It isn't a want or need type of thing. It's idea the misguided, uninformed, and over-reaching actions by stupid people in government really don't solve anything in cases like this. All it does is make them, their chronies, and their equally stupid supporters all warm and fuzzy inside that they "did something."

There is a reason the "assualt weapons ban" of '94 wasn't renewed. Because it was dumb.

Will my life change if I can only have 10 round mags? No not really. Range time won't be quite as fun though. This however does not mean I will support nonsense such as this proposed legislation if it comes my way.

That and if I turned in all my 20 and 30 round mags, the people at the turn-in station would poop themselves and I'd probably end up on a bunch of "lists" :rofl::joker:


Yup and I have never run into a situation when I was hunting where I needed more. Well, maybe when I was shooting gophers but that was with .22 rim fire long rifle.:D

Not sure why people need to arm themselves like Rambo "in case shit goes down". I've never seen the need anywhere I have lived. Maybe I have just been fortunate to never be fearful enough for my personal safety that I would need/want more than 5 rounds in anything.

It's one thing to be a firearm enthusiast but really-you guys are bitching cause they only want you to have 10 rounds in a magazine????? Just be happy y'all can carry a sidearm with or even on you in alot of states down there-cuz you can't up here. You can only transport it to/from a range or service shop. Talk about a PIA!!

Mind you, give them an inch and they will take a mile right? Next thing you know you will only be allowed to carry a cork gun-with a max of 5 rounds lol!

The problem is the government has no such power to regulate to this extent. I feel sorry for you canadians that let your government have so much power over your individual rights.

And as I've said a million times before, criminals by definition do not follow the law, any law against our individual rights only affects those who follow it.

I agree. I don't think state to state differences in regulations do a bit of good to control what people have as far as legal/illegal firearms, ammo, etc. The state you live in might outlaw guns alltogether but if the neighboring state doesn't, there is no way to keep the flow of the firearms from entering. Like you said, criminals don't follow the law!
That's the difference in Canada, gun regulations are country wide and federally enforced. So if it's illegal, unless it was already in the country when whatever law was passed, it most likely has to cross over an international border which is a little more difficult then say provincial borders which have no security-much like many of the states and counties don't.

Personally, I see it as the Federal Government in Canada looking out for the well being of all it's citizens more-so than controlling or taking away our rights. The line between freedom and personal rights and protecting the common interest and well being of the general public is a fine line. Can't make everyone happy either.........

thats what im saying its all bs. some idiot trying to look good and another problem is most people complain about this stuff but who actually acts and contacts there goverment to complain or actually vote for the right people to keep out gun rights most people just ignore it untill its too late and then bitch about it saying thats not right thats my right. WELL YOU SHOULD HAVE FOUGHT FOR IT. STAND UP FOR YOUR RIGHTS BEFORE THERE ALL GONE!!!!!

Not to knock you guys in Canada, but our founding fathers all warned of a large state or federal government. If a government is big enough to give you everything you want it is big enough to take everything away as well.

IMHO the Democrat Party and Liberals in general know full well that gun bans are very, very unpopular even in a liberal state like CT, so just like any liberal/socialist politician they incrementally take your rights away little by little.

They try to ban lead, they try to put a tax on ammo to make it more expensive, they try to limit how many guns a month, anything they can to try an slow you down or limit your rights. In the end you look around and your rights are gone.

As McRat says, how do you boil a frog ??? Easy, put him in cold water and slowly raise the heat. The only problem is that guns are readily available in all most of our 50 states, we still have state rights and some are more ardent supporters of individual rights than others.

JMHO

I guess it's a good thing none of you CT guys own any of those dangerous high capacity assult magazines. All my magazines are 10 round magazines. I just store 20 cartridges in the bottom of each one. I guess my old wards .22 pump is illegal in CT, it holds 15.

The problem isn't the original ban. In Kalifornia, they first banned the sale, then they banned ownership unless you could prove it was purchased pre-ban. Next is the retro-active bans, which outlaw legally purchased guns or accessories after the fact. Unlikely? Kali did just that with certain military rifles like the SKS, AKM's, and L1A1's.

All mine are pre-ban, and I have receipts, but who wants to go to court to prove you're not a crook. So if I take my guns anywhere, I hide, err... don't bring the hi-cap mags.

If it takes u more then 10 rounds to hit your target u probably shouldn't be shooting a gun:roflmao:

Most states have limits on how much a magazine can hold when hunting. For shotguns, it's 3 rounds? or 5 rounds? depending.

Shooting for pleasure is best done with hi-cap mags. There are few things as sweet as lighting up a 1973 Buick Skylark with a FN-FAL (.308) with 20 rnd mags (the only mags made), or 7.62x39 AK with 30 rnd banana mags.

I can tell you this, hiding behind a car like you see in the movies is pretty stupid... :D

SKS and AK 47 have best value for dirty hard work. Ammo is priced good and once you work them to get all the little quirks out if any are known they work like a charm. Take a beatin' that's for sure. American brands are great stuff but the cheap ones listed first here will lay it out if needed. 30 rd. clips have alot of go in them after you pound out first 2 and get that blood pressure up a click. It's the caliber that's easy to get for really making them a good unit to plunk it out hard.
