Kevin, I thought Colt already made Colt .45 Malt liquor, aka "the elixer of the gods"? Nuthin' dis here good ole boy dud'nt like more den gettin' good and snookered 'fore I goes ta coon huntin'!

RMW, Still, the mag limit is 10 rounds + one "up the spout". Technically, it only cut the Browning Hi-Power, for example, down 3 rounds, from 13 to 10. I've always been a .45 man, meself, so the ban did'nt effect me much. "sides, I stocked up on high cap mags before the ban, so my safe is loaded with them. Reckon I should have sold them 5 years ago for a big profit, before the ban lapsed.

The reality now, is, that even if the ban is re-imposed by a new Congress/Kerry, the manufactures have already produced millions of new, "grandfathered" mags/"assault weapons" for the gun market. They were all tooled up, just waiting for the deadline to pass. Kind of ironic.

Bush, in his typical stumbling, blundering way, did make an excellent point last night when he stated that exsisting gun violations should be heavily prosecuted. They're doing that in Ct., and it works!

Recently, I've noticed, they've been busting drug dealers in Bpt., and finding they are carrying knifes, rather than guns! The penalty for carrying an illegal gun is so high now, no self-respecting drug dealer wants to be caught dead with one! Which isn't to say illegal guns are'nt still a problem; just that gun crime is way down. Check the latest FBI/Ct crime stats for confirmation.
