Slippery slopeHere we have a bill from Oregon...banning all magazines that hold more than 5 bullets. The anti gunners can't help themeselves...they can lie all day long that they only want "common sense" gun laws, but their irrational fear of guns will drive them to ban them when they get the power. Here we see the lie that is the "we will let you keep your 10 round magazines." By banning anything over 5, they are banning all semi automatic rifles, pistols and shotguns.....a back door ban without having to expose themselves to a ban against the actual guns...
Instead of making a law that would actually impact criminals...this law is directed at law abiding gun owners who have committed no crime, they have not used their gun to harm anyone...but they will become criminals for mere possession of a piece of equipment that has been in existence since the creation of guns capable of semi auto fire.......
We know what you want, we know who you are......lie all you want, your lies are known to us....

Prohibits possession of magazine with capacity to hold more than five rounds of ammunition. Provides that person in possession of such magazine must sell or otherwise dispose of magazine within 180 days of effective date of Act. Punishes unlawful possession of magazine capable of holding more than five rounds by maximum of 364 days’ imprisonment, $6,250 fine, or both
I see only one thing that won't hold up in court and that is the locking trigger guards. Heller V will be used to throw that out. Otherwise, everything else may stand.
I do find the 5 round a bit troubling. We have a 15 round in this state. I notice one person trying to make a point that revolvers have at least 6. I looked at new revolvers and most only held 5. But the law is for detachable mags, not cylinders. So the revolver is exempt.
But that proposed law does follow Heller V DC pretty close with the exception of the trigger locks so most of it will go through if that's what Oregon wants.
