How does magazine capacity all work into this debate? I know that under the AWB, semi-auto firearms were limited to 10 rounds. Now that the AWB has expired, is that limit now gone?

I've been looking at the Springfield XD, which has a 15+1 capacity in 9mm. Is that civilian-legal? What about in MA?

I'm afraid I just don't understand the issue of magazine capacity with semi-autos.

A good summary of the changes in the law is here (that's the official ATF announcement).

Basically, yes... magazines with a capacity greater than 10 rounds, that were manufactured AFTER 1994 are legal now.

I put that in bold because you could buy such magazines before the AWB expired; they just had to be manufactured before 1994.

Dumbest. Law. Ever.

Now that the AWB has expired, is that limit [10 round magazine] now gone?

Poof! All gone!

Yes that limit is gone. I wonder where Gonzales stands on them?
