Chopayne, That is exactly my point. We are thinking alike, I'm just suggesting we apply the same logic to the liberals... a political jiu-jitsu if you will...
If the liberals realize these new laws actually "hurt their own pockets", they will reverse them. Again, I realize the short term results of a boycott impact good people, but if these laws continue to pass incrementally, the way of life you are protecting won't exist at all in the future. The only way to change the minds of the liberals is to create a direct connection between the laws they pass and a negative experience that impacts them.
Magpul understands this. They recognize the short term pain of up rooting their business and moving to a new state will have short term "pain", but its the right thing to do to protect their long term business.

So, I have been doing a lot of thinking on the whole boycott idea. Personally, I feel any hunters that are actually planning on boycotting Colorado is totally ignorant as you aren’t impacting anyone who is not on the gun rights side. So, who can you actually boycott that could actually make a difference?
I quick google search on the Colorado economy points us in a few directions.
In terms of revenue generated, Colorado's top five agricultural products are cattle and calves, dairy products, corn for grain, greenhouse and nursery products, and hogs
So, we could stop eating beef, corn products, any dairy and the wonderful swine. Nursery products, my wife isn’t going to be happy about that one, but we all have to pull together.
Leading manufactured products are scientific instruments (medical instruments, devices for measuring electric current).
Computers and communications equipment are the leading types of machinery manufactured Colorado.
The state's food processing manufacturing industries (beer brewing, soft drink bottling, meat-packing, and production of animal feed), rank third.
Other manufactured products include electrical equipment (computer components, telephone equipment, television cameras), fabricated metals (metal doors), leather and leather products (luggage), and paper (newspaper and business forms
I guess we could also stop wearing anything cotton, and if happen to need to have any surgeries planed you could ask that only items not from Colorado be used. This one hurts, your going to have to give up pop and beer too. Ouch. And, you’re going to have to stop posting to this website because your computer might have something manufactured in Colorado.
Oil, coal, and natural gas are Colorado's chief mined products.
Well, summer is almost here, we can all peddle around on our bikes and use solar ovens to cook since we will be boycotting electricity and natural gas.
So, boycotters, since you feel the need to boycott, why don’t you boycott these products/industries as they actually have the money to change politicians minds. Mom and Pop shops that would/can be affected by “Boycott Colorado” don’t.
What I will be doing is voting this fall, and every fall as I always have, and talking and educating those who have different beliefs that have been formed by ignorance.

Colorado is also very dependant on the military. We have 6 military bases that I can think of. I'm not really sure how to boycott the military so you might just have to look at anyone in a military uniform and tell them that you are boycotting them. Maybe you could tell the feds that you aren't going to pay 40% of your taxes since it goes to the military (just a guess on the percentage)
And, since Norad is in Colorado, you might have to tell Santa to cross you off his list. Santa can't find your house without Norad, or maybe the news just can't tell you when he is going to get to your house. Either way, have Santa to cross your name off. Maybe he as a list for Boycotters that isn't the naughty or nice list?

Allen,
I will continue to hunt/spend my hard earned dollars
In colorado whenever I can and support the hunting
Community that are fighting to change things back
To something that makes sense.
When I vote, I'll make sure it's for intelligent
People that support freedom, the second
Amendment, our opportunity to hunt and
Ways to curb the global rise in temps which
In the long run may well be the biggest threat
There is to our continued ability to hunt
Or exist for that matter.
In the mean time, I wish you the best of
Luck in however you decide to express
Your dislike to the knee jerk reaction that
None of us like.
