The thing about it is that New York cannot have a magazine that is capable of being readily restored to accept over ten rounds. I would assume that this new law would be no different, and would prohibit them from possessing a magazine that holds more than seven rounds. If they prohibit possession of ten round magazines, then all current magazines will have to be discarded or grandfathered if that is an option. The ten round magazines would still be capable of being restored to hold ten rounds if the ten round magazine was reduced to seven through a round limiter, and therefore they would still be illegal because they could be restored to hold ten rounds easily.
I doubt it because they could still be altered to hold more than seven rounds.
you people REALLY need to read the new law before speaking. you are spreading INCORRECT information.
for quite some time now all mags capable of more than 10 rounds were completely banned. this means all mags possessed by citizens in NY can only functionally hold 10 rounds or less, and cannot be easily modified to accept more than 10.
the law states all of these mags can be kept, and DO NOT NEED TO BE MODIFIED!!! the law states that any mag capable of holding more than 7 rounds simply cannot be loaded with more than 7 rounds.
this means: 10 round mag, 7 rounds in the mag, 1 round in the chamber: is completely legal.
there is nothing within the law stating owners of 10 round mags must get rid of the mags somehow. it simply states that you may not load more than 7 rounds into the mag, and no NEW mags may be sold within NYS that are capable of accepting more than 7 rounds
I am not defending the law by any means, I hate it and pray it gets abolished asap. I am simply stopping the spread of misinformation. if anyone else wants to speak of the law, READ IT FIRST SO YOU KNOW WHAT IT ACTUALLY SAYS
