Colorado, Magpul and the Second Amendment Need Your Help

**Seagunner** · 02-11-13, 03:41

Anybody see this over on Soldier Systems. New bills in CO, this one noted below would mean Magpul would have to cease manufacturing 30 round Pmags by July 1, 2013.

And finally, HB 1224, Prohibiting Large Capacity Ammunition Magazines–a measure that bans the possession, sale, or transfer of magazines over 10 round capacity. The measures and stipulations in this bill would deprive CO residents of the value of their private property by prohibiting the sale or transfer of all magazines over 10 rounds. This bill would also prohibit manufacture of magazines greater than 10 rounds for commercial sale out of the state, and place restrictions on the manufacture of military and law enforcement magazines that would cripple production.

Just read about this from Magpuls FB update. Fight like hell guys. (Plan B: move your operation to Utah, Wyoming, or Texas)

Magpul to my knowledge is the 1st firearm company posting on facebook or any other social media that they would pull out if the restrictions are passed.

Here in MD Beretta informed the state senate committee on AWB, that the states decision could impact x number of jobs in MD.

Seems that would be a state law interfering with and inhibiting interstate commerce, which would violate the legal doctrine of the Dormant Commerce Clause.

Minnesota has similar legislation pending - here's Senate testimony from DPMS...(let's look beyond the brand and focus on the concept
