Rhode Island Passes Mandatory Standard Capacity Magazine Turn In

[[Kev308]]

I think if you couple this with new red flag laws trying to get passed, we're going to see a lot of citizens go missing to Gitmo.

Do you want mass noncompliance? Because this is how you get mass noncompliance.

 

[Mr Pew]

Remove under 21 voting and enlistment. Surely they aren't old enough to make the decision to go die if they can't buy cigs, beer or guns. They shouldn't be taxed either. Taxation without representation. Good job idiots.

 

[RoadDawg]

****This. It is somewhat ironic that the only way to really enforce this type of thing comes down to other people with guns enforcing this law over people that also have guns, and now illegal mags.

And there are plenty on the left who will swear that by doing these magazine limits, and gun purchase under 21 bans, that gun crime will go down, and everyone will be safer.

As if criminals will just not use standard capacity mags because they are now illegal.

Do you really believe that they are the ones behind the infringements?

No. They are the useful idiots who are being convinced “… to do something.” Higher crime rates and negative gun press stories are being used as a tool to further the agenda.

The agenda is total ban. The infringements are simply steps in that direction.

Yet another reason I will never go back to RI or New England in general and I have family there going back centuries.

That’s what I want.

Is the government goon squad still allowed to have a mag with more than 10 rounds?

The bill provides exceptions for current and retired law enforcement officers and active duty military or National Guard members.

Is the government goon brute squad still allowed to have a mag with more than 10 rounds?

Fixed.

And OF COURSE they are

WWNC

 

[teratos]

Why do retired law enforcement offers need a provision? I know they do it to pander, but a retired LEO really needs no special privileges. That’s not equal protection.

 

[Matlack]

Fvck that. If you make me a criminal I'll start acting like one.

That's basically what our founding fathers said and did.

 

[ironpony]

Yup, carve-outs. No offense meant but,
.gov Privilege or Blue Privilege ?

 

[teratos]

The first revolution started because of gun confiscation.

The first revolution started because of gun confiscation.

there's not going to be mass gun confiscation or mag confiscation. we're going to be picked off one by one at traffic stops, calls to our house, range trips, hd/sd investigations, etc.

while they're stupid, they're not stupid enough to go door to door and give us the opportunity for a mass armed response.

Odds are good after this morning's Bruen ruling that these laws are going to be declare unconstitutional soon (not soon enough, but soon).

 

[Doctor_M]

One can hope. Mag confiscation is a hill that I'm willing to die on. If they try this in MD, they will force me to change hat color.

Which reminds me of...

 

[Lmo]

The magazine ban will eventually be declared unconstitutional since it violates the Takings Clause of the 5th Amendment.

 

[Mr H]

RI has always been a sad story.

 

[Baldheaded]

The world will eventually have another reset... Because most humans are to stupid to learn from their past mistakes.

Unfortunately, in other "regulatory takings" cases, courts have ruled in favor of the statutes. A regulatory taking of tangible personal property isn't seen as being in the same class as a taking for public use, like condemning land for a highway. That is especially true where there is an option to comply available such as selling the offending property out of state, that provides compensation. I don't agree with that, but that's what courts have ruled in many cases.
