The Firing Line Forums - View Single Post - Colorado preparing to pass magazine ban. What would you buy now?

I don't need any magazines, I already own many, however, If I were so inclined, it would be a simple matter to acquire more. I am not saying how to do it as that would be a violation of TFL rules, so I'll just say it is a simple matter.

The bill specifically states that the burden of proof that you violated the ban lies solely on the government. If it becomes law, be sure not to own any mag that is stamped on or after July 1, 2013. (the effective date of the bill)

A copy/paste from the text of the bill below.

(2) (a) A PERSON MAY POSSESS A LARGE-CAPACITY MAGAZINE IF
HE OR SHE:
(I) OWNS THE LARGE-CAPACITY MAGAZINE ON THE EFFECTIVE
DATE OF THIS SECTION; AND
(II) MAINTAINS CONTINUOUS POSSESSION OF THE LARGE-CAPACITY
MAGAZINE.
(b) IF A PERSON WHO IS ALLEGED TO HAVE VIOLATED SUBSECTION
(1) OF THIS SECTION ASSERTS THAT HE OR SHE IS PERMITTED TO LEGALLY
POSSESS A LARGE-CAPACITY MAGAZINE PURSUANT TO PARAGRAPH (a) OF THIS SUBSECTION (2), THE PROSECUTION HAS THE BURDEN OF PROOF TO REFUTE THE ASSERTION.

I am no longer content to live in CO, even though I am a native, it will take me some time to move somewhere. Preperations, sell the property, find a job and such. I am certainly developing a plan to do so.
