I just had a letter I wrote to the Senators in Colorado on these gun control bills read on the Colorado Senate floor by Senator Randy Baumgardner!!
Sadly as of right now it looks like these gun control bills will be passed and become law in Colorado.
While I am not a resident of the State of Colorado I have visited several times and loved it, it is a beautiful state and I would love to return, however if HB 1224 passes you can take any money I might have spent and kiss it goodbye. I will boycott your state and encourage everyone I know to do the same.
This bill is bad policy and will not only cost Colorado jobs with Magpul picking up and leaving and have no doubt, they will leave. The men that own Magpul are honorable and actually do what they say, quite unlike most politicians. I am sure you have heard all the statistics and dollar value that will leave the state, but I personally think that it will be MUCH higher as folks like myself will totally boycott the state.
This bill also will have ZERO effect on crime of any sort, as it is UNENFORCEABLE in its current language. All this bill will do is turn law abiding citizens into criminals for no other reason than to say you "done something". The criminal element will still be able to get what they want... I know it is cliche, but it is the truth "Criminals don't obey the law". This bill WILL hamstring law abiding citizens in the defense of their homes and property.
In closing I once again express my intentions of fully boycotting Colorado should this pass as well as encouraging every person I know to do the same.
