Ahead of the Upcoming VA Assault Weapons Ban, I Think I’ve Everything I Immediately Need

I mainly focused on obtaining magazines. I now have an adequate (barely) number of magazines for my 2011s and AR15.

I don’t have many for the Kuna, but I plan to buy a Nexus lower for it, so that I can use my CZ Scorpion mags (I’ve a ton of those).

I don’t need anything else. I’d have preferred to have had the time to buy a few more PCCs, but VA has run out of time for that. PCCs, AKs, and ARs will have to wait until we move out of VA (that’ll occur within the next 2-3 years).

Most VA folks are also focusing on SBRs and suppressors, but none of the upcoming new laws have anything to do with NFA items. I have no real need for SBRs or suppressors, and I’m not wanting to even jump through the hoops of obtaining either one of those parts.

As many firearms-associated companies appear to be telling Virginians that they’re no longer going to ship merchandise to VA, I’m not even sure how that will affect obtaining wear items such as firing pins, magazine internals, and recoil springs. I’ve many guns, so I’m not going to be stocking up on spare gun parts for all of them. I’ll just have to find companies that are willing to sell/ship to VA citizens.

For those of you that live in VA, please consider donating to the Virginia Citizens Defense League (VCDL), Firearms Policy Coalition (FPC) and the Gun Onwers of America (GOA). Those three organizations have been doing good work for Virginia citizens and it takes money to help them help us.

2A 2nd Amendment California high capacity judge magazine ban Roger Benitez

Judge Blocks ‘High Capacity’ Controversial and Upcoming California Mag Ban

Judge Blocks ‘High Capacity’ Mag Ban to Prevent Criminalization of Law-Abiding Californians

 

On June 29 — two days before California’s “high capacity” magazine ban was set to take effect — U.S. District Judge Roger Benitez blocked the ban to prevent “otherwise law-abiding” citizens from being criminalized.

Benitez ruled that the ban takes away Second Amendment rights “and amounts to the government taking people’s private property without compensation.”

Freilich did not address the fact that the high-profile shooting in Santa Barbara — May 23, 2014 — was carried out with “standard” magazines of 10 rounds.

I’m glad there’s at least one non-corrupt judge in CA doing his appointed duty.  I’m still trying to determine why it’s bad to have more than 10 rounds in a magazine.  Even if criminals obeyed this law (they won’t), it’s trivial to remove an empty 10-round magazine from a handgun and replace it with another 10-round magazine.  It can be done very quickly.  But that’s IF a criminal decided to use 10-round mags.  It’s stupid…if a guy is willing to rob a bank, what makes you think that he’s going to follow a magazine limit law?  “Oh, I have to go out and buy 10 round mags before I rob this bank…can’t use 15-round mags…that’s against the law…derp.”

I’ll be watching how this one plays out.
