I see that as any magazine that readily, by manufacturer, accepts 15 rounds (IE: Your standard Glock 22 .40S&W Magazine that comes standard holding 15 rounds STOCK)... it wasn't "designed" to be "converted" to accept any more, but that option is available via an extender. It was "designed" to hold 15 rounds, no more... if it had been designed to be converted, they wouldn't have put the small holes in the back of the magazine that show the round count. JMHO...

I agree it's hard to know for sure. The language demonstrates the ignorance of the authors. It really comes down to whether or not "designed to be converted" means "has a removable baseplate."

See again, that's awful presumptuous on behalf of the CO Dems... Just because the baseplate is removable doesn't mean it was designed to be converted. What about maintenance and cleaning? Really hard to replace a magazine spring unless the baseplate is removable. You have to look at this objectively. I know it can be enforced "This has a baseplate, therefore is was designed to be converted to hold extra rounds." Not exactly, it was designed to be disassembled, that's all that means.

That's.... Doing nothing but hurting the small-business firearms company. That sucks.

I would think that if I am in court accused of having a mag "THAT IS DESIGNED TO BE READILY CONVERTED TO ACCEPT, MORE THAN FIFTEEN ROUNDS OF AMMUNITION" and it has not been converted, just not that concerned. Think about all the people concerned with having a Glock 19 mag that holds 15 rounds. I do not believe just because you can convert it, does not mean "readily". I would be happy to hand the juror of there choice a Glock 19 mag and a plus two base plate and tell them to have at it. I would think most any juror with that task, probably looks a lot like a monkey f#<king a football. Hope they brought at least one tool.
