I really don't understand why everyone is all up in arms about this... first off- unless the mags have a manufacture date on them showing after 7/13 there is no way to prove you did/didn't own them before or after the date; second- I highly doubt police are going to go out of their way (when many are already busy enough with the day to day stuff) to inspect your magazines; third- the burden of proof is with the prosecution, remember that innocent until proven guilty? That still stands... so far.

Im no lawyer, but, maybe this is legit way to do this:
Before the ban, have the "moving to colorado" ship a box of mags, to your house, with their own name on it. Ie, Bob is moving to Colorado, he ships a box to Joe, but with Bob's name on it. UPS has zero issue with doing this.
In this case, Joe does not open the box, never taking possession of the contents. Joe arrives, and opens box. ags were in Colorado before the ban, and No one else has had possession besides Joe.
Thinking farther, you could do something similar with a airport style locker, or bank safety deposit box. Mail mags, Bob puts in locker, mails Joe the key, and Joe opens locker after arriving in Colorado.
Owning or not owning prior to the ban is not my concern here. My question was that the way the bill is currently written makes ANY magazine, rifle or pistol, illegal if it has a floor plate. Reason being, the floor plate can be removed, spring swapped out and now a 15 round magazine can hold 17. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not dwelling on this, I'm just curious if that is what the wording does in fact mean, and if so, were in some deep shit. It would basically outlaw just about every magazine out there.

You'd likely also render your modified mag to be totally unreliable.
I have a common S&W 9mm pistol that has standard mags that are 16 rounds. I'm treating this like the Clinton ban. Stock up on those mags that you won't be able to purchase in the future. A semi-auto without reliable mags is pretty much useless.
I've been known to buy standard capacity magazines for pistols I might like to own sometime in the future.
