You have link fail.
I think that's a re-hash of the Lautenberg bill.

Check here, is this the same?

That link doesn't seem to work for me on mobile, and I'm not finding that wording in the bills posted online, what's the bill number so I can find it
 
You beat me to it. I just logged on to post the same info. I didn't think the Democrats would react so quickly, but they're trying to squeeze a high-cap magazine ban into the Cybersecurity bill...so get educated before you vote. And stock up on your high-cap mags now ladies and gentlemen. The gun war is approaching...
 
yeah, but I've been reassured by people on a couple of sites that the libs and dems aren't after my guns. I'm torn as to what I should believe.
 
So you are going to take someone elses word with regards to your rights....did you even read the proposed amendment?

I highly doubt this will pass, but either way I just bought myself a few more 20 and 30 rounders. Turns out they don't have a shelf life. :)
 
Welp, two wrongs made a right:

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/07/31/frank-lautenberg-gun-control_n_1725467.html?utm_hp_ref=elections-2012

tl;dr Lautenberg stuck the mag ban onto the Cybersecurity Act of 2012 and refused to remove it. The Cybersecurity Act then failed to go to a vote. IDK if the mag ban contributed to that, but it couldn't have hurt!
 
while politicians are adding magazine restriction laws on other bills, they should tack on a banning of orange hair dye as well. Nobody needs to dye their hair orange. Well perhaps some insane people feel they need too. You guys see anyone in the future with orange hair, shoot 'em. You might be preventing a massacre.
 
seriously these magazine bans are stupid. there are sooooooooo many magazines larger then a 10 round capacity out there especially if you consider mil-surplus that would be preban this bill would do nothing to even restrict magazines that carry more than 10 rnds

Yeah, but being stupid never stopped liberals, they're actually encouraged to act this way. The changes that California is proposing to add the restriction of easily detachable magazines to the the semi-auto bill, if passed, you don't even have to be notified about the bill change, if you are caught in possession of such a weapon, right after your weapon(s) is confiscated, you will be escorted to jail. So don't say it can't happen here.

I don't see the issue of going to jail in this article, but I did read it in some other article, if I'm wrong, someone please say so.
 
seriously do they really think that reducing magazine capacity will help stop active shooter scenarios? This video proves that if someone intended to do harm and takes sometime to practice realoading this law would at best be a minute inconvience to them! The law also seems to believe that for some reason the shooter that doesnt mind mowing people down will even slightly care about magazine restriction laws. Since they would be gettinga life sentence or death penalty which leaves me wondering why they should even care about the extra years. Or the shooter could just buy the plethora of 30 round mags available for most assault rifles that would be legally on preban status anyway! . its pretty much a moot point....
Its funny to me how we always elect people to make laws for us that have no experience in the area they are voting on and have no reason to care about it either. reduction in their magazine capacity dont really affect them as they have their own private security that in many cases is paid for by our tax dollars. The really dont even need a gun when they have four or more state troopers as private security.

I think our government is too proud to admit that their idea of gun control doesnt work. They are far more worried about saving face by not admitting their original plan of gun control just doesnt work then trying to find one that does work to deter crime. Why can't they just admit there might be a reason that police stations and gun stores do not getting robbed.

 
I think I need to stay out of this chat. It just makes me really angry! <sarcasm font>If only the founder fathers had guaranteed gun rights in the bill of rights!
grrr
