Sir,
I’ve listened to your interview here —
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ILA3wjNYi8o (starting around 55:00) —
in which you’re predicting that the Obama régime will ban high-capacity magazines rather than the guns themselves (in order to have a permanent legislation passed by Congress).
But what about wheel guns? There a lot of ‘em out there. As well as hunting rifles that do not require magazines. Besides, aren’t magazines too easy to manufacture? Any sheet metal shop or machine shop could black-market those things.
I’m not saying you’re wrong. I’m just curious about how you’d answer those points.
Magazines are the weak point, in terms of putting semi-auto pistols and rifles out of action.
Ban mags over 10 rounds, make that a felony, and voila, most semis will be useless until factories gear up to make ten rounders that cannot possibly be modified to accept more than that number.
Manufacturers won’t dare to make anything else, and “stamped sheet metal mags” are a lot harder to make than you might imagine. Can you make them? Reliable ones? If you have a friend who could make them, would he be willing to be sent to prison for making them for you? I doubt it.
Perhaps thousands or millions of gun owners will hide their full-capacity Glock or AR mags, and in the meantime, buy new ten rounders. But the full-cap mags will need to be very well hidden, since they will be the same as hiding heroin, meth, C-4 etc, in terms of prison time if you are caught.
