From the link:
"Magazines holding more than 10 rounds were banned for 10 years under the Federal Assault Weapons Ban of 1994. "We cannot clearly credit the ban with any of the nation's recent drop in gun violence," the Department of Justice-funded study concluded in 2004. "Should it be renewed, the ban's effects on gun violence are likely to be small at best and perhaps too small for reliable measurement.""

And then:
"There's no reason why anyone, other than military, needs a gun magazine that holds more than 10 rounds," DeGette said. "It's past time for Congress to act on common-sense gun safety measures such as this. Banning the sale of high-capacity magazines in this country will save lives and Congress needs to act on this legislation immediately."

Some people never learn... “The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results”

AKA the "Keep Americans Safe Act". Doesn't have a number yet that I can find.

And the obligatory "some people here voted for this".

except, this guy maybe


or this family


I mean, we can keep providing examples but I'm steering away from the "mostly peaceful" type for the moment

“Oh shut up silly voter!”
The Democrat said with a grin
You knew I was a snake
When you voted me in

What I do not need is some congress *****telling me what I do or do not need to protect my loved ones, my property, or myself.

I'll tell you whay, *****. If you want them, you come get them yourself.

This ***** can go STRAIGHT TO HELL.

I've had my fill of animals like this, those of their ilk, and those that support them.

I’m surprised it took THIS long.

I’ve quite literally spent a small fortune on magazines this past year while they were still cheap/available...all for personal use.

I’ve explained here before that I hail from the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. When I moved here in late 2019, I started buying everything I could get my hands on.

I wasn’t taking any chances, and I’m really glad I did what I did. Even if they pass this garbage, there’s not even even close to a snowballs chance in hell that they would ever even recover a percentage of the magazines in circulation.

They can go fly a kite, or they can have the bullets first (then the mags of they make it that far).

Doesn’t sound like they’re coming for anything… The ones we have would be grandfathered (bless their kind hearts!). We just wouldn’t be able to sell or transfer them...

Not necessarily, they mention a buy back program. which if you read the tea leaves, means they could ban then outright, and offer to buy them from you instead of making you a felon....

How would they be able to track the billions of mags in this country? They cannot stop the drug dealers now. How could they control the actions of millions of legal gun owners? This insanity is off the charts.

just like they do with shotguns for bird hunting, you cut 2 dowel rods and inset them into the mag springs to act as a 10 round limiter!!!!!

Trust me it's not off the charts. It doesn't even reach the top 20 with this administration.

What administration? It is called a DICTATORSHIP!!!!!!!

I agree. There is no way to enforce this legally.

They wouldn’t have to. Just stop selling them to us who don’t (or no longer) enforce the law... and high-profile ATF-STING a few private sellers after the ban. Job done.

Edit: and only sell 10-rounders with all new firearms... anyone want a G17 with the same capacity as a G26?

 

[indykid]

If they "grandfather" standard capacity mags, limiting the remaining to ten rounds and ban the sale or transfer of prohibited capacity mags, I am sure a criminal who wants a mag is going to be told "no" by his contacts because they are now illegal to transfer.

Is there anybody with a brain left in our government?

It isn't about reducing crime or increasing safety. It is ALL about control.
