Judge upholds CO mag restrictions

[zukiphile]

So this court uses the Heller "common use" test for arms, then upholds a prohibition on magazines that are virtually ubiquitous because a magazine isn't a firearm? That's almost not funny enough to laugh at.

We certainly don't need paper, ink or money to exercise protected 1st Am. acts, but Buckley v. Valeo doesn't permit Congress to prohibit political speech through regulation of the components of that activity.

If the magazine limit is ten, how is a belt fed counted?

Most of the magazine restrictions include broad enough language to include belts and clips. So yes, your belt could only be 10 rounds long in such a state.

Yup- most such laws use the phrase "Ammunition Feeding Device" so the restriction applies to boxes, drums, tubes, pans, cloth belts, linked belts, whatever.
