PBR, If I am not mistaken, the rifle pictured above is one of the first run Mini's is it not? I have not seen one for sometime that doesn't come with the metal heat shield, yours appears to be wood. I believe those are early 80's are they not? If so, you have one of the better ones.

I don't understand the "capable of a mag of more than 10 rounds" part.....seems to me that bans any gun with a detachable magazine, since someone is capable of making a magazine for it that holds more than 10 rounds. Glock has those impractical 30 round mags. You can buy 12 round mags for a 1911, so wouldn't that be banned too?
I've wondered about that too. Is the bill intentionally being written with that language so that lawmakers who vote, but barely read the bill, will believe it's just a high capacity magazine ban? And later, after becomes law, those who wrote it can say, "oh no, it means exactly what it says" meaning all pistols with a detachable magazine are effectively banned. Those who were duped, or were either too lazy to read it and understand its meaning, or just plain ignorant of firearms, or ill informed by their staff, would be helpless to repeal it. Just wondering :confused5
It'd probably technically ban revolvers with removable cylinders as well.
