Probably Wednesday.

It would probably work as well as marijuana prohibition. Entire states are ignoring federal drug laws, telling the federal government to mind their own business and the feds doing just that. We could do the same with gun laws.Millions, and I do mean MILLIONS of Americans own standard capacity magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
How many bump stocks are out there? How many have been turned in? Look it up.
Let's see how turning millions of Americans into instant felons works out for the government.
Think back to the 94 Crime Bill. Ones that you already owned were grandfathered, but all new ones had to have a serial and couldn't be owned
Now, today, price will only go up if you find any.
Michigan called for Biden + PSA "Daily Deal" PSA 36" single gun case/7 D&H 5.56 mags for $120....yeah, I went ahead and took advantage.
This is untrue.
There were no serial numbers applied.
Magazines made after September 1994 could be owned by law enforcement and military. I purchased a sizeable number of them.

I was right. Here's the text out of the 1994 Crime Bill:

I got mine today and I was about to be really disappointed because they weren't seating into my PSA AR. I then remembered someone said on another thread about these that they had to unload them 1-2 rounds. I Loaded them all to 29 rounds and tested all 12. They seated correctly at 29 rounds. I'm still happy about the purchase for 29 round magazines.
No, you are not right. Magazines did not have serial numbers on them. I don't care what the statute says. Some did have dates on them.
