47. I like how it made cops

instant criminals as they had more than 7 rounds loaded and no exemption was made in the law for law enforcement

Cops are exempt from the gun rules they will be enforcing. Although the legislature, in its haste, initially neglected to include the usual exceptions for active-duty and retired law enforcement officers, it later rectified that situation, restoring the double standard that cops take for granted. Hence current and former cops may possess "assault weapons," put 10 rounds in 10-round magazines, and use even bigger magazines that are denied to mere citizens.
