Federal Ban on Standard Capacity Magazines Introduced by Congressional Democrats

BREAKING: Federal Ban on Standard Capacity Magazines Introduced by Congressional Democrats

FEBRUARY 6 2015
BY DAN CANNON

It looks like the anti-gun Democrats are back at it in Congress once again. This time they are looking to bring back the federal ban on magazines that can hold more than 10 rounds. Those of you who lived through the first federal “assault weapons ban” know how troublesome this legislation is.

The new bill is sponsored by Sen. Bob Menendez (D-NJ) in the Senate. In a released statement he said:

“There is no place in our communities for ammunition magazines designed for military-style shootouts, which have been used inside Sandy Hook Elementary School, in Aurora, in Fort Hood, and in Tucson – and it is well-past time for Congress to listen to the American people and put this high-capacity magazine ban back in place.”

In the House, the legislation will be introduced by Rep. Elizabeth Esty (D-CT). She compared gun deaths to car deaths. In a statement she said, “This year is the first year in U.S. history that gun deaths will exceed car deaths. We should be ashamed.”

What Etsy didn’t mention is that stat is likely true not because deaths associated with firearms are going up (they aren’t), but because new safety technology has greatly reduced the number of automotive deaths over the last two decades. An extremely misleading statement.

The bill linked above is not a filed piece of legislation, but is rather a draft created by Rep. Etsy. According to a press release on her website, the bill will include a measure to buyback and prevent the transfer of currently owned magazines.

Fortunately, the GOP has a solid majority in both houses of Congress so this probably isn’t even going to make it out of committee, let alone pass multiple floor votes. However, it is an important reminder that there are plenty of lawmakers at the federal level that would like to see your Second Amendment rights limited.
