Under the bill, an “assault weapon” is an automatic firearm or semi-automatic firearm capable of accepting a detachable magazine with the capacity of accepting ten or more cartridges and a semi-automatic firearm with a fixed magazine with the capacity of accepting ten or more cartridges.
Elected officials feel the need to "do something" about the gun control problem, and anything they propose is either illogical, impossible, or inane.
Take Kel-Tec .380 semi-automatic pistol. It is "magazine fed", and so by the bill proposed in Ohio it
I don't believe that anyone currently offers for sale a 10-round magazine for the P3AT, but the standard 6-round magazine may be replaced by a 7-round magazine ... which IS currently available. And who cares? It's a freaking Belly Gun, inadequate even for self-defense at distances over, say ... six inches?
And it doesn't matter whether a 10-round magazine is available for the Kel-Tec. Under the proposed Ohio bill, the gun is capable of accepting a detachable magazine with the capacity of accepting ten or more cartridges
Which means that if the bill is enacted, the Mouse Gun is now an Assault Weapon.
Columbus—Today, Senator Michael Skindell (D–Lakewood) and Senator Charleta B. Tavares (D-Columbus) introduced Senate Bill 260, which would establish an assault weapons ban throughout Ohio.
The legislation specifically makes it a felony of the fifth degree for possessing or acquiring an assault weapon. Under the bill, an “assault weapon” is an automatic firearm or semi-automatic firearm capable of accepting a detachable magazine with the capacity of accepting ten or more cartridges and a semi-automatic firearm with a fixed magazine with the capacity of accepting ten or more cartridges. The legislation models Senate Bill 18 introduced in 2013 and co-sponsored by Senators Skindell and Tavares.
