They're attempting ban STANDARD CAPACITY magazines!

USSC already ruled this UNCONSTITUTIONAL!

[SuperLuminal]

Must be directed at those single rounds that contain more than 10 tips...

They were always a bitch to load into mags anyway...

[SkyDancer]

Guess that’ll finally end gun crime here in WA.

[SPDSHDW]

Stop using their lingo and maybe we’d do okay.

You call it high capacity and they win.

Its an insert capacity here, round mag and be done with it

[MrBambaLaMamba]

So, if this is signed into law, the next time I sail from Gray’s Harbor to Aberdeen to kill an enemy I need to make sure my mags hold less than 10 rounds?

I’ll just bring 30 instead of the usual 25.

[gundog]

How are all of the John Brown Gun Club types gonna like this?

[ought-six]

MIRV bullets? Who knew?

Is there something in the water on the West Coast that causes this communism?

Yeah, it's called "parasites originating in kommiefornia infesting civilization."

Oregon was nice till ..... kalifornians. Washington was nice till ...... kalifornians. Kolorado was nice till ....

Is there something in the water on the West Coast that causes this communism?

Yes, warped minds and it will only get worse.

I’m actually thinking there really may be. After all, one theorized reason for the cruelty and fall of the Roman Empire was high levels of lead in Rome’s water supply.

[RideForever]

... n short this is a magazine ban.

Incorrect. The article states it also includes handguns with capacities greater than 10 rounds.

[DoughtyOne]

Exactly!

[bravo whiskey]

If I read this correctly it does not ban ownership, just manufacture, sale, and distribution. Sounds like a job for a magazine store just across the Idaho border. They could also sell People, Better Homes and Gardens, Guns and Ammo etc.

Sounds like a job for a magazine store just across the Idaho border.

Oh, how very right you are. LMAO!

[Tolerance Sucks Rocks]

Welcome to Maryland, Washingtonians!

[Uncle Miltie]

There go my MIRVs

[ChildOfThe60s]

I’m curious. What handgun holds ten rounds without the use of a magazine?

[lurk]

So, this is ammo that can only be used in high-capacity guns.

BTW, the court recently ruled that CA’s ban on high-cap magazines was not constitutional.

[RainMan]

All my handguns have a capacity of 1 without a magazine (no, I don’t own a revolver).

“what in the heck is high capacity ammo?”

I was wondering the same thing. My first thought was that if there was a gun that had a high capacity magazine in a certain caliber, then the ammunition was out lawed. Kind of like Mexico, where all military calibers are forbidden. Having said that, it would pretty much outlaw almost every caliber since almost every modern caliber cartridge has been used at one time or another in a high capacity gun. The only one I have not seen is the 38 Super (which is a really good caliber and very popular in Mexico). Heck, automatics have even been chambered in 38 Special and the 357.
