H/T and kudos to Miguel at Gunfree Zone, first the Assault Weapons Ban, SB1670. At first glance, it looks like the New York bill (what a surprise!) with a single feature test, but a 10 round magazine limit (Colorado is currently at 15, New York at 8). It also outlaws any semiautomatic shotgun that can easily accommodate more than five rounds. No mention of revolvers at all. Full text of the bill here in html. It considers semiautomatic pistols as assault weapons if the magazine is not in the hand grip, making things like your 1896 "Broom Handle" Mauser an assault weapon.

That several states are introducing so similar of bills in so short of time period is no coincidence. The progressives are reverting to their "think locally act globally" mindset. Freefor needs to do that as well.
ReplyDeleteOops that's "act logally, think globally."
