| Erie, Colo. – A Colorado company is threatening to leave the state if a bill to ban high-capacity ammunition magazines becomes law. CBS4 Investigator Rick Sallinger toured the company in Erie. They said they would certainly prefer to stay. The company is called Magpul. Among other products, they make ammunition magazines which can hold up to 30 rounds. Tuesday night a state House committee took the first step towards banning them. The company’s chief operating officer, Doug Smith, made it clear to the state legislature that if the bill becomes law they will leave Colorado.

FTA: "Among other products, they make ammunition magazines which can hold up to 30 rounds."
Standard capacity, in other words. They make good stuff. Numerous states would welcome their business.

We are splitting into separate nations. One will work, the other will not. The latter will then scream bloody murder about "Fairness," and take every dime they can get under any circumstances and by any means necessary.
Fortunately, they have thoughtfully disarmed themselves.

Not only that, the makers of automatic rifles, what the dim´s like to call assault weapons, should refuse to sell their weapons to ans law-enforcement in that state that passes the ban. if the public can´t have them neither should the cops.

Now if the manufacturers of ammo would somehow not fulfill the orders of the Feds, you know, oops, sorry, that´s on back order, and supply WalMart, Cabelas, Gander Mountain, and Billy Bob´s Shooting Supplies...

These are our elected officials trying to blame inanimate objects again. They should be talking about keeping guns out of the hands of mentally unstable people instead of trying to limit magazine capacity. Lawful gun ownership should not suffer because of a few screwballs that get hold of guns, most of the time illeaglly, and go on rampages with them. These idiots in State Houses across the country that want to confiscate guns don´t know the first thing about guns. They don´t want you to have guns because they cannot trust themselves with guns.

#5, makers of selective fire rifles and submachine guns ought to refuse to sell to any governmental level that insists on violating a citizen´s 2nd amendment right.
You see, the second amendment doesn´t say, "except if the feds or states don´t want the citizens to have it", so the 1934 act and the 1968 act and the 1986 acts all ought to go the way of the dinosaur - back to the way it was prior to 1934. The citizens should be as well armed or better than the federal government. If you want a 155mm in your front yard and can afford it, knock yourself out. Though the powder and shells cost a lot more than rifle rounds. Want an M1 MBT? If you can afford it - I hear its mileage isn´t that great.

Gosh, it´s getting easier and easier for Texas to recruit those out-of-state employers.
Almost makes it too easy. We may need to do background checks on new employers and employees (no liberals allowed).

Smith & Wesson, Colt, Ruger, Sig Sauer, and Glock -- are you paying attention? You need to fight back like this company against states and the fed government when they pass laws to restrict access to your products. QUIT SELLING ARMS TO STATES THAT ATTACK YOU!
If you don´t fight you will be out of business in the near future.

#13 - it´s 50 miles one way! That ought to be a beauty of a commute with winter storms rolling through.
Regardless, the bigger picture (which the Leftists clearly missed) is that businesses leaving a state (see California) is no way to be jamming legislation through.

Thanks to that regressive disfunctional peacock named Cuomo, Remington Arms is in the same situation. About 6-8 states have already contacted them to woo them out of NY. Remington should move and take their 1500 workers with them.

Around the same time the nation was transfixed on the hunt for the Boston Marathon bombers last month, thieves on the other side of the country pulled off a little-noticed heist -- swiping 559 pounds of explosives from a federal storage facility in Montana. As of Friday, not one ounce of it has been found. The incident, federal officials believe, was not terrorism-related. But it´s the latest to raise security concerns in an age when authorities are warning about the desire of violence-bent terrorists to inflict mass casualties with bombs.

President Obama found himself weathering bipartisan broadsides Wednesday as he sent Congress his 2014 budget proposal, which in its effort to please both sides of the aisle has ended up angering both. The budget arrived on Capitol Hill Wednesday morning, delivered 65 days after the legal deadline. The $3.77 trillion spending plan, which is over 2,000 pages, tries to curb deficits by further raising taxes on top earners and reining in the growth of Social Security.

Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick, once seen as a rising star in Democratic Party politics, was convicted on Monday on two dozen federal charges of corruption and bribery while in office. U.S. prosecutors accused Kilpatrick, 42, his father and a city contractor of widespread corruption, extorting bribes from contractors who wanted to be awarded or keep city contracts, turning the mayor´s office into "Kilpatrick Incorporated" during his seven year tenure.

