Gunmaker packs up after Colo. control bill signed
Newly-assembled 30-round capacity ammunition magazines for high-velocity rifles are stacked awaiting packaging(snip)
Magpul may be the first firearms-related business to relocate as a result of state gun-control laws, but it probably wont be the last. Companies in Connecticut, Maryland and New York are considering moves to more gun-friendly pastures as their state legislatures act on restrictive firearms measures similar to those pushed through by state Democrats here.
Founded in 1999, Magpul stands as a relative newcomer to the firearms business, but even companies with hundreds of years of history in their states may look to relocate as a result of political shifts.
In New York, where Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo signed laws banning so-called assault weapons and limiting magazine capacity to seven rounds, venerable gun manufacturer Remington Arms is being wooed by officials in at least a half-dozen other states.
We are carefully evaluating our options, Teddy Novin, marketing director for Remington parent company Freedom Group, Inc., told the Utica Observer-Dispatch in January.
These companies need to all move to freedom-loving states and refuse to sell weapons or ammunition to governments that don’t allow citizens to have the same supplies.
And they all need to refuse to sell ANYTHING to Department of Homeland Security - at least until Janet Napolitano explains why she’s arming to the hilt with non-practice bullets, etc.
WTF is this all about? Is this a NEW and IMPROVED term the gun grabbers are trying? H-VR mags. Nice ring to it I guess but don't forget the phony "ASSAULT" terminology.
Is it now: High-Velocity Assault Weapon Magazines for short?
What a bunch of clowns.
