Re: Carolyn McCarthy readies gun control bill

McCarthy is going for broke this time.

Rep. Carolyn McCarthy’s (D-N.Y.) bill also goes further than than the assault weapon ban that expired in 2004, outlawing the sale or transfer of clips that hold more than ten rounds, even those obtained before the law takes effect, according to a copy of the bill obtained by POLITICO.

The bill closes a loophole in the expired assault weapon ban that let gun owners buy high-capacity magazines made before the ban took effect in 1994.

The bill carries a penalty of up to 10 years in prison.
Might want to think twice about stocking up on high-cap mags as a business investment this time. If you don't them for your own guns, you'll own a lot of non-transferable gun parts.

Under this bill, I wonder who takes possession of all your high-cap mags when you die? Probably the same people who take your money when you die - the gubmint.

Re: Carolyn McCarthy readies gun control bill

Methinks more intensive mental health screening and more disqualifying factors on ATF 4473 form is the most likely outcome of all this. Most of the non gun folks I've talked to continue the refrain "guns should be more difficult to buy" - only a few have mentioned high cap mags etc., though they are out there.

In my opinion...this would only serve to further erode our 1st amendment rights by lending credence to the idea that either party did anything wrong.

The kind of hyper-sensitivity displayed over what was clearly meant (by BOTH parties) to be a FIGURATIVE symbol is just crazy. There was nothing onerous about either the bulls-eyes or cross-hairs, they are simply widely recognized symbols used to call attention to "targeted" concerns.

How anyone could spin this into meaning it was a HIT LIST is beyond me..... and tells me we have in Washington...a certain number of people, despicable in their nature.

When will the voting public learn? Elections have consequences! :roll:
Political Correctness (PC) is largely dependant upon whose bull is being gored.
Good points, both of you .... :tiphat:
