Reply to comment by Status_Silver_5114 in Non-Political RI Gun Law Question by provendumb

Dude ... he’s concerned because he can’t find a 10 round mag for his firearm ...not because he is a scofflaw.

Didn’t say he was. But the gun won’t be legal after dec 21st. Why look for a work around to the obvio solution?

The gun will still be legal to own, it’s specifically the component that holds the ammunition and assists feeding it into the chamber (the magazine) that will be illegal.

So without the illegal component the gun is non functional I assume? Get a different gun.

Tell me you know nothing about firearms without telling me you know nothing about firearms.

Is that not factually correct tho? Go ahead I’ll wait.

You won't be waiting long. No, it's not correct.

ProvBroker t1_ixwgu3a wrote

Lol, no it’s not factually correct. Honestly commentary like what you are contributing betrays a complete ignorance of firearm construction and function.

I won’t berate you like the others, but this sort of know nothing commentary leaves pro gun-control legislators and proponents mouths all of the time, which only serves to make the folks who understand the subject matter uncomfortable about accepting the proposals, as it makes it clear the gun control people have absolutely no idea how the thing they are regulating even works.

It’s very important that we have thoughtful and nuanced regulation around the matter so that we can protect important constitutional rights while mitigating tragedies and violence involving deadly weaponry.

No dumb dumb. It's not factual. There will be an injunction. The law is unconstitutional, see the response from the lawyer above. There is precedent showing this will be overturned.

Thats literally one of the main points if the current lawsuit against the state.

OP is being deprived of his legally owned property because of a likely unconstitutional law they passed.

Who's taking it? He still has it. My car can go over 100 mph, am I legally being deprived of it because I can't go that fast? Get a 10 rounder and go on with your life.

glennjersey t1_ixw91hw wrote

That's the point. He can't get a 10 rounder.

Not every firearm has 10 round mags available.

Further - without the magazine the firearm is operable useless. Many of them won't even fire without a magazine inserted (as a safety feature). So your car analogy is more apt if you said someone was taking the gas tank out of your car. Sure they're not taking your car, but they're rendering it pretty useless, no?

What kind of weapon is it?

glennjersey t1_ixw9o8c wrote

OP has not said, other than;

>I cannot order a 10 or less capacity magazine for this firearm as they are not made

One of the young senators made mention of a similar situation during the joke that was the hearings before they passed the law. This is not going to be an uncommon occurrence.

But you won't say what kind because you'll get 50 links showing how easy compliance with the law is

Yes you are. Because in your scenario your engine is capable of pushing your (over $10,000?) car over the speed limit. And having it in your car in your possession would make you a felon.

sailri t1_ixz1td6 wrote

You could just get rid of the engine of course. Isn’t that free? Sure it is. But the cost to replace the engine? And if you can’t the cost to replace the car? That’s taking.
