Provisions for magazine limits state specifically that the magazines may not readily be converted to higher capacity, at least that was in the 1994 AWB. I still have 4 ten round HK USP mags, and a few 10 round "20 round" AR mags. Funny thing is, that the 10 round USP mags actually hold 11, the same as the hi-capacity mags.

Illahee,

New York already had a ban on the sale or importation of high capacity magazine made after September 1994. It is currently legal to own a "pre-ban" mag, but since many mags were not marked, how can you tell?

Add to that 5 deaths out of 774 were with rifles. Not "assault rifles", but rifles as a whole. Some of the murders probably were committed with "assault weapons", so even if they all were, they account for 0.65% of all weapons used. Is this legislation really going to be effective, honestly, in your opinion?

The mental health provisions will likely save many more laws than any of the other provisions will.
