I wonder how many so called gun lovers have fallen into this idiot pit?

thanks for that, i'll have to look up those models and compare
until my current mate came into my life (CCW permitted), i was not a fan of guns in any manner. matter of fact, i was so against them that those who possessed them weren't allowed in my home.
then life threw a few curve balls and i got some defensive training and a man with a permit.
don't get me wrong, i knew about guns, i had shot friend's guns but i was no fan.
anyway, i really appreciate those who have helped me learn
unfortunately, they are necessity to maintain freedom and i'm now glad i've learned because the lessons have already been put to use, once. hopefully never again but i now know i could if i had to and that's a good lesson to learn.
as for the P111, yes, the stock mag size is 12+1 (and i can get up to a 30) ... so it would qualify for the ban.
P111 specs
i'm hoping some of you gurus would comment on the 'grip' comments others have made.
is the way this thing worded really eliminating/including anything with a grip as we know them ??
could that be why there is no specific 'handgun' list in her proposal ??
i did find that awfully strange but wasn't sure why.
ETA -- woah, i just remembered that when i used the default search on this machine (yahoo) to search the link above, the main link for TI showed as 1st result, but when i clicked it, the page 404'd
what is that about, anybody know ??
i used "ask.com" to provide the link but what's up with the factory link being 404'd, ever ??edit on 3-2-2013 by Honor93 because: ETA

The 'Broomhandle' Mauser seems to fall into the category, as it was manufactured with a stripper clip loaded magazine of both more and less than 10 round capacity.
Slightly older design than the Colt 1911, but not largely popular today (unlike the 1911) for obvious reasons of concealability and difficulty of reloading.

i would beg to differ with your opinion.

No, it wouldn't. USA Constitution defines Treason as "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort." under Section III, Article III.
Nor could she be charged with sedition, although many members of ATS likely could, under Smith Act.
see the bold above.
if you think differently, you would be jumping the gun, so to speak.

@ Dustytoad - howdy.
i think the best i can do is give you the page # cause i think the link goes sraight to the 1st page ... so, here's the link again and you'll find the excerpt on pg 11, top of the page.
the bill
yes, it is talking about magazines used in any SAW.
and yes, that includes pistols.
before ppl claim that it applies to a specific model of weapon, please go back to pg 2 - line 18 - entry (36) The term 'SAW' (semi-auto weapon) means any of the following ... blah, blah, blah.
the next revised section is (37) on pg 11.
(and if you notice, replacement sections 32, 33, 34, & 35 appear to be 'absent', so i'll have to go back and re-read Title 18 of the USC to determine what has remained unchanged)
yes, that glock would be permissable, so long as the mag cannot be modified to accept more than 10 rounds.
[if you are not a craftsperson, i am and i can assure you that it can be readily modified - dremel and a guage work wonders]
as for that particular model, it is too big for me and not likely something i would invest in, even if it was my only choice.
here is my current home defense piece ... it would be banned.
P111
i would love one of the anti-ppl to tell me why mine is sooooo much more dangerous that is should be banned.

Amendment and natural right to bear “arms” remains strong and untainted, but our willingness to call them legal “firearms” makes them able to be regulated and indeed eventually confiscated by government.
It is the clasic battle between lawful vs legal. And it is this voluntary acceptance of Federal contract (license) that puts our lawful guns (arms) at risk as legal “firearms”, and nothing else
Exactly right.
We have empowered them to do what they have and will do through our complacency and gullibility. We have been gullible enough to believe that the GCA's of 1934 and 1968 were needed for our own safety. We left them put their foot in the door.
Damn near need to shoot them to get them out of the house now. ( I am speaking metaphorically, of course... )

Light guns with high caliber bullets are awful in terms of recoil. And the 4 inch barrell makes it lousy for medium to long range accuracy. I would stick to 9mm at most. More steel or weight dampens the recoil and makes shooting fun.
and if you'd like to appear minimally intelligent, you might want to review how legislation advances in this country. she cannot pass anything by herself
but if you want to look at least moderatedly literate you have to do a little better than bolding a random portion of the message and saying that I am wrong because of it.
How exactly does her action of passing this bill constitutes giving aiding and confort to an enemy the USA is at war with?
