Gun accessory manufacturer Magpul Industries wasn’t bluffing.
The company vowed to leave the “occupied territory” of Colorado after Gov. Hickenlooper signed anti-gun measures into law. And yesterday, Magpul announced it will relocate its corporate headquarters to Texas and manufacturing and distribution facilities to Wyoming — “states that support our culture of individual liberties and personal responsibility.”
Bada bing, announcement made for those wondering. http://t.co/Dwjs898e8I

GOP state Sen. Greg Brophy is running for governor in Colorado and blasted Hickenlooper for cozying up to fellow gun-grabber Mike Bloomberg.
.@Magpul_HQ is moving to TX & WY. @hickforco could have stood for jobs and liberty in CO. Instead he stood w/ Bloomberg #cogov #coleg

2014 starts with @Magpul_HQ announcing move to TX & WY. A reminder of the extreme legislative accomplishments of 2013, #hicked

2013 started w/ @Magpul_HQ planning expansion in CO. 2014 starts with them going to TXT and WY. @GovernorPerry given a layup. #hicked
— Greg (@SenatorBrophy) January 2, 2014
.@hickforco is asking for $600,000 from taxpayers to defend the gun control bills in court. Maybe he should ask Bloomberg instead of us

Buh-bye, Magpul? Buh-bye, Hickenlooper.
