Colorado Magazine ban - bill introduction this week

[Kraven251]

I suspect explaining the incident at VT to them really won't help matters.

"It will force them to stop shooting to change the 'clip' " "It would give people a chance to get away or intervene" All things we are going to hear, all things that they don't realize won't change the outcome.

...in the Aurora incident, more mag changes would have favored the shooter.

This isn't a Colorado magazine ban being proposed, it's a national ban. I don't think the national ban will happen. You had me worried for a second.

I don't doubt that they'll try to ban high cap magazines in Colorado. As long as I have the metric shit ton of 30rd mags I ordered delivered first.......

KUSA - U.S. Congresswoman Diana DeGette has introduced a bill to ban high-capacity magazines, even as State Representative Rhonda Fields has introduced similar legislation at the state level.

High-capacity magazines contain more than 10 rounds of ammunition and were used during the Aurora theater shooting and at Sandy Hook Elementary.

"We have got to address the extraordinary gun violence that threatens our society," DeGette said on Sunday during a press conference about gun control.

"We can never stop an imbalanced young man from going into an elementary school with a gun. But we sure as heck can stop him from having these 30-round magazines that can shoot a whole classroom full of first graders in just a matter of a couple of minutes," she added.
Fields announced Sunday that she is proposing similar state legislation.
"I wasn't able to save my son, because he was murdered. He was ambushed alongside his fiance, and I'm here to say enough is enough," Fields said.

Their goals were echoed by about a half dozen protestors outside the Tanner Gun Show Sunday, and refuted by some of the hundreds who flooded the gun show.

"Banning high-capacity magazines, banning certain individual types of weaponry, doesn't reduce safety. And in fact, what it really does is makes legal gun owners then criminals," said James Newton, a Fort Collins gun owner. "It's essentially about limiting individual freedoms."

Dudley Brown, with Rocky Mountain Gun Owners, says he doesn't think banning high-capacity magazines will make schools any safer.

He says he thinks the better solution is to arm teachers and parents and even some administrators to keep kids safe.



The mag ban is being introduced here as well.

South Carolina is starting to look nice.

So, if a state ban is enacted, would that mean that the 30 rd mags I have currently would be illegal, or would they be grandfathered in? Also, would I need to show proof that I bought them before the ban?

Or is this gonna be another NY state thing, where I must sell my mags out of state within a year...

Hard to say. We just need to make sure that NEITHER happens.

That last part is why the NY ban will be overturned. It affects interstate commerce, which is federal territory.

Wait until the bill is introduced before speculation. Outside myself very few here can read minds and or predict The future. I see yours is full of doubt regarding mag bans and AWB's in CO.

Man, I'm reading "Enemies Foreign and Domestic" right now and the parallels are pretty freaky. I'm only maybe 1/3 of the way through, but it's pretty scary.
