The kneejerk reaction to the shooting in Tuscon AZ is officially... Writing a bill banning magazines over the capacity of 10 rounds. The bill is worthless.
There is also allot of unconstitutional language in the bill such as the forfeit of these magazines. It is unconstitutional for the government to take your property without due process. I could see them offering $30 a magazine during confiscation.
This bill was written by Congresswoman Carolyn Mccarthy of New York's 4th district.
There is not a single gun law that would have stopped this man. Using this logic to ban magazines is absurd, there was already a law on the books making it illegal to savagely kill people and he ignored that one. Politicians need to stop trying to legislate away problems. It's even more sick that the congresswoman used this tragedy as a chance to make political gains.
With a Republican house majority this bill will likely never see the light of day as it will need some Republican support to pass through the house. However I encourage you to contact your representatives and strongly suggest to oppose this bill. They do actually take these comments into account so you wont be wasting your time.
