Proposed US Federal ban of greater than 10 round mags

It is crazy, that what I was doing for last 7yrs would be a felony, a crime by a mere "Yeah".

Another traitorous amoral politician (but I repeat myself) from one of the lost states trolling for donors by calling attention to himself by proposing unconstitutional legislation that has no hope of passage.

Excaliber has it right. These people completely understand that they have no hope of passage - particularly with unified republican control of both houses of Congress. All they are doing is "keeping the issue alive". Their biggest fear is that it would become a politically irrelevant football by dying a slow death into obscurity. By filing these bills, they keep this (non)issue before the public against the day when the t̶r̶a̶i̶t̶o̶r̶s̶, er....r̶e̶t̶a̶r̶d̶s̶, er.... lib/progs are in charge again....... and they will be again some day, because the American voter has the attention span of a gnat, and the IQ of a turnip. So all they are doing is making sure that these short-attention-span voters don't forget that there is (allegedly) an issue of magazine capacity that must be addressed before we are all killed in one giant fiery explosion with a Metallica soundtrack playing in the background.

....Because the Lord knows that Magazine Capacity is a far more pressing issue than ISIS, Obamacare, Immigration, the stagnant economy for anyone who isn't a Wall Street trader, and the collapse of the republic in the face of a grasping and burgeoning administrative state.

They're trying to keep their elitist, big-government "street cred" up. Also, it allows them to pontificate on the subject and make outrageous claims and thus seem like they are "doing something". They know its going nowhere.

I see it as an expression of how relentless and determined they are to take away our rights and freedom and assert their control rather than a practical political act.

It's nothing but silliness. There are so many "high capacity" magazines already in circulation. It's not like they are going away anything soon. I think I have enough Glock and 5.56 mags to last the rest of my days.

I don’t have a rifle but if they ban 30 round mags I will buy one. Not the rifle just the mag.

Well I have had two stripped lowers for about 3 years now. I swear one day I will get a roundtoit and build them but in the mean time I have stocked up on pmags. I even got really mad and went out and bought a 100 round beta C mag just because I can!
