Exactly how many normal-cap magazines were:
1. Ordered?
2. Back-ordered?
3. Manufactured?
4. Manufacturers put in raw materials purchase order for from their suppliers?
In September 2004?
And in the last 7 years, after having our rights violated for 10 years and seeing the economic microcosm of the FOPA and machine guns manifest itself in properly designed magazines, how many people have augmented the mag supply in civvie hands to what degree?
I know I've bought near fifty mags for various platforms (AR, M14, XD, CZ, Glock, Marlin 795) that exceed the old ban's limitations. Maybe even close to 100 mags.
Any legislation that even WHISPERS mag restrictions that so much as picks up an R-cosponsor will have me dropping a few hundred to a thousand bucks on plastic to further augment my mag situation. I'd probably double my mag situation, and even buy a reasonable load-out for any guns I'm even
day-dreaming of buying, let alone actually own.
We all need to watch this very carefully. "One of their own" was a victim. Never mind the other victims. We can't trust republicans to no side it on some sort if gun ccontrol. We need to write, email, fax and if possible, go visit our critters. We need to let them know that new gun bans will not slove anything. We need to let house members know they could be facing stiff election challenges in 2 years If they jump on the "Ban" wagon.
Some of the statements coming from republicans are disturbing me. This is not just an attack on the 2A, it is also a full force attack on free speech. Our political class will be using this to further cement the divide between them and us. This will not just blow over, IMO. Some jacked up legislation will come of this.
BMOZ is 100% spot-on. They don't care about murder. They care about their own lives, and their own power. They also propose assaults on the 1A, as well as the 2A.
They're morally bankrupt cowards.
They're perfectly happy to attempt to strip us of speech and defense. They truly do not care.
