The tentative agreement would further restrict New York's ban on assault weapons and limit the size of magazines to seven bullets, rather than the current 10. Other elements, pushed by Republicans, would refine a mental health law that allows for civil confinement of people determined to be a threat to others.

Test balloon.

Holy Christ this is getting to the point where some people might wake up and see what's going on. Like the hunting community.

 

[Yme]

oh boy

I work with a guy from New York. He still has a house there. We both thought I was joking when I said magazines would be limited to 5 rounds. Sadly it seems I wasn't that far off.

I guess it's single stack .45s for everyone.

I wish these people would just be honest and say, "We want to reduce the maximum capacity of magazines from 10 to 7, not because it will make people safer, but because it will inconvenience gun owners and manufacturers,"

One of the things that worries me most is that I can see both Cuomo and Owe'Malley is a competition for the best "record on gun control". Both have 2016 WH aspirations.

I would not put one-upmanship above MD's dear leader. Actually, hearing his proposals on outright AWB and fingerprinting, etc. I think he may already be there.

7 round limit but everyone can carry their ruger lcp or equivalent? Compromise? sure....

I'd actually be ok with some limitations if I could carry in MD without a draconian G+S.

I didn't see it in the article- Are they saying it has left committee or they have a working draft or what?

I think you raise a great point about one-upmanship. What else is the motivator for the laws they are drafting at this point? It's obviously not about using facts and empirical data to come up with a solution that has any chance of affecting what they are hoping to.

This is what I believe is happening. At some point they will decide who is top and who is bottom and then layout their plans for national office.
Right now they're jockeying for position relative to each other and waiting to see what Hillary Clinton is up to.

The way the debt keeps going up, there is going to be much bigger issues going down the road. Sad thing is we throw the British out over a 3% tax increase to bail out a company. We already went over the cliff, i'm just waiting to hit bottom, and by then we will be under armed to protect our selfs, cause it looks like Chinas bank is starting to have issues.

It's a long way down..... the bigger they are and all that

So 3 bullets huh?? What is that going to solve?? How did they come up with that number??

Two magazine possession limit with you having to turn in your old mags.

Think it can't happen elsewhere? Think again.

 

[Mooseman]

This is going to get ugly.

Yes... those are significantly less dangerous!!



Now Sucky Chucky Schumer is "encouraging" WalMart and other retailers to "voluntarily" do something about firearm and ammunition sales.

my single stack .45 holds 8+1.

Nothing. At all. Ask the woman in GA who shot an intruder 5x. He still got up and ran away.

Hypothetically, with 3 bullets and two perps, she may have been dead. And her kids.

Facts and common sense appear to be getting us nowhere. This is about political posturing. Defending 2A is becoming less of a choice and more of a responsibility.

No sh*t. Especially when you have two of them.
