.....seems to be the mantra of many anti-gun lawmakers. How so?
Well, it' not simply that I disagree with them. Here in Minnesota, Rep. Erik Simonson (CCCP-Duluth) has introduced a bill (H/T ShotInTheDark) that would ban all body armor without a permit approved by the local sheriff. The trouble is that industrial protective gear and motorcycle/snowmobile apparel like that used by loggers and snowmobilers around Simonson's district uses the same technology as a bulletproof vest. So a bill for public safety would arguably have the effect of making some of Minnesota's greatest industries and motor sports far more dangerous--and possibly cripple winter tourism in Minnesota to boot.
Also, in California, bills have been submitted to make it illegal to own any firearm with a detachable magazine. Because, of course, the Ruger 10/22 is far more lethal than a mere revolver or lever action rifle chambered in .454 Casull, and its ten rounds is far deadlier than the fifteen my Marlin has in its tube magazine.

there are 1/2 pending bills in CA right now. all bad, even calling for a surrendering of items currently legally owned (like 10rd magazines.)
And current gun control laws in California and elsewhere are SO effective. Only three of the top five cities for gang homicide are in the Golden State. Obviously no bangers are getting their guns illegally!
How many machine shops in the USA are capable of making high capacity magazines? maybe about 5,000 or so?
My nickel bet is closer to 50,000 or more. Folding metal and heat treating steel is not exactly rocket science.
