Hi Cap mag ban this Tuesday

[KBScobravert]

I like my 16 round XD mags because when I only load 10 rounds it doesn't kill my fingers from trying to max the mag out. I actually enjoy loading 5 rounds at a time into several mags to force me to work on mag changes and recognizing the last round fired. If I had to go to nothing by 10 round mags my fingers would get blisters so I hope this bill doesn't pass. lol

On a completely related matter, if you see a guy at the Market Hall gun show loading crates of high capacity magazines into a white Dodge truck with a fork lift this weekend, that's me!

If you need a hand, I'll help...for a few of those magazines.

I'll be out there pretty early on Saturday.

This is so ignorant.

Try this on for size:

"The only reason to have 33 bullets loaded in a handgun is to kill a lot of people very quickly. These high-capacity clips simply*should*not be on the market,"*Lautenberg added.**

the co-author of the bill.

In practice, her reform would have meant that the suspect Jared Loughner could have fired half or less than half the 30 rounds he sprayed around to such catastrophic effect on Saturday morning

This is so ignorant.

I really hope you are right on this one CJ.

I really don't think it will happen, but i really fucking hate having my rights up for vote. Just about everyone involved in this shooting was pro-gun. I hope those fucks remember that. This liberal bitch was just waiting for this moment to spring her trap. I hope the senators see through this bs and think less of her sad ambulance chasing opportunistic ass.

And ill see you at the show. A lot of forum members will be there.

Commiefornia already has a 10 round max capacity, doesn't effect me any. Sucks that it could possibly pass though.

And some democrats will vote against it, and the house will almost certainly not have the necessary majority.

They are introducing it in the house and senate. The democrat controlled senate mind you.



I believe that some republicans will vote in favor of the ban.

I hope it doesn't pass. That's fucking ridiculous. Next, we should ban high capacity memory cards because it makes it easier for pedophiles to transfer large amounts of child porn. Let's address the fucking problem here...

I have a $100 gift card for Cabella's that I can use tomorrow on some more XD mags. I have WAY more than enough AR PMags and regular steel types than I could ever need.

Buy random ass mags for guns you dont own. The text of the bill is rumored to ban the "transfer" of said mags as well.

You can buy the guns later.

I really don't think it will pass, they don't have the votes.

on-high-capacity-magazines/


The office of Carolyn McCarthy, a Democratic congresswoman from New York, confirmed to me today that she will present a bill on Tuesday aiming to limit public purchasing of multi-round ammunition clips of the sort used in the Tucson shooting. Senator Frank Lautenberg of New Jersey will introduce the legislation in the Senate.

The legislation will give everyone a chance to focus on something concrete, rather than the over-heated arguments about over-heated rhetoric that has dominated the airwaves since six people were killed and Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and 13 others were injured.

Shams Tarek, McCarthy’s communications director, told me the bill “will apply solely to high capacity magazines for non-law enforcement civilians”. Likely exceptions will include the likes of retired police officers and guards protecting facilities such as nuclear plants.

“We are hopeful it will pass,” said Tarek. “There is precedent for this kind of statute, Congresswoman McCarthy has good relations with both sides of the aisle. We have made an effort to put something together that is realistic.”

A ban on the sale of ammunition clips of more than ten rounds was included in the 1994-2004 assault weapon ban. McCarthy regards reviving that as far too tall an order in the current pro-gun climate and is limiting herself to what she believes is achievable.

In practice, her reform would have meant that the suspect Jared Loughner could have fired half or less than half the 30 rounds he sprayed around to such catastrophic effect on Saturday morning

For advocates of greater gun controls, this may be a small victory, but it would be a victory nonetheless. Congress would not have acted if this had been a “normal” massacre at a some shopping mall, but it may now that one of its own has been nearly killed.

Democrats and liberals who have spent the past few days berating the other side for supposedly inciting violence – and in the process demonstrated how debased the political discourse has become – may perhaps be better served putting their energy behind McCarthy and Lautenberg.













I think this will pass. Buy them up gentlemen.
