Bill H.2095 An Act to close the large capacity magazine loophole

[Varmint]

This is one of those infringements that shows either a fundamental misunderstanding of possible self defense scenarios or malicious ignorance on behalf of our legislators.

This isn't the movies and people miss. Especially while under duress from multiple attackers. 10 rounds is not enough. Any crime committed with a 15 round magazine can surely be committed with a 10 round magazine or even a revolver. This law does absolutely nothing to prevent crime or mass shootings. It does, however, put law abiding citizens at a disadvantage when defending themselves and their families.

Dude, 10 is just a pit stop on the way to zero. Don't waste your time thinking about this crap.

Yes, but someday someone may actually stumble upon our little corner of the internet and read something that makes sense to them. Especially if they google the bill. Meh.

I’m still stuck on “military or naval forces”

LMA0. Me too. I thought the Navy was military. Who new.

 

[Len-2A Training]

It was Bill Ruger (Sr) who testified to Congress that nobody needed more than 10 rd mags. That is the genesis of the 10 rd mag legislation. Bill Ruger is long dead and buried and his Sons running the business don't have the same philosophy (really nicely built 25 rd mags for the 10/22 come to mind).

Same here. But the US Coast Guard could have a problem here.

You are so right, all this shit, every bit of it, is just another step, not an end unto itself.

 

[Jason Flare]

Same here. But the US Coast Guard could have a problem here.

Am I OK?

I think I might be a member of the MA Militia.

 

[allen-1]

You wish.

 

[BREWINZ]

You wish.

I do. It's just that. A wish. No delusions.

 

[M60]

No no. When storms are great enough, to bring Navy vessels into port, for the duration of a storm, The Coast Guard heads out to sea to save lives. Those Coasties aren't afraid of anything. I have much respect for the Coast Guard.

Or just leaving the poor farm animals alone for once, for starters....

We need a bill to protect farm animals from these sorts of sexual predators! We need to outlaw bestiality for the kids!

 

[shootymacshootface]

I honestly don't know how I could be any more felonious.

 

[Dennis in MA]

Yeah. Because I can’t go to almost any state bordering MA and buy a standard-cap mag.

I wish someone had some common sense to point this out to the sheeple.

 

[CatSnoutSoup]

Outlawing the use of your personal property as it was designed to function is the equivalent of an unconstitutional "taking" in my book.

Bring on the lawsuits we can race California to SCOTUS even though they have a head start.

Google's going to direct them to CNN or some other anti website.

You'd be surprised. How do you think I found this site?

My wife uses 10 round Ruger factory mags in her Mini 14, loaded with M193 ball. I would not want to be the home invader who faces that!

 

[76Too]

Those guys in the Air force are screwed.

Was there a provision for high capacity keyboards or coffee mugs? I didn’t see it if there was...Chair Force should be business as usual.

 

[oldguy68]

10 take away the 1 and you have 0!
That is what they seek!

 

[Mountain]

Uhhh high cap mags? What high cap mags?

He must be talking about these...

 

[citoriguy]

It's a linsky bill, "benign appearance" is meaningless, Unless he has a bunch of backers (possible? he usually has none) this probably isn't going anywhere. He mostly does this crap for virtue signaling. Bills do not have a sort of gravitational inertia. Linsky has filed similar crap.in the past (literally a half dozen piles of shit every session) and they keep getting shot down. Someone once opined he was likely doing this as posturing for an upper tier hack job...

I wouldn't be so sure. In light of Gilroy, El Paso, and Dayton, combined with the fact that Ole Mitch has already forgotten about them, I believe more state and local jurisdictions will try to tamp down public "fear."

I just don't understand why the hoi polloi can't understand that these laws are punishing law-abiding gun owners. If I could go to a nearby state and pick up a 30-round mag (or several), then what do you think criminals would do if this takes effect? Stop being criminals and decide to carry steak knives around when they want to rob someone or invade your home?

Linsky needs to give it up. With each passing bill he puts forth, he gets more and more unhinged. Natick needs to vote him out, but a relatively affluent blue suburb isn't going to do that.

I think he means belly buttons..........

Yeah, but there still puddle pirates, lol!

 

[foy1der]

What if they identify as farm animals?

 

[M60]

Yeah, but there still puddle pirates, lol!

Yeah, But that salt water puddle is pretty big. If we're not careful, someone's going to call us sea going bell hops. That's what my dad always called me.

 

[SgtHal75]

Just remember we will ALWAYS be the Men’s Department!!! Lol!!!!!

 

[M60]

Just remember we will ALWAYS be the Men’s Department!!! Lol!!!!!

Lol. That's what I told my dad one Thanksgiving when he told me that the Corps was a department of the Navy. Dad's been gone for a good while now, but I'm sure that he's still pissed about that one.

Bill H.2095 An Act to close the large capacity magazine loophole

You know what comes after this don't you...?

Bill H.20XX An Act to close the low capacity magazine loophole...

Thats great, until there's four or five home invaders and you miss a couple of shots or they hit an obstruction and are ineffective.
If one is going to err, at least err in your favor. Find some 30rd mags. As Clint Smith of Thunder Ranch says, "nobody in a gunfight ever complained about having too much ammo".

 

[Sniper (+)]

Ok, as long as this bill is passed first.
