The NFA has been actively lobbying government on this issue. Perhaps if more owners interested in "renting" unaltered standard capacity magazines opted to send an equivalent donation to them and joined up, they could help make dreams come true?
Full capacity mags at the range
- Thread starter RSK
- Start date
Mag limits are ridiculous, criminals don't abide by the law. Law abiding citizens should not be hindered by silly laws based on knee jerk politics. Maybe dealing with criminals seems to far fetched an idea.......? far easier make dumb laws than to deal with real social issues that require more than a rubber stamp. In our business we make decisions based on data, why not try the same thing in the public and elected sectors?? Just saying 
THANK YOU for your answer.
As much as I enjoy full capacity magazine, it will not happen. There's more logical reason to control magazine capacity the name/ design of firearm. If we want to raise the limit to 10 (doable as its the more common limit) most people will disagree. If we raise to 30, the voice of media will shoot it down.
Before any kettle calls pot black, I'm merely stating what actually could be change.

We all appreciate the sentiment RSK, and I even thought like you did when I first got involved.... Do whatever you want, but I'd suggest to take some time and review the successes and failures of the saga... observe the other countries too..... It will become clear that there can be no compromise. You must 'pick a side' if you want to help.
I'm no guns in the bush extremist (no offense to any guns in the bush extremists), I'm a married professional father of three young kids that lives in suburbia.
Our time is coming.... join the NFA, vote, educate and clear up lies.

Come on guys, think of the 7th victim - he/she is the one who this law was designed to save. I'm pretty sure politicians are trained to push 6 people in front of them in the event of a shooting, and this law could save their lives.

"I'm merely stating what actually could be change"
In your opinion you mean! Right? If your willing to settle for 5 or 10 limit you have the wrong attitude and if we all had that attitude we might still have a NR gun registry.
Many People thought we would never get rid of the NR registry. If you enjoy it; it's worth fighting for. Who knows some day we may get increased mag limits or no ATT for restricteds or get the 12-XX class trashed ect ect!
The main thing is the fight continues against pointless and punitive Firearm Laws! Don't give up! And don't give in! Because we can and have made change.

Well because of section 92(13) of the Constitution, which is the totally key part of the Constitution as far as guns go and what was argued over at length when the provinces sued the federal govt. over the gun registry. Federal govt. has the power to regulate property in the interests of public safety but confiscating it is another thing and would appear (to date) to be a provincial jurisdiction. So they can ban the import and manufacture of firearms but not the simple possession and intraprovincial transfer of them. At least many lawyers seem to think that hence the laws as written.
Which does raise the question whether the federal govt. can mandate changes to property such as capacity restrictions.

I always think they're a fool's errand because they're so easy to defeat. It's a box with a spring in it, ffs. You may not be able to make a gun with a 3-D printer but you can certainly make a magazine tube.
Sooner or later they're going to have to revisit the issue and I can't see it necessarily being a good thing for shooters if they do.
well....
DVC has a semi auto tommy gun...
It has a 30 round magazine...
The gun it self is prohibited when they got it was a full auto that was made into a semi auto prohibited by that alone then prohibited by name. They also have snub nose revolvers which are also prohibited which they rent out.

I just count my blessings everyday that we don't live in the UK or Australia.
I saw a video of how they took all those Aussie rifles to the chop saw and binned them. It's the only thing I've ever seen that made me want to throw up and cry at the same time.
In the UK, you need a special permit to buy a shotgun slug! In Australia, pump-action shotguns are prohib, and you're only allowed to store your handgun at the range. At least they don't need ATT's What that has accomplished is driving up the price of black market handguns in Australia to an average $5,000 and after all those public-endangering guns were destroyed, violent crime skyrocketed literally overnight. Everyone knew that law-abiding citizens could no longer defend themselves.

But if the only thing stopping a lunatic is a rivet that can be defeated in 10 sec then there are bigger problems. Legal gun owners are not criminals.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. My rivets are in my mags only because I choose to follow the law. If I choose to follow that law, I will likely choose to follow the other ones. It's a stupid, emotionally driven, feel good law that I don't believe has any impact on crime.
