Rhode Island Gov. Signs Bill Giving Residents 6 Months to Surrender ‘High-Capacity’ Mags

Rhode Island Gov. Dan McKee (D) signed legislation this week banning ammunition magazines that hold more than ten rounds and giving current owners of said magazines six months to surrender them.

The Providence Journal reports that current owners of “high-capacity” magazines also have the option to modify them so they hold ten or fewer rounds, or “transfer them to people in states where they are legal.”

McKee also signed H.7457, which raises the legal age for gun purchases from 18 to 21 and raises the legal age for purchasing ammunition to 21 as well.

The NRA-ILA warned about H. 7457 when it was put forward, “[It] increases the age from 18 to 21 for the purchase of firearms and ammunition, rendering self-defense for an entire class of legal adults impossible. The 9th Circuit Court recently struck down a similar state law on the West Coast.”

Jeff Goyette owns a gun store in Portsmouth, Rhode Island, and ABC 6 reports that he reacted to the magazine ban by pointing to dangers associated with trying to alter magazines to make them compliant.

Mad Maxine has something of the right idea - ignore him. We will not comply. Resistance R Us.

The sheep will be sheered.

(luckily I live in Idaho where if they pass something like this you’d have a full scale revolution in the works)

The good news is that 10 rounds isn’t lethal at all.

And it’s not like there could be spare magazines.

Just saw this guy’s picture.

People voted for him?

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, struck down California’s
magazine limit law.

Yes, that’s right, the dreaded Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals.

Let’s hope the SCOTUS makes quick work of this. Once they’re
confiscated, you don’t get them back. You have to go out and
purchase new ones.

“Good grief”

Yep, the country is bifurcating - the Red areas are getting a bit redder (think Open Carry, for example), and the Blue areas are getting a LOT bluer (such as this article, and allowing 9 month abortions).

Maybe they should offer gallons of gas for high capacity Mags to motivate law abiding citizens turned criminals , to comply.

Attention all:

Rustlers, cut throats, murderers, bounty hunters, desperados, mugs, pugs, thugs, nitwits, halfwits, dimwits, vipers, snipers, con men, Indian agents, Mexican bandits, muggers, buggerers, bushwhackers, hornswogglers, horse thieves, bull dykes, train robbers, bank robbers, ass-kickers, shit-kickers and Methodists.

Please turn in all weapons. Upon doing so, you’ll receive a sticker that says, ‘I turned mine in, how about you?”

Seriously? Why would anyone turn in their magazines? They have no way of knowing if you have any.
And should things go completely sideways where you really need those magazines the government’s not coming around trying to confiscate them because the government will be in chaos

"I don’t think they’re thinking about what they’re doing,”.

Oh, yes they are. They most assuredly are.

If it stands, smash all your PMAGS then turn them in, or, let the gov go pound sand. There are ways to modify them; the internet probably has show and tell.

The key giveaway is they are pro-crime.

They celebrate the Soros DA’s that drop charges 18 months out and keep their soldiers on the street.

This is about disarming law abiding home owners. Targeted legislation
