Aw shit. I was thinking of buying some extra mags a few months ago and the tri-clip or whatever. Never got around to it, now they're all out of stock and 2-3x as much on ebay [sad2]
I'm learning the hard way to never put off firearm / ammo / accessory purchases.

I don't own a single magazine under 10 rounds. I refuse to. I carry a glock 17 with its STANDARD 17 round magazine. I refuse to carry anything else. This is suuuuuch bullshit. They're forcing good people out of the state with this shit. No way am I selling or DESTROYING the mags I've spent so much money on!!! **** MA. I've had it. As much as I love this state for its rich history and excellent areas, I guess that's what pictures and books are for. Sad sad day.

It is interesting. And not much coverage on the tax issue either.
Most of the people I have talked to this week are unaware of the NY laws, Patrick's proposal, or the tax changes. Just shows you how much attention the general public is paying.
The good news, if we can get them to do something about it, is most of the folks I have talked to, pro or not, don't think any of this legislation will reduce crime at all. People do not trust the government. They just don't think they can change anything.

Was anyone able to figure out from the legislative speak if a tactical shotgun with an 8 rnd tube would be banned? I'm assuming it would...but then would it be grandfathered if you already owned it?
I swear, they way they put out just the excerpts is meant to confuse people. When we write engineering specs we do strikethroughs and bold the changes. That'd be infinitely simpler.

A couple newspaper articles I was reading said nothing about the magazine restrictions but a lot about everything else. We need to get that out to everyone seeing how that would be the most infuriating part to most gun owners.
Is there any way we can get LEO's to organize on our (and their) behalf to fight this? If the police union came out against this, that would be huge for us.
Does anyone have an account on www.masscops.com to ask?

That thread cracked me up.
"BOLO
My mags were stolen by two effeminate black men in suits with forced flag pins on their lapels. Oddly, they were accompanied by guards carrying scary black assault rifles.
They also stole $140.00 out of this months pay to give to their friends who don't work"
Yes, there is a media blackout, which was part of the roll out strategy.
just sent out a few emails. I will try to make some calls tomorrow.
I'm so sorry you guys. I plan on joining relevant organizations as soon as I move. I would be there on Saturday if I lived there already. I never thought I'd be so happy to be living in Texas for a few more months, or to have grown up and hunted in redneck southern states.

Well, we can draw our own conclusions from the strange new paragraph (iii) added to Section 131 of Chapter 140:
(o) No person shall be issued a license to carry or possess a machine gun in the commonwealth, except that a licensing authority or the colonel of the state police may issue a machine gun license to an individual who possesses a valid license to carry under this section and is:
(i) a firearm instructor certified by the municipal police training committee for the sole purpose of firearm instruction to police personnel;
(ii) a bona fide collector of firearms upon application or upon application for renewal of such license; or
(iii) a law enforcement officer employed by such licensing authority or a law enforcement officer employed by or appointed as a special state police officer by the colonel.
(i) a firearm instructor certified by the municipal police training committee for the sole purpose of firearm instruction to police personnel;
(ii) a bona fide collector of firearms upon application or upon application for renewal of such license; or
(iii) a law enforcement officer employed by such licensing authority or a law enforcement officer employed by or appointed as a special state police officer by the colonel.
There it is.
Grandfathered for one year. Then you have to get rid of them. They're giving you one year to dump all your 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, 40, drums, pre-ban, post-ban, ultra-ban, whatever.
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.
Edit: I stand corrected, thanks. Ten rounds will be OK to keep

This might have been said already so sorry if I am repeating...
Our legislative process is different here than in NY.
Typically its not the gov who has the power.its the speaker of the house. He is the gate keeper. And for some odd reason, the two rarely see eye to eye.
So I would be very surprised to see anything rammed thru in a day. I would also be surprised to see the gov's original ideas not get dramatically altered.
In fact,there have already been comments from some legislators saying interesting, but we will have to review much more. INO , not everyone is jumping on the bandwagon.
This doesn't mean we should sit back. In fact, just the opposite. Contact your legislators.
