There are those on my side of the debate who are doing just what you say, secretly planning an incremental reduction of gun rights until none remain for civilians. I don't think they are in the majority, though.

Many won't be aware of this new magic number. Some will refuse to comply. But anyone caught with a standard magazine will be called a criminal by the benighted government of New York. That way, the person can be thoroughly disarmed--the goal of gun control freaks.Greg Camphttp://gregorycamp.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-11522508371153397672013-01-10T16:54:44.554+01:002013-01-10T16:54:44.554+01:00Mike,
Thank you for acknowledging that about the ...Mike,<br /><br />Thank you for acknowledging that about the magazine size limit. Your admission there shows more integrity than many people I've debated on this issue--If I were wearing my hat right now, it would be tipped.<br /><br />I hadn't heard about the reduction to 7, but I had heard about the "loophole" the article refers to closing. This isn't a loophole, but is an intentional feature of the previous ban that said that pre-ban magazines would be grandfathered. The argument Cuomo has made is that magazines don't have serial numbers, so there is no way to track them and when they are made.<br /><br />The thing is, this isn't totally true. I have three 12 round magazines for my .45. One predates the '94 ban and has a plain body. The other two have text stamped into them saying 9-94 Restricted Law Enforcement & Military Use Only... They're legal here since the AWB has expired, but would be illegal in NY, MA, CT, CA, etc. Many, if not all, manufacturers have continued putting these or similar stamps on magazines because of these states and their bans, so while you can't show the exact date of the magazine's manufacture, you can typically tell if it was made before these bans.<br /><br />To close this "loophole," the plan is to have a mandatory, uncompensated turn in of all of these magazines. This deprivation of property would be bad enough if it was just for the 12, 13, and 15 round magazines that were grandfathered, but this new info makes it far worse since the standard capacity of most handguns is over 7 rounds, so most people have 8-10 round magazines that are either standard capacity for the gun, or a reduced capacity one manufactured specifically for the current ban.<br /><br />This means that all of these people will be deprived of their magazines and will have an unusable gun (or a single shot if they're lucky enough to have a model that will fire without a magazine in it) until the manufacturers can design even more reduced capacity magazines, manufacture them, and ship them to stores in NY.<br /><br />Moreover, there will be many people who will have to turn in pistols because every target shooting .22 revolver I've ever seen was designed with a 9 shot cylinder.<br /><br />This is a remarkably bad law. I disliked what I knew of it, but with this added to it, this is worthy of utilizing some molasses and feathers.Tennesseeannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6314891743204395487.post-68860302134890534782013-01-10T11:01:05.871+01:002013-01-10T11:01:05.871+01:00Thank the gods I don't live in New York.
