Wrong, actually it can and it has. Certain firearms were designed to function with specificly designed magazines (30 round). When the Clinton AWB outlawed 30 rnd magazines and 20rnd magazines were used in this particular platform of firearm they began to consistently experience malfunctions due to alteration of the OEM design of the magazines.

You are absolutely right. But one of these days guns rights folks may lose the war because public opinion turns against them.

This is a good common sense bill. It may be against some of your personal principles....but common sense seems to be thrown out the window when personal principles are involved. You conservatives seem to really like polls...where are the polls in this thread?

The Second Amendment has nothing whatsoever to do with hunting.

Of course. I would never dream of polluting the liberal utopia that is NJ. It's kind of funny that I conveniently stopped being anti-gun (well, more ambivalent actually) the moment I left the state and moved down to the good ol' Carolinas.

Fortunately you aren't the one who gets to decide who is a conservative.

Here's the way I see it:

McCarthy is trying to pass legislation on the heels of the Gibbons tragedy in Arizona because she feels like she has some anti-gun, anti-conservative momentum from it. The text of the bill essentially makes owning or possessing a magazine for any platform that holds more than ten rounds illegal. We have been covered by a 10 round limit law in the past and it had absolutely zero positive impact on any statistic or any real-life, practical situation. I would actually love to ask McCarthy why she thinks this is a good idea and if she believes that this would have prevented any crime in the last 100 years. I would be stunned if I received an answer that was not arrogant, ignorant or both.

Do you know how many rounds the Virginia Tech shooter's magazines held?

Someone please tell me why this bill makes one iota of sense...

Looks like you're in the minority, sweetheart. Nothing wrong with being a NJ moderate Republican though, I guess. Just stay up there and keep your laws local to NJ.

With all due respect: BULL FEATHERS!

You are not really pro-2A rights if your posts in this thread accurately portray your mindset. You appear to be pro gun control with significant bans and regulation not only acceptable but encouraged.

There is no common sense whatsoever involved in this bill. Nice job at tossing in a couple of the favorite buzzwords of the anti-gun crowd though.

Don't hold your breath at them being any more well received here than they were in your thread.
