We're going to see soon. We've been speculating on what exactly they mean by that since the election campaign; do they literally mean all magazines, period? Or is this a really simplistic and broad way to say that they want to close the "pistol mag loophole" for semi-auto rifles? It's not like they'd get into technical detail about the laws in their campaign platform, which is where this is taken from.

I'm hoping that the status quo of unlimited mags for manual actions and rimfires remains in place, but I'm very unsure of what to expect.

EDIT: Tell ya one thing though, if it does end up being a total, blanket magazine restriction, I'm not going to pin (or weld or whateverthefuck) my 590A1; I'm gonna sell that bitch and trade up to a Beretta 1301. If I'm stuck at five round, it's going to be the most badass five rounds I can get.

I'd wager that it would define a "pistol" magazine to be pistol caliber only. If that's the case, 7.5 FK BRNO PCC when?

Lol.

All I know is my Sub 2000 shares magazines with my Glock, and I'm going to be one dejected camper if I have to block those ten rounders to five.
