Peter King, Boxer, McCarthy & Lautenberg GUN CONTROL...UPDATED 3rd time..

Sounds like its a direct response to the guy who brought an AR to an Obama Speech. I would agree that everyone should not be able to carry up close where the President is at

They already can't.

Apparently 30rd magazines are "weapons of mass destruction" according to McCarthy:

Imagine if the CCW holder at Saturday's shooting had shot Loughner to end the shooting. From all accounts he was only seconds late from being able to do just that. Under this law he would not have been able to be in that position.

Under this law that good samaritan could be prosecuted.

It's a stupid and unenforceable law. Since moving to my new town in July I have run into my Congressman twice on the street. Both times I was carrying. If this law law had been in effect I would have become a felon because I simply had the misfortune to cross paths with an elected official while carrying.

I am really ashamed of Congressman King. I always thought he had a good head on his shoulders. The fact that he is co-sponsoring this stupid and useless bill ruins whatever opinion I had of him.

A couple years ago during the election, I walked out of the court house to find my wife and two daughters being interviewed by a congresswoman and a camera crew. They had been playing around outside while they waited for me. None of us had any idea she was going to be filming a campaign ad that day.

Bam, I was an instant felon under this newly proposed law.

They're also looking to reinstate the "high-capacity magazine ban". Be prepared for magazine shortages and exorbitant prices. http://online.wsj.com/article/BT-CO-...11-714059.html

I'd be pretty damn surprised if they could get a mag ban passed in either house of Congress right now.

Me too. But I wouldn't be surprised if prices go through the roof and availability is rather scarce, similar to the Obama scare not so long ago.

I was thinking about getting into the M&P platform this week. Baaad week.

Might be a good time to unload some of my "20 rnd stainless steel- they'll never rust or wear out AR mags" that I bought before I figured out P-mags.
