Title: And Ohio jumps on the gun control bandwagon...
Post by: T.O.M. on October 02, 2019, 05:39:39 PM
.. or at least they are trying.

Ohio House Bill 349.  Mag capacity limits.  Any mag over 10 rounds becomes illegal to buy, sell, or possess.  Trick to this one...no grandfather clause.  You can keep your old mags only if you register those mags with the state BCI&I (Bureau of Criminal Investigation and Identification)

https://www.legislature.ohio.gov/legislation/legislation-summary?id=GA133-HB-349

Question I asked at a legislative briefing at work...how do you register an item with no identifying markings?  Aide said that is left to BCI&I to work out, but what has been discussed is stamped serial numbers.  If the stamp destroys your polymer mag?  Tough.  Illegal for you to buy a new one.

Sad to hear.  I hope sense prevails before it passes.

Sounds like y'all need to use them before they break them.

Well, see, that's how the anti gunner's "compromise " system works.

Betcha they'll "compromise " on 20 rd standard* magazines, as for the AR-style 5.56 guns, leaving all the drum-type, etc.,  mags as illegal.

Goooooaaaaaaalllll !  And game.

Oh, and "AR" does not stand for "Assault Rifle."

Terry

*"Standard" varies:  "Early AR-15's had a 25-round magazine. Later model AR-15s used a 20-round waffle-patterned magazine that was meant to be a lightweight, disposable item."  Current NATO standard is 30.  Betcha what "standard" capacity they'll fight for.

I don't think its all that likely to pass,  but the thought is infuriating.

Four words:
I will not comply.
You don't have to say them out loud, probably better not to.  But, four words to live by.
