Ownership is not outlawed as defined
The problem is, the law does not say that possession is legal. It just does not say that possession is illegal.
That's not a problem. That's how rules work in this country. Can you imagine if there was a statute declaring EVERYTHING that was legal?The problem is, the law does not say that possession is legal. It just does not say that possession is illegal.

You sound like Obama when he said "The problem with the Constitution is that it is a set of negatives, not a list of positives" (paraphrasing).
EDIT: found the quote: "the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties. It says what the states can't do to you. Says what the federal government can't do to you but doesn't say what the federal government or state government must do on your behalf."
We don't need to be told what we can do. We just can't do the things that are spelled out.
It is from the same Jamesonian statute that decrees "no moreth than two 10 gauge guns of shot shall be mounted on the county dredge."
"Ifn thereth be a futureth clipazine invention, capacity shalleth not exceed numbereth of phalangeal digits."
Many believe this was a self serving law put in place by John Calvert, AKA "12 finger jack."

yup:
(b) Prohibited. -- A person may not manufacture, sell, offer for sale, purchase, receive, or transfer a detachable magazine that has a capacity of more than 10 rounds of ammunition for a firearm.
It DOES NOT say possession, transport or use of a standard capacity magazine is prohibited and the other relevant actions are legal in our slightly more free neighboring states. You will not find a law that affirms the legality of pretty much anything. They dont really work that way.

Darn right it's not a problem, and the list of things we can't do is already too damn long.
This discussion reminds me of a great Newton Minow quote:
After 35 years, I have finished a comprehensive study of European comparative law. In Germany, under the law, everything is prohibited, except that which is permitted. In France, under the law, everything is permitted, except that which is prohibited. In the Soviet Union, under the law, everything is prohibited, including that which is permitted. And in Italy, under the law, everything is permitted, especially that which is prohibited.

Where other people may think that means take ownership of it anywhere.
