New Mexico House Bill 50 Limits Magazines To 9 Rounds

[press1280]

I read somewhere it's introduced by the same person year after year, evidently whatever was last year didn't even get past committee and was also really watered down compared to whatever this trash is

It's from an Albuquerque rep. Yea the bill is draconian as it gets, no grandfather clause,exc. Looks like there's no exception for even just transporting it through the state other than for a shooting competition (FOPA would override if a traveler had it in their trunk while just passing through the state I assume).
This may be just an incredibly far left rep's wet dream which won't pass. 9 rounds is clearly an attempt at a near-total semi-auto ban.

That's practically what I asked.

Seems they only want single stack mags, and revolvers.

I think they want to keep people from being able to use their guns. The amount of 9 round mags is negligible compared to 10 or more mags.

They watched the Taco restaurant shooting video in Texas and felt that obviously 9 was the right number...


.

Obviously!

M1 Garand "Clips" only hold 8 so they are still good.

The NM lawmakers somehow found out the secret that the cartridge at the bottom of a 10 round magazine is the super extra "killy" one. Which one of you told them?

Any mag capacity limit is bad enough, but 9 rounds? There are a gazillion 10 round mags in production right now, but 9?

Happy accidents.

must be a 20mm gun

Nah, my buddy's Lahti holds ten.

 

[calicojack]

No. Which means the bill is probably intended as a backdoor way to ban semiautos without actually banning semiautos.

A 10 round mag can be permanently modified to hold 9 rounds I would think.

Who needs the US Constitution anymore if we don't have 2A? Yuppie women and sissy men are here today because of the sacrifices the founding fathers of this country made. These people will keep pushing until they see the USA turning into Cuba, Venezuela, or South Africa. Then they will lose everything that they think they deserve. They think that their luxury SUV, their big fancy house, and their comfortable lifestyle will be around forever while they espouse libtard policies.

The Venezuelan "socialist" leaders are as corrupt and venal as any socialist leaders in history. They grift plenty from their rackets, buy expensive personal things and have no shame in publicly displaying their swag. (There is a funny website just on the bling watches these crooks wear in public, photos and all, with the market prices, all in a paradise where oil is pumped from the ground and average people can't buy food and die for lack of medicines.)

Maybe they are hoping to be a test case like New York? SCOTUS always picks the most ridiculous one to hear first.

They're actually going to hear it in committee. I still don't see it going far, but if they do I think it'll be an easy one for the courts to knock down.

Gotta make sure those Ruger Mk23s and 10/22s can't be used.....for the children.

New Mexico is starting to be just as bad as old Mexico
