ONCE AGAIN, a magazine is not ammunition. Forky should stop digging.

You are misinformed.......and wrong.
CowboyKell, who once said he believed something "just because" weighs in, and the dip believes him.

The ammosexual who killed the kids below used a clip that held 30 bullets, which was legal to purchase at the time. Because freedom. Like I said, those are now illegal in Connecticut.


I'm not speaking about semantics. You can call it ammo or bullets or anything else that is readily understood to mean the projectiles that ultimately come out the end of a 'gun' (or rifle, or firearm, or whatever). The same with the 'magazine' or clip, or any other term that is readily understood. Even the firearm itself, assault rifle, long rifle, gun.

It is still perfectly legal in the state of Connecticut to buy sell or own the same ammo, the same magazines and the same weapon now as it was before. Gun laws are almost always poorly written by lawmakers who do not truly understand the subject they are trying to regulate.
If you would like to educate yourself on the matter I would suggest looking up things like 80%, bullet buttons and mag blocks.

Or...you could go on believing only with your heart and without logical thought as a balance.

From YOUR site:

"Anyone, except a servicemember, who moves into Connecticut in lawful possession of an LCM [large capacity magazine] has 90 days to either permanently disable it, sell it to a gun dealer, or take it out of state (CGS § 53-202x(d))."

"And so part of the reason, I think, [Firearms Regulation] ends up being such a difficult issue is because people occupy different realities. There are a whole bunch of law abiding citizens who have grown up hunting with their dads or going to the shooting range and are responsible gun owners. And then there’s the reality there are neighborhoods around the country where it is easier for a 12 or 13 year old to purchase a gun, and cheaper, than it is for them to get a book.”
__President Barack Hussein Obama, 7 January 2016

DonDiego cannot be certain to which neighborhoods The Obama refers, but he supposes that nowadays what with Amazon.com and Paypal and United Parcel Service one would be hard-pressed to find a domicile in which a gun is cheaper than a book.
Why, heckfire, . . . the background check alone costs more than lots of book !

In any case, if The Obama's reasoning is sound, wouldn't a better solution to improving the lives of "The Children" be to lower the price of books rather than restrict gun ownership to raise the price of guns. Of course The Obama's reasoning could be unsound; perhaps the children of whom he speaks have a greater demand for guns than books regardless of the price. The Obama's reasoning has been unsound before.

One solution DonDiego suggests is that responsible parents of 12 and 13 year-olds encourage a preference for books over guns in their offspring, regardless of the neighborhood.

In any case Federal Law already prohibits Licensed Firearm Dealers from selling a handgun to anyone under 21 and Unlicensed Persons from selling a handgun to anyone under 18. Hah! Yet another solution: enforce the current Laws.

DonDiego encourages the interested reader, if any, to come up with even better solutions not involving violation of the US Constitution's Second Amendment.

It's not MY site. It's the State of Connecticut's.

Per the code you cite the magazines used in the Sandy Hook shooting are still legal with simple modification, which has precedence in case law.

My overall point here is that many passionate people who want more and more laws restricting gun ownership know very little about what they are doing or saying. You are proving this point for me.
For every law there is a loophole. For every restriction that FEELS like the right thing to do there is a logical rebuttal.
