Here's the note I just sent Gov. Hickenlooper
Dear Gov. Hickenlooper,
As ski enthusiasts, my family and I frequent CO (various resorts/mountains) annually to ski and have thoroughly enjoyed our experiences over the years.
Having said that, we also are very intentional with how and where we commit our resources. Given the recent legislation (not just the noted bill above - you can only pick one here), however, we will no longer visit Colorado for our vacations (and will be sure to convince all of our friends who ski to do the same) if all of these draconian bills are signed into law.
Candidly, I hope that Magpul (and others) also vote with their resources and relocate their business to another state. Sometimes it is necessary for actions, versus words, to demonstrate how truly serious we are about our rights.
Drafting, passing and enacting laws based on emotion versus factual/logical impact is simply unacceptable and is contrary to effective governance. "See what I did to protect you?" is not a strong platform upon which legislators should campaign during an election cycle. Sadly, career politics has poisoned the well.
We sincerely hope you will consider these circumstances when you weigh whether or not to sign these "gun control" bills into law. As drafted, and in my humble opinion, none will have a significant impact on the intent.
Respectfully,
XXXXXX
Orlando, FL
