It's not like the state is imposing some extra tax or fees that cut into their precious profits. Most of their shipments probably go to the bigger gun loving states anyway. The magazine bans in this state certainly aren't going to send them into bankruptcy. They just have to be whiny-pissy pants because they are soooo persecuted and it's just not fair
