the crime bill was passed in '94 and is in effect for 10 years, so it will expire if not renewed next year. it is the main reason you wont find a gunshop that sells pistols that hold more than 10 rounds. you can find guns with higher capacity magazines and they will be referred to as "pre-ban" guns because they were manufactured before the '94 crime bill went into effect.

i remember stocking up on 25 and 40 round clips for my 10/22 and mini-14 when i heard about that bill being passed. the prices on those magazines almost doubled overnight. i sold the 10/22 a few years ago but i still have the mini and all those extra clips.
