Today is a sad day for law abiding gun owners in Colorado. Aggressive and unreasonable gun control advocates have officially pounded a stake into the heart of Colorado's history and heritage as a free western state.

Meanwhile, Magpul Industries Corp, a Colorado-based manufacturer of magazines for all kinds of firearms, is making good on two of its commitments - one to its customers and one to its (current) state legislature.
"With the signing of the HB 1224, we want to reassure Colorado residents, now officially in occupied territory, that the "Boulder Airlift" will continue until we can no longer legally ship to CO residents at the approach of the July 1 deadline, so long as demand continues.
We are looking at additional ways to give Coloradans the opportunity to buy the magazines they need prior to the enactment date, as although we've been swamped with tens of thousands of orders, our shipping department limitations have only allowed us to get a few hundred thousand magazines out to CO residents...a small portion of our monthly production. We'll continue to support the Airlift as long as demand exists, and up to the active date of the legislation, and we've allocated a little over a million magazines for the effort up to that point, give or take.
Customers in the rest of the country should rest assured that the airlift only takes a small portion of our production, and magazines and other products are continuing to ship to the rest of the nation. Our transition to a new home will occur in a phased and orderly a manner to allow us to continue to serve our customers during the move, as well as to allow an orderly transition for affected employees. We are actively working on those plans."

I believe Magpul previously remarked that Colorado law makers weren't even aware that Magpul was in their state when they made their overbearing gun control proposals. Then they tried to modify their proposals to allow Magpul to continue to operate in their state (so they could continue to collect tax revenue) even though many of their products could not be legally purchased by citizens of the state. Magpul said, 'no, thanks' and began planning to relocate to a more friendly state.

Read here to see that Senator Dianne Feinstein, Colorado legistors, and other gun control advocates most definitely do not have support of "all the police" as Feinstein has publicly claimed, including that of Colorado's Weld County Sheriff John Cooke.
It's also worthy of note that while the Colorado legislature was debating their proposals in committee, there was a group of sheriffs present to publicly oppose them but committees established rules and procedures that prevented them all from speaking about the various bills in different committees.
