Large capacity magazines

[Straw Man]

60. Correction.

NY has passed a similar law to what you propose after sandy hook - 10 round limit (7 round load limit was deemed unconstitutional), on new mags, with no real grandfathering, but w/registration of existing mags (same with expanded-defined assault weapons).

The NY SAFE Act did not allow grandfathering and registration of existing 10+ mags, except for curio & relic magazines. The law is confusingly worded, and no one is sure exactly what is legal and what isn't. If you call the state police, they tell you that they "don't give legal advice."

See if you can decipher this:

A FEEDING DEVICE THAT IS A CURIO OR RELIC IS DEFINED AS A DEVICE THAT (I)WAS MANUFACTURED AT LEAST FIFTY YEARS PRIOR TO THE CURRENT DATE, (II) IS ONLY CAPABLE OF BEING USED EXCLUSIVELY IN A FIREARM, RIFLE, OR SHOTGUN THAT WAS MANUFACTURED AT LEAST FIFTY YEARS PRIOR TO THE CURRENT DATE, BUT NOT INCLUDING REPLICAS THEREOF.

There is grandfathering and registration of currently-owned "assault weapons." A lot of people chose instead to render their ARs, etc., compliant by adding weirdo non-pistol-grip stocks, fixed magazines, etc. The idea is that they don't trust the state not to one day use registration lists for confiscation.
