On the AR front. if you get 10 round mags with a removable base plate adding a 10 round extension and using a 20 round follower and spring is pretty easy.

Those Bloomberg guys are either brilliant or complete idiots when it comes to guns.
In the past they have made ten round mags that couldn't be easily converted to hold more. There were pistol mags that had a cross wise crimp in the body that prevented more than ten round functioning in the mag. Another pistol mag had length wise ribs that made a normally double stack mag a single stack mag. I have a Colt made AR15 mag that the body is so short that you can't get more than ten rounds in it. It has a goofy floorplate that can't be easily removed. There are some handgun mags that have non-removable floorplates. You can still disassemble them from the top.

I am sure that the manufacturers are already looking at ways of complying.

When the '94 ban made new ten round mags illegal in handguns it started the compact pistol craze. Why carry a full size handgun if you couldn't have more than ten rounds in the mag? That is why a lot of the compact pistols came out. It wouldn't surprise me if Glock is looking at a new skinny, more compact version Glock 19 based on a ten round single stack mag with a fixed floorplate.

If they outlaw guns with removable mags people will just start carrying two guns. "That's alright. I have two guns. One for each of ya!"

I am in total agreement on blomberg being a complete idiot.

The 'new' law sucks but we all know it isn't going to stop anything. Where there is a will, there is a way.
