It should come as no surprise that the House Judiciary Committee passed a magazine ban. It passed by a party line vote. That means it will likely pass the House when it goes to a full vote. It may meet resistance in the Senate where the Republicans hold a narrow majority. Instead of panic buying (existing mags are grandfathered) get politically active and start contacting your Reps. Remind them how this ended for them in 1994 when those who voted for the AWB found themselves jobless after the next election. IF THIS IS YOUR FAVOURIT FORUM TOO! Post your opinion below PLS. Your gun friends in here like to know!

I don't like it either way, but I wish they started high capacity at you know high capacity 30 rounds is standard capacity in most MSRs. I could see the line being drawn at over 30 if we have to draw one in the first place.

Stop scaring people. We need to make sure everyone understands that if we don’t win their election what will be happening

House Democrats were just itching for Congress to get back in session after the August break and no one was itching more than Judiciary Committee chairman Jerrold Nadler of New York. After last months shootings, he wanted nothing more than to ram through the gun control bills that were before his committee. Last night, the Judiciary committee approved a high capacity magazine ban on a party line vote. The bill will now go to the full House for likely passage.
Kentucky’s Representative Thomas Massie predicts that if the bill passes the House, it will accomplish one thing . . .
Alan Gottlieb of the Second Amendment Foundation and CCRKBA wrote a great piece about this yesterday. The anti-gun Left just doesn’t get it: The more they act to restrict the right to keep and bear arms, the more guns and related accessories people will buy. Like magazines.
From right here at TTAG:
“So far,” CCRRKBA Chairman Alan Gottlieb observed, “all Democrats have accomplished with their gun prohibition agenda is increase gun sales by 15 percent over the last month. This happens every time they introduce or pass new restrictions. They just don’t get it.”
Gottlieb points out the obvious. Barack Obama was greatest gun salesman in history, keeping sales at record levels through most years in his term.
The media (otherwise known as anti-gun activists with bylines) have, time and time again, claimed that those gun sales went to a declining number of existing gun owners
Like in the Washington Post: “The average gun owner now owns 8 guns — double what it used to be.”
Another wishful thinking story from the Amazon Washington Post: “American gun ownership drops to lowest in nearly 40 years”
Or this one from Al-Jazeera: “Analysis: More guns but fewer gun owners?” Al-Jazeera’s story has the subhead, “Firearm sales have spiked since Obama proposed new rules, but there is a smaller share of households with guns.”
Right-o.
Meanwhile, here in the real world, hard evidence shows the opposite is true.
In Illinois we had about 1.1 million Firearm Owner Identification Card holders when President Obama took office. Eight years later, that number had doubled to almost 2.3 million.
And people don’t go to the trouble to get an Illinois FOID card just for fun. It costs a few bucks, requires the completion of forms, a photograph, and the time and trouble to put all that together in just the proper format to make the Illinois State Police staff happy. If you don’t do everything perfectly, the Land of Lincoln bureaucracy rejects your application and keeps your money. Democrats vote to ban ‘high cap’ magazines
The Democrats’ bill would grandfather existing so-called “high capacity” magazines over the arbitrary limit of ten rounds.
Here’s the question: Do you have plenty of extra magazines for your handguns and rifles? If not, you may want to visit your local gun store or favorite retailer to place an order while supplies last. Because with the activity at the federal level, we stand at the precipice of another run on magazines.
Those who aren’t old enough to remember 1994, trust me. You don’t want to experience it if you can avoid it.
And after ordering those magazines, you may also want to write your state’s US Senators to urge his or her opposition to this measure.
