[Mosinowner]

A bill has been suggested that will make it impossible to sell and transfer assualt mags.Of course the brady bunch supports it. Do you think this will pass?

Need more data, can you provide the Bill Number, or a link to it?!

 

[hondatech2k2]

Yeah, more info please. What is an assault magazine?

If assault magazine means banning the enquirer at the grocery store then I'm all for it.

probably anything over ten rounds
I got this from Wikipedia

Assault rifle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The 1994 Federal Assault Weapons Ban, which expired on September 13, 2004, codified the definition of an assault weapon. It defined the rifle type of assault weapon as a semiautomatic firearm with the ability to accept a detachable magazine containing more than 10 rounds, and two or more of the following...

My dad actually read something about this in a recent gun magazine at wal-mart. Something about Obama has been talking secretly to the Bradies about really pushing this.

 

[Udderchaos]

Wide spread support of 70% of Americans. I don't remember being asked about this. Feed the fear b$..

You mean these two that haven't moved in almost 9 months?

Bill Summary & Status - 112th Congress (2011 - 2012) - H.R.308 - THOMAS (Library of Congress)

Bill Summary & Status - 112th Congress (2011 - 2012) - S.32 - THOMAS (Library of Congress)

And yes, the Brady Bunch proposed to re-enact the 10rd mag max.

Well, here is the status:

H.R. 308: Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device Act (GovTrack.us)
Currently in committee in the House.

S. 32: Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device Act (GovTrack.us)
All in committee in the Senate.

Will likely die there. Pence is on the House sub-committee. Drop him a note.

Nobody should over react. And nobody should start buying and hoarding "assault" mags.





Because that's what I plan to do, and I want to make sure I get them all

If I hit someone over the head with an object, that is called an assault. Calling a rifle an "assault rifle" is just ridiculous.

Ballistically it has been proven that an average centerfire hunting rifle will do far more damage to tissue than an AK or AR. Yeah I know, get over it. A 30-06 is one nasty mofo but if someone is shot by a "hunting rifle" and their heart is splattered out the back of their body, we of course could never call that an "assault rifle". Tell the dead guy it wasn't an assault. Please......

A car could take out a group of kids at a bus stop or pedestrians along a busy sidewalk and we of course would never call that an "assault vehicle", unless it was a Humvee.

I couldn't even stomach reading thru the threads to find the ******* politician who is suggesting this. He/she/it is an "assault" on my intelligence and yours too. It smells like a desperation for votes.

And whoever voted YES that such a bill would be passed is either just being antagonistic or needs a kick in the shin. NO, NO, NO and NO !

HELL NO !

Too late!!!
I've got my share already.
And maybe some of your share too.

 

[rgarner74]

It will never go. For years they have tried banning all kinds of things and not much ever happens..

 

[littletommy]

Hahaha..... and my wife said I was crazy for buying UPS truck loads of mags.

Im so tired of people calling some type of rifles "assault" rifles.That's just trying to make the gun itself look bad."Assault" is a BEHAVIOR, and a gun is a tool.
A tool has no built-in behavior.It's not made for evil just like it's not made for good.
There is no such thing as a "assault" rifle just like there is no "defensive" pistol.A tool is a tool and that's the behavior of the person using that tool that will dictate what's the gun will become, either a weapon to attack someone or to defend someone.
Just like you can use a "defensive pepper spray" to attack and rape someone, you can use an "assault" weapon to protect yourself and save your family from an attack.
Of course "assault something" is always used about guns.You never hear of someone using an assault hammer to kill his victim.
But for those black evil assault gun it must be different, they are made to attack people and anyone holding one will end up killing everybody right?

If you want to help the 2A and pro gun people, stop using the words the anti 2A people use.
Just like I never call a "high capacity magazine" the magazine that comes with my Glocks.
If it has 10 rounds then it's a low capacity magazine for non-free states.
If it has let's say 17 rounds (for a Glock 17) then it's a STANDARD capacity magazine, it's what comes with the gun, the gun was designed for that magazine so it's "standard" or "regular".
The 33 rounds magazine for the Glocks in 9mm is also STANDARD magazine (standard for the Glock 18) so it's not a "high capacity magazine".
I have no idea what's a "high capacity magazine", I never seen one, I do not own one.
I only have seen STANDARD capacity or LOW capacity magazines.

Stop using the BS vocabulary anti gun people and media want us to use and we may save our gun rights.

Sorry rant is over.

I swear we all had this exact same conversation six months ago.

WEll, the last time I recall us talking about this was when Rep. Whatsername-wife-of-the-Astronaut got shot by that nutcase in AZ. That was the last big impetus for "magazine control" and it fell flat, even among the Dems. Except at the non-elected-federal-bureaucrat level of government, "Gun Control" isn't much in vogue these days.
