Magpul Donates ‘High Capacity’ Mags for Recall of Pro-Gun Control Dems (20,000 Mags)

Washington DC - -(Ammoland.com)-Magpul Industries donated 20,000 so called “high capacity” magazines to a June 29 2013 gun rights rally in Glendale, CO, for the purpose of raising money for the recall of state Sens. John Morse and Angela Giron–two Democrats who both supported the gun control measures that become law on July 1 2013.

The Denver Post reported that the rally was sponsored by Free Colorado, “a nonprofit group that advocates for firearms rights.”

Denver-based Magpul makes 30-round magazines for AR-15 rifles, and the company made news in early March by promising to take its$85 million in annual profit and leave Colorado if the gun control laws were passed.

Now that the laws are in effect, Magpul is openly shopping for a state to which it can relocate, but is doing what it can to help recall Democrats who supported gun control in the meantime.

At the June 29 2013 rally, that meant giving away 30-round magazines to the first 1,500 people over 18 years old in attendance and donating another 18,500 magazines to be sold at a discount price to raise money for the recall of Morse and Giron.

The magazines Magpul gave away and sold on June 29 are no longer available under the ban that took effect today July 1 2013.

I have a Magpul 30 round AR15 magazine that my wife won at an event hosted by our awesome Sheriff, Terry Maketa (El Paso County, CO).

They make a very good magazine.

I used to use whatever I could get my hands on, except the cheap government issue mags with the light green follower. (They really suck)

Not any more! At home and work I'm carrying Magpul.

I try and use Magpul products when possible due their political and business ethics...... Major portion of my M4geries furniture parts are Magpul products.

Voting with our dollars between elections is the most important thing a real conservative patriot can do IMO.

I take the time to research where a product is made, what the companies politics are and who they support. What state profits from the companies taxes , employees etc ... Their past record versus any future promises is key for me also before i make a decision to spend a dollar if at all possible.

Starve the rats ....

Go Magpul !

Magpul move their manufacturing base out of Colorado yet ?

Stay safe !

Not sure. Think I heard they were going to “diversify” their operation. Sounds like a good plan.
