Ten round limit legislation one vote away from passage

Oppose the 10 round limit.  Oppose Senate Bill 5078.  Be sure to register your opposition again.  This is it. 

Late last week, Magazine Ban legislation, Senate Bill 5078, was passed out of the House Committee on Civil Rights and Judiciary on a party-line 11 D versus 6 R vote.  Anti-gun legislators are pulling out all the stops to get this measure passed as soon as possible; it now heads to the Rules Committee and it could receive a final vote on the House Floor as early as Wednesday, February 23. 

Senate Bill 5078, bans the manufacture, sale, transfer, importation, etc., of magazines that “are capable of holding,” or hold more than, 10 rounds of ammunition.  This includes conversion kits or parts from which any such magazine may be assembled.  

These so-called “high capacity” magazines are, in fact, standard equipment for commonly-owned firearms that many Americans constitutionally and effectively use for an entire range of lawful purposes, such as self-defense or competition.  For example, the Glock 19 was the most commonly purchased firearm of 2021 and has a standard-issue magazine that holds 15 rounds of ammunition. 

Any violation of this measure would be a gross misdemeanor, punishable by a maximum of 364 days in jail and/or a fine of up to $5,000.

A ban on possession the magazine your firearm came with is a clear violation of the state's Constitutional right to "bear arms in defense of self and state," let alone the US 2nd Amendment.

Oppose the 10 round limit.  Oppose Senate Bill 5078.
