Reply to comment by glennjersey in Non-Political RI Gun Law Question by provendumb

Who's taking it? He still has it. My car can go over 100 mph, am I legally being deprived of it because I can't go that fast? Get a 10 rounder and go on with your life.

That's the point. He can't get a 10 rounder.

Not every firearm has 10 round mags available.

Further - without the magazine the firearm is operable useless. Many of them won't even fire without a magazine inserted (as a safety feature). So your car analogy is more apt if you said someone was taking the gas tank out of your car. Sure they're not taking your car, but they're rendering it pretty useless, no?

OP has not said, other than;

>I cannot order a 10 or less capacity magazine for this firearm as they are not made

One of the young senators made mention of a similar situation during the joke that was the hearings before they passed the law. This is not going to be an uncommon occurrence.

But you won't say what kind because you'll get 50 links showing how easy compliance with the law is

Yes you are. Because in your scenario your engine is capable of pushing your (over $10,000?) car over the speed limit. And having it in your car in your possession would make you a felon.

You could just get rid of the engine of course. Isn’t that free? Sure it is. But the cost to replace the engine? And if you can’t the cost to replace the car? That’s taking.
