HiViz Shooting Systems intends to leave Colorado in the wake of new state gun control legislation signed into law last month, according to the Northern Colorado Business Report.
The Fort Collins company, which makes sights, recoil pads and other accessories, started in 1996. But like Magpul Industries Inc. of Boulder County, HiViz said it's not happy with the gun control measures approved by the Colorado Legislature and signed into law by Gov. John Hickenlooper. Magpul Industries announced last month it will be leaving Colorado.

They better care! People need jobs and when the gov't does something to take thm away they get upset. This also effects the economy of that state through sales, taxes, licenses, etc.

Liberal logic: who needs jobs when you can print all the money you need?

You're missing my point. They have already written those jobs off. They want all guns and any companies that deal with guns gone. They don't consider them lost jobs, They consider it part of the grand scheme. Besides, they can just raise others taxes to offset the temporary loss of revenue.

with the current political situation in Virginia I would bet no pro 2A company is looking to move here. By 2016 we could be looking like Colorado if we don't get our S together and politically fight back. Why would any company want to move twice?
