New York is first, who is next???

IDK , maybe cause you could hang out at an airport and down planes

And if that's OK , why not an M1 with some depleted uranium munitions

 

Lol I haz 10 forty round mags

 

And motor vehicles.

30,000 people every year.

Every single year, 10x 9/11.

2500 people every month.

577 people every week.

82 people every day.

More than 3 people every hour.

 

I find these threads amusing. Thank you for the laughs.

 

A lot of single-stack subcompacts only hold 7.
The original 1911 design is a 7rd mag.

But I have a 10rd 22lr revolver.

 

So...a Criminal is a person that does not abide by the law. Therefore, what would make you think that the Criminal will not retain or obtain and use larger capacity magazines?

Violent criminals will use the means available to them to commit their illegal acts. I would rather take my chances against a gunman than a bomber.

 

I only find a few 10rd mags for my Ruger 9mm.

 

Not to disagree, but that does not fit with the popular models of interpretation set out by scholars and your Supreme Court, including some of your definitions.

Take a gander at this Rich.

The scholars and supreme court is Tyrannical!!

 

FIFY

 

Sorry my bad.. dinosaur conspiracy... I forgot

Most of the people involved in mass shootings acquired their guns illegally, thus, they still would not have gone through a background or psych test.

Do you understand exactly what the "gun show loophole" is?
Most people don't, because the media doesn't and doesn't report it accurately.

Situation A - I am a gun dealer. Every gun I sell, new or used, requires a Federal form 4473 and background check. State laws may be more restrictive. This applies whether I sell a gun to you at my store or at a gun show.

Situation B - I am a private individual, not a gun dealer. I want to sell my gun to you. FEDERALLY, I can sell that gun to you without a background check or any paperwork, provided that I reasonably believe that you are not prohibited from owning a firearm.
I can sell you that gun at my house, the Walmart parking lot, or a gun show.
State laws may be more restrictive. In California, if the gun is not a C&R long gun, we have to do the transfer at a gun shop and you will have to pass a background check.

Situation C - I am a private individual, not a gun dealer. I want to sell part of my gun collection. I do not have a buyer.
I go to a gun show. I can either buy my own table, or I can buy space on a table that someone else has purchased to allow private parties to have a table. Federally, this is no different than selling my collection in the Walmart parking lot or at the gun range... there are just more potential buyers.

The "Gun show loophole" is the fact that, Federally, private sales are not regulated in most states. It has nothing to do with gun shows specifically.


There are actually politicians who believe that the "gun show loophole" exists in California. It does not, and under Federal law, a Californian can not buy a gun at a show in another state (unless he has a Federal license and the gun is over 50 years old).

The problem with this is it is tantamount to a firearms permit.
The 2A is there to allow us to defend ourselves from a tyrannical government. Put the government in charge of giving us permission to buy a gun and guess what... NOBODY will pass the test.

Won't happen?

It does happen.

The NFA was enacted to control civilian possession of specific weapons including machine guns, silencers, short-barreled weapons, certain large calibers (classified as destructive devices), grenade launchers, bazookas, etc....

The NFA has provisions for many of these weapons to be privately owned, provided that certain conditions are met, and the person pays a $200 tax (and that tax has not changed since 1923).

California also has the same provisions. Legally, I can buy a machine gun or short barreled rifle. All I need is an NFA tax stamp, and a California DOJ "Dangerous Weapons Permit"
There are presently ZERO Dangerous Weapons Permits issued to private individuals. Without that, the BATFE will not issue the NFA tax stamp.

 

Oh yeah, I forgot about the S&W and Ruger 10-shot revolvers. I looked at the S&W 8-shot .357 revolver but bought the 7-shot due to width of the cylinder. I thought it would fit better in a holster.

 

I wish there were more politicians like this...

You put "certain" in the wrong place.
Giving certain people guns takes away MY ability to feel safe.

The type of gun makes no difference. As you said, a 22 can do plenty of damage.

But you are seriously delusional if you believe that you will need "only a couple" of rounds to handle a home intruder.

When something goes bump in the night you're going to be doing good to get the first couple of rounds anywhere NEAR the intruder.
Even cops only run a 20% hit rate.
