One way to look at it is that 10-round magazines are readily available. In the eyes of many, limiting handguns to 10 rounds doesn't place a huge imposition on gun owners. In places like New York, most folks already have them by default.Why does anyone think a seven round mag capacity will necessarily be declared unconstitutional? The ten round limit has not.
^^ Move.
Take your intellectual value and your economic value elsewhere. And make sure you tell the leadership of your former state why. Maybe they will get the point. Probably not. In any event... it's your choice where to reside.
But nobody makes 7-round mags for the Glock 17, the Beretta 92, the Sig P226, the Ruger P95, or any other major service pistol.
They will. Market forces will prevail. And 1911's will come back into style.

I just talked to Jim. He said that anyone affected by this law should call him at his office tomorrow. The telephone number is 716.202.4301
He's doing the case pro bono.
It will almost immediately be challenged in court. The Heller decision protects the ownership of handguns, and of weapons "in common use."
and what is a fella to do in the meantime with his stash of pre ban hi cap mags? court cases can take along time.
This! It'd be difficult to do, with aso many sources, but it cetainly would be just.Maybe this would be a good time for magazine manufacturers and gun makers to simply refuse to sell guns, ammo or magazines to the State of NY or any of the political subdivisions thereof. Or at least no more than a 7 round mag.
"This is going to go after those who are bringing illegal guns into the state, who are slaughtering people in New York City," Skelos said. "This is going to put people in jail and keep people in jail who shouldn't be out on the street in the first place...... "It is well-balanced, it protects the Second Amendment," said Senate Republican leader Dean Skelos of Long Island. "And there is no confiscation of weapons. Ammunition magazines would be restricted to seven bullets, from the current 10, and current owners of higher-capacity magazines would have a year to sell them out of state. An owner caught at home with eight or more bullets in a magazine could face a misdemeanor charge.

Nope, seven bullets. I think we can all live with that. No honest man really needs more than 5 bull-its
If I can get my legalese right here: hope they put a stay. Or injunction. Or whatever prevents enforcement until the court case is resolved. Oh, and bury them.
