And in a way that sticks its finger as far up the eye socket of the Colorado legislature as possible.
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 am impressed. Sorry about the people losing their jobs, though. I’ve been there, and it sucks. Wonder how many will be offered, or decide to take, a chance to relocate?

I wonder if Magpul, when deciding the logistics of this “orderly transition,” could decline to offer relocation and continued employment to any registered Democrat currently employed by them? Only seems fair that they should bear the brunt of this bill and its effects.
“a few hundred thousand magazines out to CO residents…a small portion of our monthly production.”
I’m just a little curious what people are doing with all of these soon to be “illegal” magazines… a few HUNDRED THOUSAND – a MONTH? Or did I read that wrong? Even one time, that’s a LOT of magazines.
For some reason, I don’t think this bodes well for Colorado “lawmakers.” Or their “enforcers.” This is, of course, dependent on how much ammo the good folks have to put into these devices… but I don’t think it’s any real mystery why so many sheriffs have decided they are not going to play this game.
“occupied territory”
“Boulder Airlift”
“only allowed us to get a few hundred thousand magazines out to CO residents”
“allocated a little over a million magazines for the effort”
I sooo like these folks.
Re: Magpul jobs- Says here that they plan to open three new sites in order to be “more diverse geographically”. That probably means more positions, and I expect they’ll try to conserve their existing base of experienced employees by relocating as many as possible. Someone is going to have to train the new hires, after all.
Fleece, I’m not much of one for regulations but setting that precedent would essentially open the door for corporations to “buy” their employee’s votes. I’m not too happy with the current political system but I shudder to think of the day when every corporation controls thousands of votes to my one.
