems are at it agin. How to kill off a few more jobs just like Maryland. Time to make the move to one of the many other states that suport the second admenment.
2:55 bye. Please move. If more of you crazies left, this would be a better place to live.
On the one hand, GC measures like banning certain clips and assault rifles are completely misguided and run counter to common sense. On the other, good riddance to this biz. if they want to move. I'm tired of biz blackmailing the political system as it is. The big corporation already have enough sway. If this dude wants to move, then I'm sure there will be a competitor looking to step up and supply the new limited capacity magazine.
7:13, you are a major problem. If you don't want to abide by our Constitution and Bill of rights, you need to move to a country that agrees with your values. Trust me, you will be much happier there. Don't stay here and push your agenda on others. You will fail.
8:20 you are right people like 7:13 are the problem, they will cry like a bitch when a home invasion happens and cannot protect themselves ,but what the hell crazy libtards you always have 911 at least 911 will have time to call the undertaker for you
THANK YOU 8:20! These idiots are trying to take over. People like them always think they have the answer which is to infringe on others rights.
well said 820AM! I agree....he/she is the one who should be moving like all the other crazy liberals in this state.
one suggestion America.... Learn Chinese.... We are beyond being saved, not to far off from teh movie Hunger Games.
Hope that is not true 12:25,but it sure is leading us in that direction God help us all

Makes you wonder why Leftist Communist WBCOE Superintendent John Fredericksen has been spending time in China.
7:13 and 7:32 Need a large "L" tattooed to his/their forehead so that we know who the enemy is when the Civil War breaks out.
If CO enacts the current bills I've read this is not the only business that will be leaving. Many, many sportsmen and women will stop bringing $$ into the state. That is going to affect hunting guides, outfitters, land owners who lease hunting and fishing land, lodging facilities and the multitude of associated businesses. Furthermore, CO's Natural Resources Dpt. will see millions of dollars in tag and license revenue disappear.., so CO, go ahead and shoot yourself in the foot, maybe all the new stoners flocking in will replace these millions of dollars.
A company is standing up FOR the constitution and you call that blackmailing the government?
I want you too keep saying that. Tell it to everyone you know and meet.
When tshtf we will know exactly who you are and can take you out with the other freedom killers.
You are allowed to say such crap because OF the 2nd amendment.
But, along with shouting fire in a crowded theater, there are consequences to such abuses of free speech.
421 how many years have you been using that same childish insult? You sure told me. lol
