HB1224: Magazine "kits"?

[DeusExMachina]

What's the legality of a magazine kit? What is defined as a "magazine" by the bill?

Furthermore, if I damage a part of my magazine, can I buy a replacement part?

[merl]

the readily converted part would likely rule out replacing mag bodies.

The way I read HB 1224, any mag that "can" be converted to more than 15-rnds are banned. Thus almost all Glock mags are banned, except for the 10-rounders...

It seemed like they could be altered to make modification impossible, but that would result in permanently attaching the base plate to the mag body... and that pretty much makes it impossible to rebuild/repair a mag.

Any way you look at this, it's gonna be a disaster.

F@#$ that. They didn't see it interpreted that way, so neither will I.

The bill states "readily converted to accept..."
The definition of readily is


Therefore, the replacing of mag bodies are *difficult* repairs for me so the rules do not apply to me.

[Gman]

I will not comply with this law.

Permanently attaching the base plate to the magazine body would also make proper cleaning of the magazine rather difficult if that base plate cannot be removed.

Yes. Yes it would... same as replacing a worn spring, or follower, etc... all normal functions.

As I told my representative, this looks like a back-door attempt to ban popular firearms.

Sure, and we may still be able to keep our firearms but not the magazines and next the ammo AND COMPONENTS will be taxed so damn high that we won't be able to afford them. Get your reloading stuff before it is made illegal to use or even own em.

What, you guys don't have to register and do fingerprints to buy your ammo yet?

Anyone want to buy Lincoln's hatchet? Very well cared for, handle was replaced a few years back. Used regularly, so last week I replaced the head and sharpened it...
