The legislation banning private gun sales also bans the sale of “high capacity” magazines and bump stocks. And it raises the age for long gun purchases to 21 throughout the state.
The Washington Free Beacon reports that the “high capacity” magazine ban limits rifle magazines to 10 rounds and handgun magazines to 15 rounds.
Scott pointed to a foiled attack on Vermont’s Fair Haven Union High School as justification for placing new gun controls on law-abiding Vermont residents. He did not mention that the alleged 18-year-old, would-be Fair Haven attacker purchased his shotgun at retail, not privately. Moreover, his allegedly plan did not includes bump stocks or “high capacity” magazines.
Scott’s support for gun control comes after he rejected calls for gun control during his gubernatorial campaign.

Donald Trump has admitted that he carries. Are you saying he's poor?
No he does not have to. He has 3 or 4 armed secret service agents 24-7 with him. Man you are so naive.
Doesn't have to, but he does. Said so himself, or do you think he's a liar?
Perfect application for a Mosin Nagant.

I am your age and agree with you.
BUT
That is not really the point.
Remember the old ‘camels nose under the tent’ or the frog in boiling water OR the WWII gem (many versions, but the gist is there)
First they came for the Socialists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Socialist.
Then they came for the Trade Unionists, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Trade Unionist.
Then they came for the Jews, and I did not speak out—
Because I was not a Jew.
Then they came for me—and there was no one left to speak for me.

It seems police need this many if not a lot more shots to take down their targets. Especially if more than one officer is involved. Just saying .
Logically your point is valid. But in the real world of USA, it will be impossible what you are afraid of.
Why??
Because Since December 1791, when 2nd Amendment was enacted, USA is the unique country where civilians could buy firearms. Over 227 years of arming ourselves there are estimated 350-400 Million guns in hands of civilians. Heck we can’t even find the 10 Most Wanted criminals easily, how in the heck are the authorities going to find 350 million guns? Majority of those guns are UNregistered.
It will be far easier to find 11 million illegals than confiscating 350 Million guns.
So, here is what I expect will be enacted in to law. The congress will pass restrictions on SALE of guns with large magazines and raid fire capability.
Finally, no one has ever explained to me how any guns in possession of law breakers will be turned in no matter what laws are passed. Duh...law breakers do not abide by laws!
Relax Seaplaner.... unless you are mega rich person, or a drug dealer, multiple invaders will not bother with you, because there are millions of more lucrative targets available to them.
On the other hand if you are mega rich or a drug dealer, I highly advise you to hire armed guards.
99.99% of home burglaries involve 1 or 2 criminals. Keep your gun loaded and sleep soundly.
I will stick to my point, which is, if one is incapable of dropping 1 or 2 invaders with less than 10 shots, one should not count on any guns to be useful. If one can’t effectively shoot a small handgun, nothing is gonna work. Bigger capacity guns are harder to retrieve and handle.
If you have 5 beautiful daughters, take them frequently to gun range, and teach each one to shoot effectively. And after they become capable in handling hand guns, buy each one a nice 9 mm 10 shot gun. That is what I did with my beautiful 2 daughters.
And I will restate my opinion that unless you are a drug dealer or a mega rich person, statistically a large gang of home invaders will not bother with you. There are millions of more lucrative targets available to them. And if a gang of 5 invaders is stupid enough to invade a middle class family home, their take will be less/hour than flipping burgers at McDonald’s.
But in the real world of USA, it will be impossible what you are afraid of.

On this subject, I am not ‘afraid’ of anything in the true sense of the word, was merely over stating ‘give em an inch and they will take a mile.’
Remember the LIBs have been ‘telling us’ for years that it would be impossible to root out and eject 10 (pick a #) million illegals BUT act like it will be a ‘walk in the park’ to go door to door and ‘collect’ some 350+++ million guns.
Apparently you have ‘no faith’ that non law abiding people will step forward and turn in any weapons that suddenly show up on the ‘list’....
I would say ‘Oh, Ye of little faith’ but we all know you are correct...their title alone should be understood by even the dumbest of the dummies.
Sorry to say, you are missing
the point. Got a dictionary?
Look up “infringed”.
What if one’s five beautiful
daughters were blind ?
When it slides down to grammar, spelling etc, it becomes obvious you have no worthwhile point of view. Enjoy your day, life is short.
You talked about arming your 5
daughters after teaching them how
to shoot. Now, supposing they were
at home, (where you were tasked
with protecting them....5
daughters with weapons, each with
a ten shot mag, would give your
household (assuming you too, we’re
armed) 60 rounds with which to
defend your property and well
being. Your argument for a ten shot
mag is moot. Go ahead and vote to
relent to losing another small piece
of your rights. I’ll fight to keep
what we have left.
The old axiom must be true in
your case...You can’t teach an
old dog new tricks...stay on the
porch.
