Someone had better check in on Piers Morgan, Jim Carrey and Michael Moore, because if they get a look at what’s going on at the Farewell to Arms Freedom Festival in Glendale, Colo., today, heads will certainly explode. In March, Gov. John Hickenlooper signed into law a number of gun control restrictions, including a ban on magazines with a capacity of more than 15 rounds, that are driving manufacturers like Magpul out of the state.
(For those readers who aren’t firearms experts like Colorado Rep. Diana DeGette, magazines “are ammunition, they’re bullets, so the people who have those now, they’re going to shoot them.”)
Not surprisingly, residents are buying up the supply while they can, and today they’re sending off the 30-round magazine in style.
It's official. @ChrisLoesch singing the Anthem. @DLoesch revving the crowd and I'll even MC! #mags4freedom pic.twitter.com/pc13xevE9J

The highlight of the event comes at 5 p.m., when radio host Dana Loesch arrives via helicopter bearing cases of 30-round magazines. Sweet.

It’s hysterical how CO thinks a murderer will be less likely to murder if his or her mag holds 15 as opposed to 30 rounds. #mags4freedom

@DLoesch They don't think that. It's incremental gun control. They know they can't get it all at once.

If my FIL wanted to gift my son a deer rifle it would be illegal in CO. #mags4freedom

#COleg actions forced #Magpul to leave the state and take its jobs and revenue with it. #mags4freedom

Proceeds from the event will go to support Second Amendment causes, including the effort to recall Colorado Senate President John Morse. Organizers collected more than 10,000 verified signatures to initiate the recall, 3,000 more than needed.
Proceeds raised from #mags4freedom go to recalling CO Senate Prez Morse and fighting anti-2A laws.

Pot was legalized because it went to a vote of the people. The people did NOT get to vote on mags. #mags4freedom

If mag restriction was left to a vote of the people it would not have passed. #mags4freedom #theblueprint

Update:
Look out, Rep. Joe Salazar: Dana’s on her way, and if she gets confused and feels threatened, she might just “pop off” a few rounds in a panic. Women, huh?
Air drop in the #Magpul chopper! #mags4freedom http://t.co/WYFTLUtT0I
