The Washington Times<\/a> reports that Magpul, the company that makes those excellent magazines for AR-style rifles along with other modifications to the popular rifle, has joined with 54 Colorado sheriff departments in a Federal lawsuit against Colorado’s new gun ban legislation. Magpul says although it’s joined in the lawsuit, it’s still leaving the state, according to a post on their Facebook page<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Just to clarify, we are still moving, regardless of the outcome of this legal action. That train has left the station, and we are well into the selection and negotiation process as well as arranging many elements to be prepared to launch and already moving some production out of state.<\/p>\n

This lawsuit, however, could have national implications. If this suit can get a mag ban struck down as unconstitutional, the nation may see a ripple effect across other states who choose not to trust their Citizens with their natural rights. That makes this fight worth fighting even more than just the implications for CO, which would have been enough to get us involved.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cThis isn\u2019t good public policy. These are really awful bills,\u201d said Weld County Sheriff John Cooke at a Friday press conference. \u201cThey are unenforceable and encourage disrespect for the law, which puts both law enforcement and the public in greater danger.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Democratic state legislature approved the bills, along with a third bill requiring gun owners to pay for their own background checks, with no Republican votes. Democratic state Sen. Mary Hodge issued a statement Friday accusing the sheriffs of \u201cplaying politics.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe can\u2019t just sit by and do nothing while first-graders and moviegoers are being mowed down in one fell swoop with weapons equipped with large-capacity magazines,\u201d said Ms. Hodge. \u201cIt\u2019s time to stop playing politics and start protecting Coloradans from massacres and unnecessary gun violence.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Yeah, the sheriffs and Magpul are playing politics while the hippies wave bloody shirts claiming that they’re “doing something” dredging up images of dead children regardless of the fact that doing something, this legislation, will actually do nothing in The Greater Scheme of Things.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
