[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Rant on...STUPID FU#*&NG LAWS

Posted: 3/23/2002 12:38:15 PM EDT

I went to a gun show today. I was looking at AR mags and the price seemed to hover at $25 each. I did see one guy who was selling them for $15 each with very little finish left on them. It wasn't to long and I came across a guy who had LEO only mags (brand new) for $12 each. As I stood there I watched a guy walk up and show a police ID and walk away with 4 of the brand new $12 mags. What a crock of shit. These gun laws are absolutely asinine.

Rant off.....

If it were me, I would walk up to the mag guy, show a copy of the 2nd Amendment and buy as many $12 mags as I wanted.

What does the 2nd Amendment have to say about $12 mags?

Should've asked him to sell you some, too. He was already breaking the law by selling to the LEO and not requiring a letter on department stationary.

Cop broke the law, too, but I guess our lords and masters can't be bothered with obeying the law, just enforcing it.

You know what pisses me off? My friend who is a PA Trooper can buy LEO hicap mags for guns that are not issued him buy the state and he's not even allowed to use on duty. That is bs. I can see offical duty guns, but any fucking gun he wants ? Guns that he can't carry on duty ? He says its becuase if he goes to court for work and wants to carry concealed he may want to use a different gun other then his duty pistol.

Funny sidebar is that his duty pistol only holds 10 rounds (Berretta 96).

Just remember how mad it makes you when it comes time for elections of pro gun candidates and also time to write your elected officials and voice your opinion on these matters.

As I understand it, not even cops can carry in the courtroom.

I actually took a look at the display mag (as I haven't seen a LEO only mag before). The mag body was stamped with a short number and a date. I am guessing the date was the date of manufacture. The date was something like 11/98 if I remember correctly. I dont remember the manufacturer but the floorplate didn't appear to be marked for LEO only. So it looks like all I would be able to use would be the guts and I think those are available elsewhere. Must be that the mag bodies themselves are "forbidden" for the unwashed masses. What a crock.

That wont work, once you cease to be an LEO, you must sell the mags per ATF rules.

There are those that bring up being "willed" the mags by your dept when you retire, and I doubt you would ever be arrested.

What does the 2nd Amendment have to say about $12 mags?

And what does the 1st Amendment have to say about the internet?
