| 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.

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.

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.

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.

At a government panel to discuss social security reforms, the former prime minister called the elderly who are unable to feed themselves “tube people,” then proceeded to say the elderly should be allowed to “hurry up and die” to reduce the burden on a country tasked to pay for their medical expenses.

Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise. Interestingly enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing, there is little to no trend in the number of those who express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People aren’t saying they don’t believe in God. They’re saying they don’t believe in religion. They are not rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church. This begs the question, “Why are we losing our religion?”

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank
