Oregon Sheriffs Association Says FBI Position Makes It Impossible To Legally Buy Guns
Apparently even if your magazine doesn't hold 10 rounds... but is able to be modified to hold more than 10 rounds... its still a problem.The OSSA guidance also points out to sheriffs that virtually all firearm magazines, not just those identified as large capacity magazines (LCMs), will be outlawed by the measure.
“For all magazines that have a detachable base-plate, the reality is that the magazine appears to fit the definition of an LCM because they are readily capable of being adapted to hold more than 10 rounds,” Mr. Dickens wrote.
“It would appear that even drilling and riveting a base-plate to the magazine in order to more permanently attach it would not take it out of the definition of LCM, since a rivet can easily be removed and thus the magazine could again be capable in the future of holding more than 10 rounds.”
Anyone who currently owns an LCM would be committing a crime and could be arrested if the measure is upheld, the guidance continued.
