My question, as basically stated in the subject line, is does the proposal amount to a Fifth Amendment Constitutional taking?
It's not at all uncommon that many gun owners have hundreds, if not thousands (especially under recent market prices) of dollars in magazines that will become illegal when and if this law passes.
Also, beyond inconvenience and practicality of use, some guns themselves will become immediately unusable. For instance, the S&W 4006 TSW semi-auto, of which there are many thousands out there. Nobody will be making 7 round mags for that gun. How many people will be left with collections of entirely unusable, valueless guns as a result of this law. Does that not amount to a taking?
Any input from learned counsel and others with thoughts on the matter would be appreciated.
As always, thanks.
Steve