The Internal Revenue Service on Friday unveiled its proposal to raise tens of billions of dollars through annual fees on health insurers, prompting fierce criticism from industry groups who warn the costs will be passed along to consumers. The proposed rule from President Obama´s healthcare law will be published for public consideration in Monday’s Federal Register. The rule would assess annual fees on most insurers that would total $8 billion next year and rise thereafter, eclipsing $14 billion in 2018, according to the IRS.

Another member of the Washington political media stepped forward Thursday to claim he was threatened by the Obama White House, shortly after the White House denied reports that an adviser threatened famed Watergate journalist Bob Woodward. The latest claim comes from Lanny Davis, who served as counsel to former President Bill Clinton and later went on to write a column for The Washington Times.

The fiscal crisis plaguing Detroit is now in the hands of Michigan´s governor after a state-appointed review team determined the city was in a financial emergency with "no satisfactory plan" to resolve it. Republican Gov. Rick Snyder has 30 days to decide if Detroit needs an emergency manager to take charge of its finances and spending, and come up with a new plan to get the city out of its financial mess. (Snip)The report also said the city´s bureaucratic structure makes it difficult to solve the financial problems. Intro repaired by staff

Watching President Obama trying to dodge raindrops and responsibility yesterday reminded me of the moment when Dorothy pulls back the curtain and discovers that the Wizard of Oz is “just a man.” Stripped of his spell of mystery and power, the wizard is worse than mortal. He’s a fake. So it was with Obama in the Rose Garden. His performance was tired and trite, ordinary to the point of dull. His veneer of passion was so transparent that you could see him trying to summon his old-time magic by pushing the buttons

STANDING BEFORE reporters Thursday, President Obama declined an invitation to compare the recent scandals weighing down his administration with those that forced President Nixon to resign in 1974. So allow us to do the work for him: There is no comparison. Nixon, in a series of crimes that collectively came to be known as Watergate, directed from the White House and Justice Department a concerted campaign against those he perceived as political enemies, in the process subverting the FBI, the IRS, other government agencies and the electoral process to his nefarious purposes. Mr. Obama has done nothing of the kind.

The State Department, under Secretary Hillary Rodham Clinton, created an arrangement for her longtime aide and confidante Huma Abedin to work for private clients as a consultant while serving as a top adviser in the department. Ms. Abedin did not disclose the arrangement — or how much income she earned — on her financial report. It requires officials to make public any significant sources of income. An adviser to Mrs. Clinton, Philippe Reines, said that Ms. Abedin was not obligated to do so. The disclosure of the agreement that Ms. Abedin made with the State Department comes as her husband,

The White House on Wednesday released 94 pages of emails between top administration and intelligence officials who helped shape the talking points about the attacks in Benghazi, Libya, that the CIA would provide to policymakers in both the legislative and executive branches. The documents, first reported by THE WEEKLY STANDARD in articles here and here, directly contradict claims by White House press secretary Jay Carney and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton that the revisions of those talking points were driven by the intelligence community and show heavy input from top Obama administration officials, particularly those at the State Department.

That they see a president who´s very vulnerable politically. Is there a danger that they will overreach?" Chief White House correspondent Chuck Todd agreed with the slanted premise: "There is. I mean, that´s what happened to Republicans in 1998 with Bill Clinton.

President Obama’s press conference in the rain was not a success, if by success, his supporters would mean an event which convinces anyone who doesn’t work for him that he’s getting ahead of the scandal deluge. The sight of a Marine holding an umbrella over his head only added to the weirdness of the event. So what did we learn? 1. He has full confidence in Attorney General Eric Holder, the man who purportedly recused himself (whenever) without putting it in writing (whatever).

“I look forward to taking some questions at tomorrow’s press conference,” President Obama said last night, after announcing the resignation of the acting IRS commissioner Steven Miller. The president scheduled a noon press conference today with Turkish Prime Minister Recep Tayyip Erdogan in honor of his visit. Reporters, however, found themselves waiting outside in the rain for Obama, who was 47 minutes late. Only New York Times reporter Mark Landler had an umbrella.
