McCarthy introduced her magazine and gun ban bill.

 

It's know as HR 308 http://www.govtrack.us/congress/billtext.xpd?bill=h112-308

 

Two NJ Co Sponsers are;

 

Rep Rush Holt

Rep Bill Pascrell

 

And it's a also a gun ban bill since it will ban rifles with fixed tubes like on any levergun.

 

Any guess on who the NJ Co Sponsors will be when the Mummy introduces his bill in the Senate?

I know that I read in the Courier the other day that Andrews was signing on as a co-sponsor too, but reading the same article today doesn't say he did... I suspect the article was "tweaked" as of yesterday. :ph34r:

 

I wrote to Andrews (mailed it on Saturday) urging him to oppose this bill. If anyone's interested, I posted a copy of my letter on NJCSD.org

And it's a also a gun ban bill since it will ban rifles with fixed tubes like on any levergun.

 

 

Not quite right. It exempts .22 rimfire. Other tube-fed lever-actions would, like everything else, be limited to ten rounds. Could be a problem for those lever actions chambered for handgun rounds.

 

There is already a NJ sponsor on board - Rush Holt.

 

Don't think this is going to get much traction. Just trampling in the blood of Tucson to further their political agenda. No laws are going to stop a mentally unbalanced person. It's the price we pay for living ina free society - although these folks are attempting to change that - the "free society" part I mean.

 

Adios,

It will be problem, just like magazines, they will be banned. Even antiques. This includes my Winchester 1892 in 25.20 that holds 12 rifle rounds.

Not much traction? Only Guns and Money has nice long list of co sponsors.

Looks like we need to get these bums out of office!!

friggin Rush Holt....

when will these idiots go away?

There is a grandfather clause. OK everybody, lets all rush out now and buy all the large capacity ammunition feeding devices we can, before the ban.

 

Even the MSM has pretty much said that any gun control legislation attempted in this congress is going nowhere. Doesn't mean we don't have to be vigilant, but let's not over-react.

 

Adios,

 

Pizza Bob

you guys do know that both the house AND senate are pro-gun at this moment right? This will die quickly.

 

I hate, HATE the term high capicity magazines. It should be standard capacity magazines. 17 round pistol mags might have been high in 1955 but in 2011 its normal. The AR was built around a 20 round standard magazine, but yet it's a high capacity to these clowns?

I can see calling a 33 round Glock mag or 100 round AR Beta magazine High capacity, but it's 2011. Technology has changed alot in a short amount of time.

Okay, rant over.

Look at some of the exemptions...retired LEOs. So, if you want to carry, want exemptions, and want cool toys in jersey, start a career in law enforcement. It's a bit too late for me, but may be a good idea for others, even with the layoffs.

Grandfather clause? Ain't that a peach. Good luck willing, selling, giving, or transferring to anybody. Nice to know if I need cash for an emergency, my antiques will be worth squat.

 

UPDATE: Here's a nice write up regarding this so called *grandfather's* clause.

Seems like we'll have to PROVE these items were in our possession before the ban.

That's what I like about you, you're such a "glass half full" kinda guy

Cemetery might not be a ball of sunshine, but both he and Sebastian have this one right. McCarthy's bill is written like ALL NJ firearms laws; declare an item as illegal, and then carve out an exception (in this case, the "grandfather-clause") for an affirmative defense.

 

I don't think it's going to really go anywhere (and Cemetery, co-sponsors don't mean anything... somebody pointed out that AWB-2 had 80 co-sponsors and it went nowhere), but we all still need to contact our reps and express our outrage over this pointless infringement.

All I know is, after procrastinating about buying some 15 round mags for my Glock, suddenly I cant find any. Litterally was going to buy some the day after Tuscan. Kicking myself now,

"Rush Friggin Holt" - perfect name for my Congressman. Can anyone point me toward well-written arguments against magazine-size bans? I'm writing to R. Friggin Holt and just wanted some help with writing a rational, thought-out argument. Not that it would sway Friggin's mind, but it will make me feel better. sigh.

 

Thanks!

Not to pat myself on the back, but did you read my letter to Andrews? I linked to it in the second post of this thread. It might give you some ideas on what to talk about.

Oh, sorry, I missed that. Thanks for the slap! And nice writing there.

Add Steven Rothman D-NJ9 to the list of co-sponsors.

For what it's worth, I sent off a contact form letter to Holt, I live in his district. Won't stop him now, but hopefully if enough of us do, it will prevent him from future indiscretions.
