Magpul Industries has adamantly opposed Colorado House Bill 1224 because it will not enhance public safety and will only restrict law abiding citizens from protecting their homes and families. Magpul strongly believes that Governor Hickenlooper should veto HB 1224 based on these policy grounds.
Recent reports also demonstrate that House Bill 1224 has a much broader scope than supporters intended or disclosed, as was argued on the Senate floor. Magpul retained the law firm of Holland & Hart LLP to review the scope of HB 1224’s regulations. The results were striking. The report made the following conclusions:
1) HB 1224 restricts the sale, possession, inheritance, and transfer of nearly all firearm magazines, regardless of capacity.
2) HB 1224 bans the possession, sale and transfer of certain existing firearms.
3) HB 1224 will be virtually impossible to implement and enforce.
4) HB 1224, as written, would be one of the most expansive gun bills implemented in the United States.
Holland & Hart incorporated these findings into a letter to Governor Hickenlooper urging him to veto HB 1224. Attached is a copy of the letter sent to Governor Hickenlooper on March 15, 2014, with the primary conclusions highlighted in yellow.

Hittllooter.
California is proof that having gone broke is no incentive for progressives to pull one’s head out of their butt.
Actually, Hick is not term limited. This is his first term. That’s why the Tea Party sticking us with Dan Maes (the undercover cop who was soooo undercover even the police department didn’t know about him) hurts so much. Hick is in for eight years, guaranteed.
I don’t know what Hick is thinking, either. I thought he was positioning himself for a possible presidential run after Barry leaves the country in ruins and Dems might start to look for an alternative to their loony left. But now Hick has definitely sided with the loonies, so I don’t know what he is doing.
