High-capacity magazines get new scrutiny as Congress returns (barf alert)

Nothing on the mental health crisis yet

[KierkegaardMAN]

Any report of, “I think he is kinder a lot of stress” will soon suffice to seize and incarcerate unsuspecting law abiding citizens.

[real saxophonist]

30 rounds is a standard capacity magazine.

[BitWielder1]

To make sure a homeowner can easily be outgunned by criminals or a SWAT team.

[rexthecat]

Good luck rounding up the bazillion mags.

[mylife]

Why not limit the HP on cars? /s

[databoss]

Exactly. Mine fell in the lake.

[real saxophonist]

I threw mine out of a helicopter.

Maybe they would satisfy their virtual signally urges by banning high capacity magazines holding OVER 100 bullets and making this the national standing (preempting all state and local laws setting lower capacities).

[Surrounded_too]

Violations of the Keep America Free Act ... aka The Constitution.

[Cen-Tejas]

Approximately 63 million people voted for Trump. Reducing rounds in magazines will have about as much “real” effect on mass shootings as drinking coffee will have on getting you drunk.

This is what the 63 million people hate about our Uni Party Congress. They know this but are pushing this fraud so they can claim they did “something”. I think Congress’s approval rating will drop another click or two.

[moovova]

Well, at least they’re leaving “standard” capacity mags alone...

[Truth29]

"30 rounds is a standard capacity magazine."

Exactly right. Combine this ban with red flag laws targeted swatting, and the Left will be able to go after many conservatives whenever they want.

“Good luck rounding up the bazillion mags.”

Especially since they are incredibly easy to manufacture, or even print. All one needs is a spring, the rest is virtually child’s play.

[1Old Pro]

Shouldn't they start scrutinizing:
1) Chicago gun violence?
2) Enforcement of current laws, or lack thereof
3) Policies that contribute to these crimes, like the Florida shooter who everyone knew was a threat.

[Ancesthntr]

“They know this but are pushing this fraud so they can claim they did “something”.”

I am sick and tired of ONLY our RKBA being subjected to emergency measures, proposed without any due consideration of either facts or the rights we have that are supposed to be beyond infringement, and then crammed down our throats. That the Republican Party would EVER be part of such efforts speaks volumes about them (I expect it from the Dems, who have a long history of denying people basic rights, starting with slavery, the KKK and Jim Crow).

[Rappini]

Bring back the Mental Institutions from the 50’s and 60’, obviously updated.

[Cobra64]

People like this jerk, who know nothing about firearms, ammunition, or firearm handling should be writing about the topic.

This moron doesn’t know the difference between a magazine and a bullet. Furthermore...

Help us out. Please provide an image or a link depicting a magazine containing bullets.
