Why stop at 9? Some of the pocket semis like the Ruger LPC have six-round magazines (7 if you have one in the chamber)

On Monday, far-left New Mexico state Rep. Patricia Roybal-Caballero (D-Bernalillo) dropped the Democrats’ first anti-gun bill of the 2023 Legislative Session, H.B. 50. The bill is a magazine ban that would make violations of the bill if passed, felons.
The bill reads, “It is unlawful for a person to possess or transfer a large-capacity magazine within New Mexico, except when the person is: a resident of another state who transports
a large-capacity magazine into New Mexico for use exclusively in an established shooting competition” or “a peace officer, in accordance with the policies of the peace officer’s law enforcement agency,” with multiple caveats. Other minor exceptions include being a member of the armed forces, certain manufacturers, certain armored vehicle operators, or those displaying such weapons in government-run museums or exhibits.
It continues, “A person who violates the provisions of Subsection A of this section is guilty of a fourth degree felony and upon conviction shall be sentenced in accordance with the provisions of Section 31-18-15 NMSA 1978.”
Roybal-Caballero requests $1.5 million in state funds to carry out this gun grab throughout 2024, “including the funding of additional local and statewide law enforcement, court process, and incarceration.” She apparently is seeking to lock up more people in prison to push for her anti-gun agenda, despite Democrats claiming to want fewer people in prison.
The bill will likely be just the first of a flurry of bills that are hostile to the Second Amendment and New Mexicans’ other constitutional rights. Other proposals floated include creating a state office of “Gun Violence Prevention,” as well as an addition to New Mexico’s “red flag” bills.

How about Safe Passage when the owner keeps traveling"? Just going through their s#!thole state on the way to a free state?
Safe Passage provision in FOPA, 18 U.S. Code, Section 926A,
Same old same old.
Okay so load each one with nine rounds then tape them together. Each one is separate.
Still won't be legal. It's not how many you load in them, it's how many rounds the magazine is capable of holding.
Good luck enforcing this in Catron County.
So just put nine in one magazine then nine in another. They’re both individual magazines. Then tape then together to have eighteen rounds right there.
Not much chance of local gangs complying. They recently busted a drug and retail theft ring that had a frigging German MG34 for Pete’s sake.
Not just an anti-AR law. Even my Glock 26 has a 10 rnd mag. The std Glock 19 mag is 15 rounds. Haven’t found a 9 rnd mag for either. If the law passes, wait and see if the market comes up with 9 rnd mags for either.
The police should not be exempt.
Whittington Center up for sale yet ...... ?

No idea, been taking a break from shooting. The range where I was working got slammed by covid closures and finally closed.
Dang ...... Chuck Neely still kicking ?
Boy is that not how it works, they are going to ban anything *capable* of holding more than 9. And they probably aren’t going to grandfather them in and have searches and seizures for them and registration.
The blue states are very close to their gun grabbing goals.
Hmmm - thought they were grandfathered in as in: if you have it you can keep it.
Don’t know him.
Problem is that NM only has 2 million inhabitants, to small to Interest manufacturers to tool up production.
