Did BATFE just make it illegal to mfg mags over 10 rounds?

On a Saturday? You overestimate bureaucrats' work ethic.

Maybe but If I remember an important bill was ran through on thanksgiving and NYears day NDAA or something like that. I'd have to check details as my memory ain't whut it wus 60 yrs ago.
I won't underestimate the cunning and back stabbing politicians at all. They should be under constant surveilance

BATF cannot pass laws, although sometimes they reinterpret them. Laws can only be passed by congress, it will have a bill number, be voted on, and be all over the net with information you can check out yourself on actual legislation pages. Anything like this is fabrication or wishful thinking on a sellers part. Next time someone tries to pull the wool over your eyes, ask them what is the bill number? Was it introduced in the house or senate?

Like the bill that was voted on and passed that requires border state gun shops to record and report multiple gun purchases?

Oh wait...there wasn't any bill.

First heard on Friday from a person who was laid off from a company that made parts for AR magazines. Cannot find good corroborative sources on the net, thought someone might have heard something.

Oh, not a new law. Federal agencies can make rulings, create guidelines, create regulations that interpret current legislation.

Just do not know that this is fact or fiction. Sounded a bit "hokey" so wanted to run it through a few filters. Nothing on NRA.ORG.

Nobody works on Saturdays in the Federal Government.

Man, somebody owes me a lot of paid leave from all those Saturdays I worked while I was in the Army.

I was in a gun shop last Tuesday in Lafayette and the jokers behind the counter were trying to spread the same rumor... buy a pistol today because it'll be banned as of Jan 1st and if you have your paperwork mailed in by then you can get your ltch before that also gets taken away on the 1st... idiots. I won't be doing business there again.

Hmm... Haley's?

Be cautious of anyone trying to persuade you with these types of rumors. They are merely attmepting to take advantage of the "frenzy". Sounds like just another rumor.

 

[BehindBlueI's]

Are we going to be flooded by stupid rumors spread by dealers like in 1989?

Haven't we been flooded by stupid rumors since Obama got elected the first go round? The pace has just picked up a bit lately.

 

[HeadlessRoland]

To anyone who thinks that executive agencies don't 'make' law, you should look up the Code of Federal Regulations.

 

[KokomoDave]

Here is the actual ban:

Bunch of jokers better do better research!

Hmm... Haley's?

This time it was 4 Guns, surprised me they got cought up in the panic buying.

A good rule of thumb in life is that when you hear information from a neutral source (someone you just met or don't know well) and the information can result in behavior by you that benefits them, financially, put all decisions on hold. Even if they are in a position of authority or seemingly an expert in their field. Leave and do your research, confirm or disprove. And especially do this when you are doing dealing with someone with more expertise than you...mechanic, gun dealer, doctor (second opinion), plumber, etc. In the age of the internet, there's no excuse for a person not doing incredibly competent due diligence which is exactly what you are doing right now...kudos.

 

[hoosierdoc]

Congress can pass laws with blanks that the cabinet and agencies fill in later. Fee after fee is coming out of ObamaCare that we had no idea about. Reg after reg after compliance hurdle...
