January 16, 201313 yr 16. Clarify that the Affordable Care Act does not prohibit doctors asking their patients about guns in their homes. What exactly does this have to do with anything?
January 16, 201313 yr An awful lot there that I like. A couple of things I'm not crazy about. Same here.
January 16, 201313 yr An awful lot there that I like. A couple of things I'm not crazy about. Even what I'm not crazy about, I can live with. All in all, very reasonable. Sent from my DROID RAZR using Forum Runner
January 16, 201313 yr - AWB and limit to 10 round magazines This is the only thing that is completely unacceptable IMO.

January 16, 201313 yr Why? Sent from my DROID RAZR using Forum Runner Because I believe it is my right to keep and bear arms. The weapons that the uninformed deem as assault weapons are nothing more than tactically superior arms. Therefore, I should be allowed to have them. Also, I don't plan to have to reload during a gunfight because tactically ignorant sections of our society decided that they didn't want me to have more than ten rounds in my weapon. I can assure you, a criminal that I am protecting myself from will likely have more than ten rounds in his or her mag, if they have a mag fed weapon.
January 16, 201313 yr I can assure you, a criminal that I am protecting myself from will likely have more than ten rounds in his or her mag, if they have a mag fed weapon. Really? I thought we just had a stat posted on here that says something like 90%+ of gun crimes are with handguns.
January 16, 201313 yr Really? I thought we just had a stat posted on here that says something like 90%+ of gun crimes are with handguns.Lots of hand guns hold more than ten rounds..
January 16, 201313 yr I do not see the first 3 restrictions - only the 23. No federal restrictions on mag capacity. Though NY's law is down right scary. This is likely a let down the Joyce Foundation people. I wonder if the result of #4 might apply to the person assigned ownership of the task...
January 16, 201313 yr Really? I thought we just had a stat posted on here that says something like 90%+ of gun crimes are with handguns. I have 15, seventeen, and thirty round mags for several of my handguns. Believe me, most 9mm come stock with a 15 round mag or higher.

January 16, 201313 yr Really? I thought we just had a stat posted on here that says something like 90%+ of gun crimes are with handguns. Neighbor bought a 9mm with 14 round capacity. .40 that was recommended to me was 11 rounds. 9 mm's are popular since the grip is really no different for the 14 round capacity. .40 and .45s with more than 10 rounds have a slightly larger grip - require a larger hand.
