McCarthy bill caps ammunition magazines at 10 bullets
The Hill ^ | January 13, 2011 | MIke Lillis

Rep. Carolyn McCarthy (D-N.Y.) will introduce legislation next week capping ammunition magazines at 10 bullets, she announced Thursday.

[Snip]

Since the tragedy, however, Republican leaders have aligned themselves squarely against gun reforms proposed even by members of their own party.

The 1994 assault-weapons ban included the same 10-bullet cap, but that law expired in 2004.

Like the assault-weapons ban, McCarthy's bill will ban high-capacity magazines manufactured after the law is enacted — meaning it doesn't prohibit possession of those made beforehand.

10 bullets isn't much good without the rest of the cartridge any how. Idiot. You think they would at least make an effort to know what they are talking about before they start pontificating

As long as they don't restrict belt fed ammo.

No, I’m no way that sophisticated. I go to the range and shoot at stationary targets 7-15 yds. away.

I’d love to go to a real school, Mad Ogre’s would be my first choice but that is just because I’d love to take a drive up that way.

I’m definitely not trained in defensive pistol, I’ve just shot a handgun all my life and like to think I could do it in a moment of stress. Prolly not gonna happen I know, but it’s better than being pure sheep.

I hear what you say, you are 100% right on. Thanx for the advice, from my heart.

Giffords was what, the first person shot? Second? Third? Fourth? Fifth? Sixth? Seventh? Eighth? Ninth? Tenth? ...
How, Ms. McCarthy, is this limitation relevant to that which allegedly initiates it?

No crim is going to just let you stand there, adopt a stance, carefully raise from a table a loaded weapon, wait for you to size up the target, aim and squeeze off a round at a known and standardized distance in ideal light.

Which is why I refuse to ever learn to shoot with BOTH hands. I am not interested in becoming an expert target marksman. I want to be able to shoot one handed and hit a human size target with multiple rounds.

I figure I can get the job done.

Interesting.

I just got an email today from my favorite ammo supplier advertising 75-round drum magazines for AKs. Decent price, too.

Good for McCarthy! Now a lunatic can safely walk up to 10 unarmed, law-abiding citizens and kill them. But no MORE than 10 murders, that would be ILLEGAL!

If Boehner even allows this up for a vote in committee, he should be forced out. It’s bad enough he’s backing uber-RINO Maria Cino for RNC Chair.

You can’t put a magazine clip on a Smith and Wesson Model 10, 14, 15, 64 or 67, baby! I would buy them, all day long, in blue, in nickel, in teflon (yes, I know what that does), in duracoat. I would buy them all, pre-lock! (Figure that one out, baby!)

The 2nd Amendment, you know, the one that SCOTUS late last year has defined with the words, “shall not”? What part of your Communist pinko mind gets that, baby?

Oh, and for “rhetoric’s sake”, “Your so ugly you could be a modern art masterpice!” (courtesy of Gunny R. Lee Ermly, as Gunny Sgt. Hartmann in “Full Metal Jacket”.) I guess that covers the copyright.

Yeah, and on that day, I was left standing on the train paddock, stranded, and in the snow, with no trains running through Bethpage back to Ronkonkoma, for me to get home!

She is the dangerous anti-gun moonbat, ever since.

A worthless bill, sure, but I think it’s law in CA already.

McCarthy’s bill would increase crime.

We also need to ban the shoulder thing that goes up.
