I think the grabboids have learned from their experience with the AWB. They will use Tucson to ban magazines holding more than 10 rounds, and that law will pass, count on it. And it won’t have a sunset.
The only question is, will our currently owned mags be grandfathered?
But “high cap” mags over 10 rounds will be banned by 2012 and forever after. Count on it.
Mine will be by the power invested in me by the Second Ammendment.
the ban will only happen if we allow it to happen.
I doubt it. So many of the newly elected Reps from both sides of the aisle have such sturdy creds in this area, I don't think that even Tuscon will be able to overcome the radiation that emanates from gun control and the chilling effect it has on political careers. The fact that Americans each and every month from Nov 2008 thru March of 2010 purchased enough firearms, magazines and ammo to completely equip the combined armies of both India and pakistan (each and every single month!) will have a calming effect on the pols who want to remain in power. It wasn't just Republicans buying all that firepower, after all. The RATS are so deep in the hole that nobody except the mental moonbeams like Boxer and Feinstein and Carolyn McCarthy are going to sign onto this kind of legislative kool-aid. I just don't see it happening. EVEN IF it makes it past the Senate (which I doubt), it is still DOA in the House.
I think you are a bit over pessimistic. How about a friendly wager? If such a bill passes by 1 January, 2012, I will buy a case of your new book, Castigo Cay. If it doesn't, you ship me a case of autographed copies for free.
Seems like a win-win to me. We could have B4Ranch or another prominent freeper judge who wins.
I don't think they can get it through Congress.
