Democratic senators have offered an amendment to the cybersecurity bill that would limit the purchase of high capacity gun magazines for some consumers.

Shortly after the Cybersecurity Act gained Senate approval to proceed to filing proposed amendments and a vote next week, Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.), a sponsor of the gun control amendment, came to the floor to defend the idea of implementing some “reasonable” gun control measures.



The amendment was sponsored by Democratic Sens. Frank Lautenberg (N.J.), Barbara Boxer (Calif.), Jack Reed (R.I.), Bob Menendez (N.J.), Kirsten Gillibrand (N.Y.), Schumer and Dianne Feinstein (Calif.). S.A. 2575 would make it illegal to transfer or possess large capacity feeding devices such as gun magazines, belts, feed stripes and drums of more than 10 rounds of ammunition with the exception of .22 caliber rim fire ammunition.
The amendment is identical to a separate bill sponsored by Lautenberg. Feinstein was the sponsor of the assault weapons ban, which expired in 2004.

Just the Democrats? Hell, Bill Kristol called for banning everything but revolvers and hunting rifles. Oh yeah, I forgot, neo-conservatives are Democrats.

Agreed. Surest way to kill a bad bill is to make it worse - especially to the remaining supporters. Few Republicans, who might like the domestic control aspects, will dare vote for any gun control right now.

You may depend upon it.

I do for the 1911s and older Walthers that I have - but not for anything I'm bringing to a serious gunfight.

Unbelievable.

This is spreading like wildfire over the internet tubes.

I am being told by someone on the Hill we need to call our Senators and urge them *NOT* to pass this bill and especially oppose this amendment.

There is a legitimate chance the amendment could stand.

The next amendment I am sure well be to ban internet sales of ammo.

[Kluge]

Lautenberg again. Schumer again. Boxer again. Feinstein too.

Those jackasses have so many anti-freedom bills that it's ridiculous.

[Noob]

Rand should add an amendment to repeal the 1927 law banning the mailing of concealable weapons.

[James Madison]

*Doesn't apply to cops

Lautenberg again. Schumer again. Boxer again. Feinstein too.

Democrats offer bill to ban online ammunition sales following Colorado shooting

Democratic Sen. Frank Lautenberg on Monday continued his lead role in advancing gun control legislation in the wake of the Aurora, Colo. mass shooting by introducing a bill to ban the online sale of ammunition.
"If someone wants to purchase deadly ammunition, they should have to come face-to-face with the seller," Lautenberg stated in his announcement. "It's one thing to buy a pair of shoes online, but it should take more than a click of the mouse to amass thousands of rounds of ammunition."

"The Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act" asserts the following: ammunition will only be sold by licensed dealers; buyers who are not licensed dealers will be required to present photo identification; and licensed dealers must maintain records of ammunition sales and report to officials the sale of more than 1,000 rounds to an unlicensed person. Democratic Rep. Carolyn McCarthy of New York, whose husband was killed and son severely injured in the 1993 Long Island Rail Road mass shooting, has signed on to publicly support the bill.
