If this crap sticks, might we see semiautomatic pistols sold with NON-removable 10 or 13-count magazines? A permanent magazine that would be loaded like a shotgun, or like the first repeating rifles? Cartridges would still go into an area in the handle, but you could only load it via the mainframe of the weapon.

The proposed law here in Oregon earlier this month accounted for that. It basically said any firearm capable of more than 10 rounds was an “assault weapon” and thus banned, well they’d let you register one firearm (and require home inspections). They actually mention lever action guns in the law, aka tube fed magazines.

I’m pretty sure the 3 round shotgun limit is federal law for bird hunting. If you buy a shotgun with a “hunting barrel”, the tube magazine will have the dowel in it to limit it to 3 rounds (2 in the tube mag, one in the pipe).

“The story has gone viral on conservative websites, where headlines like “New York state offers $500 reward for reporting gun owners” and “Big Brother is bribing snitches” will give you a sense of the quality of the analysis.”

The lack of critical reasoning in the article is astounding. The reporter points out the law has been in effect for the past year without garnering controversy but fails to report that His-A$$hat-Majesty Governor Cuomo criminalized formerly legal gun owners with the stroke of a pen when he passed the SAFE Act.

I really hope Hillary doesn’t run in 2016(or if she does, fails to win the nomination). Cuomo and Bite Me are next in line and both are so dumb and out-of-touch, even McCain would be able to beat them.

Cuomo might force Hillary to the left on the gun issue in the primaries, which would hurt her big time in the general. what’s important is that Cuomo does in fact run, and to think he once made me nervous.

“…still forbid New Yorkers from loading more than 7 rounds into those magazines.”

He is going after the stupid governor crown.

liberals can never admit when they are wrong. they will do and say whatever it takes to make being wrong seem right.

They can’t admit to being wrong, when in their minds they aren’t. What seems to be “wrong” was just something done with an approach that didn’t work out quite as hoped for, so the approach needs to be constantly honed and crafted a bit differently to achieve and perfect the correct outcome.

I mean, if Edison didn’t give up on the incandescent light bulb after thousands of trials, why should leftists ever give up on any of their schemes.

you see cumo was right in his mind and this new bill will prove it ////

William Jacobson calls this new idea “irrational and arbitrary.” It’s also dumber than a box of rocks, and anyone with a hint of self-awareness would have realized it before the press release went out.

No, it’s not dumb when your goal is to unarm the American people by making them criminals. It’s going to come down to the individual state’s constitution, and unless it overrides Federal agencies, even a picture of your kids holding a gun will be justification for DCFS getting involved. It has already happened in New Jersey.

In order to ensure all weapons are retrofitted, you would need an inventory or registry of all weapons. Could that be their “in” to getting legislation passed for the recently discussed “federal registry” for weapons? Things that make you go “hmmmm”.

THAT in my view is their ultimate goal. Even the new laws in Colorado cannot possibly be enforced without a government registry of ALL existing weapons and magazines. For Colorado, if lawsuits and recalls don’t overturn the new laws, some Demtard will eventually use the unenforceability to try to implement a registry. After which comes the confiscation……

WRONG! Look up Chico Marx – the resemblance is striking!

I stand corrected. Good call.

A possibility for newly manufactured weapons from here out, but there would certainly be an uproar on how to deal with existing weapons. And asking everyone to bring their weapons back to be retrofitted would be unrealistic and unworkable.

Of course, as I say that it occurs to me…
