Just need a few flatbed and van trailers and some 3-phase to hook on to and were in business...

The machine operators are welcome to relocate, but CNC doesn’t require that, should they decline.

[Still Thinking]

Oops, triple post! Have no idea how that happened.

And maybe some of the gun manufacturers in states like IL, NY, MA, CT, NH

No kidding! I just don't get why Colt, Smith & Wesson, and Kimber are located in some of the most gun-unfriendly states in the country!

Heck, I've driven by the Kimber factory in Yonkers, NY!

I know that there has been some discussion about Remington possibly moving their manufacturing plant out of Ilion, New York. Some of the discussions I’ve seen have suggested that they might incorporate the Ilion facility into one of their other three facilities. They currently have another firearms plant in Lonoke, Arkansas, an ammo and components plant in Mayfield, Kentucky, and their R&D and Technical Center is in Elizabethtown, Kentucky (about two miles from my house).

Your fire select button is set to burst.

There is a postage stamp sized gun store near me. They have several 30 rd mags for AR-15’s. I was thinking of buying some and I don’t even own an AR-15 (yet, at least).

[Still Thinking]

LOLZ!

There is really only one way to screw these state Donkey morons like NY and MD and NJ and CO and MO (or others contemplating onerous ‘gun control’) — that is the Ronnie Barrett solution.

Don't sell ammo, components, guns, spare parts or training to municipal, state, and government agencies. Military contracts are honored, but those for any other quasi-paramilitary LE outfits are canceled or not accepted.

If you can buy ammo or spare parts, you can only go so long before cannibalization of weapons reduces your serviceable numbers and training due to lack of ammo goes out the window.

"One of the few (only?) sectors of the economy that is working/growing right now and Colorado legislators want to drive it away?"

According to some small newspapers on the Range, the economy is booming and always increasing, unemployment's always going down (see more federal funding for more incoming poor residents: HUD, DUIs, domestic violence funding, public schools, police funding, other social services, environmentalism, animal rights, planning, inspecting, etc.), and revenues are always up, of course (big grain of salt needed there, I say). And real estate and property taxes are always booming and increasing, of course. *Cough* *Cough*

The Pansy Dems in the Colorado House just voted and passed the mag ban by voice vote.

[familyop]

Thanks. Bad news but not unexpected, of course. So in the Senate, 20 Democrats, 15 Republicans? Is that right?

[Red Steel]

Right 20 to 15. Now debating HB13-1229 for ‘Background Checks for Gun Transfers’. The Rs are putting up big fights, but as we know, the Ds are intent on ramming them through. Another bill full of problems.

I’ll be back later....

"The Rs are putting up big fights, but as we know, the Ds are intent on ramming them through. Another bill full of problems."

Yes. Apparently, there were investments. Notice the date.

Some poster on the Denver Post forum said this as to why there was not an actual vote.

“It was not necessary today. Later tonight or Monday when the 3rd and final reading is conducted the GOP leadership will call for a roll call vote.”

I hope so. I want to see these guys on record.

[familyop]

Thanks. Republicans need roll call votes. Otherwise, suspicions of bipartisan support will follow.

If the magazine vote passes all the way (Senate, etc.), it will go well with the drought forecast for future revenues and debt. Salazar spoke a prediction of three or four decades of drought ahead (wanting more fed funding, no doubt).

I’ve thought about Obama/Fed payoff $$ has crossed my mind more than once for Colorado for being good little Dems.

[Lurker]

Magpul should announce loudly that they will not only leave Colorado but no longer sell their products to ANY Colorado State Agency and that includes any active duty US military personnel.

Time to play hardball.
