Sen. Chuck Grassley, a conservative Republican from Iowa, suggested Friday he may be open to a limited form of gun control - restricting the size of gun magazines - if that legislation does not violate the Constitutional protection of gun rights.
"I think that's a whole different issue and it can maybe be dealt with without violating the Second Amendment, but I want to see the legislation," Grassley told Iowa Public Television in an interview Friday.
But he reaffirmed his opposition to reinstating the assault weapons ban that Congress passed in 1994.
Asked if he would support limiting the capacity of gun magazines, Grassley further qualified his remark.
"I would not say at this point because Senator [Dianne] Feinstein has said her bill is going to be much different than the law she got passed in 1994 and I think I'd better wait 'til I see the legislation," he said...

Weasel words.
Thanks for standing up for our rights and the constitution, Upchuck.
That’s mighty republic*nt of you.
Anyhow, I don’t serve you, so please, feel free to control you guns if you want to but know that you will not control mine.
Nope, not acceptable. Full-capacity magazines are good enough for our police officers, they are good enough for me.
Any firearms, ammunition or ammunition magazines that were legally owned in 2012, will ALWAYS be legally owned, no matter what executive orders or laws come down the pike.
I can read the 2nd Amd. Everything I own is legal, and always will be. Those that claim otherwise are liars, oath-breakers, traitors, and domestic enemies.
Including “law makers.”
Because the Judenrat GOP has been totally silent amidst all the hysteria, we could set our clocks on the fact they would not only cave to the MarxoFascists, but help implement their agenda upon us.
That is why the GOP is truly the Judenrat for the MarxoFascists now ruling us.
Enough with these turds. The GOP is OVER.
America needs a second political party.
The 2nd Amendment is not about what type of gun you get to carry. It’s about your right to carry a gun. The end.
I am old, getting older, and getting more pissed off all the time.
Enemedia Propaganda Alert!
Who gives a crap what they think. We will make the decision to keep our guns in our possession and that’s it.
More like the Nazi-rat GOP if you ask me. Why use Nazi propaganda invented for justifying the killing of Jews? Especially since the modern propaganda is all now casting gunowners and TEA as the modern version of “judenrats”.
Oh, and by the way, Grassley needs to feel the heat on this. And also for his pussified behavior in fast and furious, and Obamas various frauds. The ignore his subpeonas, and he does nothing to make them pay a price.
tired of Grassley, he’s all talk.
Who gives a crap what they think. We will make the decision to keep our guns in our possession and that’s it.
What part of the US Constitution gives you the power to tell me how I can defend my life?
Why stop at a 10-round magazine? Limit it to single shot pistols. If you can do the 10 round, you can do the single shot.
Hey Senator, why don't you limit the guards in the US Capital Building to single shot pistols?
YOU FRIGGIN MORONS! GROW A BACKBONE AND STAND UP FOR OUR RIGHTS!!!!!
I guess the only surprise is, he beat McCain and Graham.
Well said.
Obamacare has a pill for that.
Again, the Whigs surrender before the fight begins. They are worse than the French Army.
This is a big deal. Greasely is normally great on guns. This gives cover to all the RINO’s to cave. God damn you, Greasely. GOD DAMN YOU TO HELL.
