In response to a Feinstein question our latest Supreme Court appointee said the 2nd Amendment covered firearms in common usage. So, when did a firearm not include the magazine, which commonly accompanies it?

I remember being told by a friend I could get what people now call an assault rifle and 30 rounds magazines for what I paid for books for a semester at college back in 1965. I was just making ends meet, so I passed up getting an M-1 carbine and a bunch of magazines. In a recent America Rifleman magazine, I saw an article saying the CMP sold them for $30, I could have probably gotten everything for less than $100

The right protected by the Second Amendment is "to keep and bear arms." "Arms" comprises the entire firearm, including the magazine.

If the Gestapo can arbitrarily restrict the capacity of the magazine to 10 rounds, it can restrict it to 9. Or 8. Or 5. Or to a single shot. No more magazine-fed firearms at all.

Continually restricting the aspects of a firearm -- magazines, ammunition, parts -- or enacting burdensome taxes, is de facto denial of the Second Amendment. It's the coward's way of sneaking in the back door.

You want one now, tack another zero on that $100.00
