I seem to be giving up a whole lot of ground and getting nothing in return but promises that this is just the first step of many. Also have fair warning in my opinion the laws need to apply to all, the second you mention exempting even on duty police you lose any support you may have had from me.

Actually I believe police should be covered under the same restrictions Arcanetrance Jul 2013 #84

FWIW - general sale, and use, of full autos is pretty small. jmg257 Jul 2013 #97

Did not know that I figured that it was a fairly small percentage that own them Arcanetrance Jul 2013 #99

I guarantee you if there was similiar production allowed and similiar controls jmg257 Jul 2013 #100

Forgive me if I'm wrong because I will admit I know very little of guns Arcanetrance Jul 2013 #103

So would you support a limit on the mag size with an exception for 30 round Arcanetrance Jul 2013 #109

Personally? I have no real issues with 10 round mag limits for all. jmg257 Jul 2013 #110

I agree competition usage is definitely not the biggest priority Arcanetrance Jul 2013 #113

Yep - 10rnds should work, mags have been made already, etc. nt jmg257 Jul 2013 #114

So do you own guns at all Arcanetrance Jul 2013 #117

Yes, I do. nt jmg257 Jul 2013 #120

Okay I was asking because it seems reasonable control can be reached Arcanetrance Jul 2013 #121
