I hope this does not pass as written. 7 round max? If it does pass, time to start making extra thick magazine plugs or "thicker" followers for a drop in solution. And then next step, start tolling New York Criagslist for magazines for sale.

Wow. Such a sad sad path we are heading down. The crazy states are in a race to see who can out do each other.

I am starting to truly believe our time as one country is coming to an end. There is just too large of a difference between the desires of the opposing sides.

Found it. Rather difficult to find. Rammed through legislation late last night without public knowledge and input.

APPENDIX A TO 18 U.S.C. 922 wasn't attached, but it's more or less readily available from 1994 federal legislation.

Here's the typical list of allowed exceptions.

APPENDIX A TO 18 U.S.C. 922 was repealed in 2000, so not sure if it's a valid law to be quoting in a state law.

edit: imo, there appears to be flaws with the magazine capacity of 5 vs 7 vs 10 vs more than.

It will probably be amended to correct.

edit: I also see that a previous bill introduced but not yet passed in Massachusetts is very similar to this one.

I think the scariest of all the legislation is this Psych eval stuff. This will allow the government to pick and choose who they feel can own a gun. Talk out of line, sorry no gun your Unstable or some other non-sense. Do anything they don't like and your all of a sudden prohibited on mental health grounds.

We are on a scary road right now.

I've been saying all along that's the most nefarious part of the law. Not only does it (even if unintentionally) set up a climate where people are reported for potential danger falsely, but it almost guarantees that people who need help will not self-report or submit to psych evaluations that desperately need help. Great way to make the stigma of mental health issues worse, frankly.

Plus, a therapist or counselor might be more inclined to report you for being harmful to cover their ass from potential lawsuits or problems.

What clinical and legal criteria determines "dangerous", by the way? Feelings? Words? A hunch?

This is scary shit, for everyone involved.

Consider that in conjuction with Obama care. Land of the Free ain't so free anymore and getting more pent up with ever passing day.

Add Missouri to the list. They aren't having any part of federal intrusions in state affairs.

New state legislation for Missouri will include penalties for interference.

and actually found a news article from Philadelphia that actually makes a lot of sense about gun control. It's control of violence we're supposed to be after.

From philly.com:

Gun rights aren't the issue
