IMO the worst part is the pistol mags. Nearly all pistols have over 10 round mags by default and it’s a real pain to have to go to 10. They simply shrunk the pistols and added the firepower during the AWB which made up for it a little bit.
The whole reason the .40 came into popularity was the AWB.
The problem with the new talk is they are going to try to ban anything that even accepts a full size mag. That is the ‘poison pill’ on this, but that is what they want.
IMO this is where they’ve been headed for a long time. The key message here is they don’t feel a need to hide it anymore.
Even the Brady bunch used to say they only wanted “sensible” gun control.
