Posted by Kromey at 1:32pm Feb 23 '13i don't see the hypocrisy. are those in favor of banning high-capacity magazines also really upset that magpul is thinking of leaving? are they really trying to convince the company to stay?
Uh... yes. Why would I say "the hypocrites will happily allow the company to continue to sell its products to out-of-state customers so they can continue to reap the rewards to their state's economy" if they weren't doing exactly that?
i don't think you can really call a government hypocritical for taxing a legitimate corporation
Uh... where did I say that it was?
nor do i find anything wrong with saying "we're going to stand up for what we believe in, even if it means less money". isn't that kind of the opposite of hypocritical?
Again, where did I say that it was?
What I actually said is that if the governor is so worried about the effects of losing $67 million, how bad is losing $85 million going to be?
"ooh, we're not allowed to sell one of our most profitable products here! let's fire everyone and move somewhere else!" that's mature.
That's natural -- banning a product and expecting its manufacturer to stick around is just unrealistic and absurd. Any time you ban something, you have to expect that you're going to drive away that business, costing jobs and economic stimulus.
