Magazine Capicity

[cwi555]

Another example of blocked magazines would be the M14 magazines that came in from China. The follower had a sheet metal tang that prevented it from fully depressing under 20 rounds. Take the base plate off, drop the follower out and with < 30 seconds and a dremel cut off wheel, you had a 20 round magazine.

I'm not going to modify my mags either.

The following is from a proposed bill from the Gov of NannyMA.
This isn't law.
Yet. But this is how they are wording it.
Note the unveiled confiscation.
Items legally possessed must be sold.

SECTION 24. Said section 131M of chapter 140 of the General Laws, as so appearing, is hereby further amended by striking out, in line 3, the word “1994.” and inserting in place thereof the following words:- 1994; or (ii) a large capacity feeding device that has a capacity of, or that can be readily restored or converted to accept, more than ten rounds of ammunition; or (iii) a large capacity feeding device that such person lawfully possessed before the effective date of this act that has a capacity of, or that can readily be restored or converted to accept, more than seven but no more than ten rounds of ammunition, where such device contains more than seven rounds of ammunition.”

SECTION 25. Said section 131M of chapter 140 of the General Laws, as so appearing, is hereby further amended by adding the following paragraph:
Any large capacity feeding device that has or can readily be restored or converted to accept more than ten rounds of ammunition that was legally possessed by an individual prior to the enactment of this act must be sold or otherwise lawfully disposed of within one year of the act’s effective date. Such large capacity feeding devices may only be sold or disposed of to a purchaser authorized to possess such weapons.

What's not shown here is if you "mistakenly" load 8 rounds into your grandfathered 10 round magazine, you are subject to a hefty fine and/or jail time.

And how about this one, also just part of a pending bill:

Section 18D. Whoever, while in the commission or attempted commission of a misdemeanor that has as an element the use, attempted use, or threatened use of physical force against the person of another, has in his possession or under his control a firearm, rifle, or shotgun, shall, in addition to the penalty for such offense, be punished by imprisonment in the state prison for not more than 10 years, or in the house of correction for not more than 2 ½ years, or by a fine of not more than $5,000, or by both such fine and imprisonment.

So don't flip anyone the bird while carrying...
