Description
Prohibition of sale, transfer, etc., of certain firearms magazines and firearms; penalties. Prohibits any person from importing, selling, bartering, or transferring a firearms magazine designed to hold more than 10 rounds of ammunition. A violation is a Class 1 misdemeanor. The bill prohibits a person from carrying a shotgun with a magazine that will hold more than seven rounds of the longest ammunition for which it is chambered in a public place; under existing law, this prohibition applies only in certain localities and also to assault firearms. The bill redefines "assault firearm" by reducing the number of rounds of ammunition that a firearms magazine will hold in order to be defined as an "assault firearm" from more than 20 to more than 10 and prohibits any person from knowingly and intentionally possessing or transporting any assault firearm or from knowingly and intentionally carrying about his person, hidden from common observation, an assault firearm. The bill prohibits a dealer from selling, renting, trading, or transferring from his inventory such an assault firearm to any person. Read the Bill »

Comments
Why is it that some politicians and anti-gun people think that restricting alas bidding citizens gun rights will do anything to reduce gun deaths. Do you morons really thing the criminal is going to give a damn about a law the restricts magazines to 10 rounds? The fact that they think killing is okay but you think ten round limits will matter. This is another crazy political move by Dems like restricting immigration is for the GOP.
