DENVER Democrats came under heavy criticism Friday for driving Magpul Industries out of Colorado by pushing an aggressive gun-control agenda, a move that could cost the state more than $80 million annually.
Republican state Rep. Lori Saine said she was saddened to see this completely partisan law, widely considered unenforceable by sheriffs across Colorado, cause Magpul to leave our state.
The magazine ban did not garner one Republican vote in the House or Senate, and now as a result of this one-sided, Democrat-sponsored law, more than 200 people will lose their jobs and their ability to provide for their families, said Ms. Saine in a statement. [T]his move will cost the state of Colorado over $80 million a year in revenue.

“RATS aren’t interested in jobs.”
Isn’t it interesting that they’ll destroy the currency, destroy jobs in legitimate industries, but legalize pot.
That’s absolutely amazing.
IMHO

I know Brian DelGrosso, and his wife Amber. Used to work for them. I’m seriously considering running against State Rep. Dave Young, but there are so many skeletons.

Like the way Rome went, so we are in the process of destroying America. And the GOP don’t give a damn. Colorado is a perfect example of communists trying to run things and in their attempt are destroying themselves.
To: Libloather
RATS aren't interested in jobs.
Looting is much more profitable; even it it weren't profitable, they'd still prefer looting to working because it horrifies ordinary Americans.

One suspects that the $80 mil figure is quite low. 80MM/600 = only about 133K. Whomever did the calcs did not adequately include the removal of multiplier effects.
My guess? A minimum of 160 million dollars per year, lost to the once-great state of Colorado.
