Is he for restrictions or against? I can't figure it out. Send him an inquiry & see if you get the same answer. Notice how he has no problem with "owning guns." To me, it says that the antis are going to focus on ammo and accessory (like magazine) restrictions. Look for scopes to be next on banned list.

Kohl's reply to me:
"Dear Mr. XXX:
Thank you for sharing your thoughts with me about high capacity magazines. I appreciate hearing from you.
On February 17, 2011, the Senate passed S. 223, the FAA Air Transportation Modernization and Safety Improvement Act by a vote of 87 to 8. This bill, which would strengthen the aviation industry and modernize our air traffic control system, did not include an amendment banning the sale of high capacity magazines.
In 1994, Congress prohibited high-capacity magazines as part of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban. The ban expired in 2004. While lawmakers have pushed to renew the ban several times since, they are doubling their efforts to ban high-capacity magazines in light of the recent tragedy in Tucson. Jared Loughner used a high-capacity 30-round magazine in the Tucson shooting, which allowed him to fire 30 bullets without having to manually reload.
Representative Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY), a longtime vocal advocate for gun control issues, introduced H.R. 308, the Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device Act on January 18, 2011. This bill would prohibit the transfer, possession, or import of large capacity ammunition feeding devices (defined as those carrying more than 10 rounds at a time) that are manufactured after the bill is enacted. It would also prohibit the transfer of the devices that were manufactured before the bill is enacted. This bill would exempt law enforcement officers, both active and retired. H.R. 308 has been referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.
Senator Frank Lautenberg (D-NJ) introduced an identical measure, S.32, on January 25, 2011. S. 32 was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee, of which I am a member. I will keep your thoughts in mind should the Senate vote on either of these two bills.
I believe that the right of law abiding Americans to own guns should be protected. In the past, the Senate has considered a variety of gun safety measures. I carefully evaluate each proposal, and I only support gun control legislation that adheres to two important principles: First, I do not believe we should place unnecessary burdens on law-abiding citizens' Second Amendment right to lawfully acquire, possess, or use firearms for hunting, trapshooting, target shooting or any other lawful activity. Second, I only support proposals that I believe will unquestionably make our communities safer.
Again, thank you for contacting me and please do not hesitate to do so in the future."
