Will High Capacity Mags & Assault Rifles Be Banned? What Do You Think?

So lots of talk on an AR ban and high capacity magazine bans. I think, if anything, the latter has a far higher probability of going through...

But if you had to bet, where you would land?

Everyone in the gun forum is not buying everything they can get their hands on because they believe no laws are going to get passed.

History repeats itself.

Yes, there will be some laws passed to tighten up on guns.

I voted that nothing will be banned.

I wanna scream out loud in a rage every time someone or some news station or radio station (even NPR) repeatedly state that an Assault rifle was used in the Sandy shooting. Last I checked he was only carrying pistols and the rifle was in the fACKING TRUNK!!!!

/rage from non-gun nut

It will be a strengthened version of the 94 AWB, without a doubt. Mags and any tactical type features will be included. I'm surprised they aren't just banning based on the color of the rifle based on the asinine thought process by our elected officials.

there is no option to ban assault rocks

what exactly happens when they ban attachments? can you not buy a completed rifle with them on there? can you not be caught with them on there? how can the verify you building a rifle with attachments?

All black and brown guns will be banned.

The ban in 94 said "you can't buy a rifle with these types of attachments". I don't know about transfers (me selling to you) but it said stores can't sell rifles with certain features (pistol grip, fore grip, etc). As far as building them goes, I'm not sure how you would "modify" a compliant rifle to fit the parameters of the bill but I don't exactly think you could take a hunting rifle and mod it to function like an AR... perhaps

can you not just build an ar15 from the ground up to include a suppressor, attachment rail, grip, laser, flash light, collapsable stock, etc...?

If you have a pre=ban lower receiver, I would assume you could... is this correct?

i don't understand the difference between a "preban" lower and a post 2004 lower

Well say there is a ban tomorrow.. you won't be able to buy any more lowers.

But, if you have 10 lowers lying around, that is technically "the gun" and I suppose, even if a ban is placed, you could still build it to spec as you'd please.

I think this is actually kind of silly, since legislation has not yet been introduced, debated, torn apart, put back together, and then voted on, passed, then introduced to the house to debate, tear apart again, put back together again, voted on, and passed.

It used to be pre-1994 was called "pre-ban" -- ban expired in 2004.

I hope this is the case...put my second Noveske lower to some use with SBR build if that'll still be allowed

PS Chase if you have some extra 30rd PMAGs you are willing to sell at a somewhat decent price, see 100 on GB , let me know. I'm waiting on my Brownelles order confirmation but would like to have at least two just in case.

Sounds good I'll PM you.. I have a bunch of mags that I've ordered for the impending zombie apocalypse but I don't think I need THIS many

If you have too many let me know cause I would like some as well. I ordered a few lowers (that may never arrive) so I'd like to actually have some mags to go with.

That's one of the things that's confused me. I thought it was originally reported he had a glock and a sig and there was a rifle in the trunk, type unspecified.

if i was a betting man, i would some kind of magazine restriction. Im doubtful of a full on AWB.

But then there's case of individual states, fricken IL might try to pull more fast ones. Time to make more pmag backorders? lol

Those that think the ban will happen, do you think the Republicans in congress will allow it to happen (aka, will they vote for it)?
