Magpul leaves a parting gift in Colorado after ban: 1,500 free 30-round magazines

As a final protest of Colorado’s new high-capacity magazine ban going into effect on Monday, Magpul Industries is giving away 1,500 30-round magazines on Saturday during an event the company calls “Farewell to Arms.”

They will be given away on a first-come first-served basis at Infinity Park in Glendale, near Denver.

Magpul has just jumped way up my "good company" list. +1 Trillion to this fly the bird proud gesture on behalf of the 2A. :D

Organizers say some 5,000 people attended the "Farewell to Arms Freedom" festival, which was hosted by Free Colorado, a nonprofit group that advocates for firearms rights.

Hours before the event began, people formed a line over a half- mile long outside the park. The first 1,500 who were at least 18 years old were handed tickets they could redeem for a free 30-round magazine, courtesy of Magpul Industries.

Magpul donated a total of 20,000 magazines for the event, which featured live music, speakers and food. All the free magazines arrived, with great fanfare, via helicopter. The rest were sold at a discounted price of $10, with all of the proceeds going to the group's recall efforts against state Senate President John Morse and state Sen. Angela Giron, both Democrats.

I personally saw a 30 round magazine 3D printed at PorcFest.  It worked too!

Heck yeah, very awesome.  Not for the people who have to suffer because of a ban though.
