The new law hadn't gone into affect when he was arrested.

If the mags he possessed were in fact pre ban mags then he was not breaking the law at all.


So why was he arrested? The cop was mistaken? If so, then the cop ought to be disciplined accordingly.

So day 1 that the law is in effect what are citizens to do with their weapons and mags? how do they dispose (as if many will)of the illegal goods?

sell them... illegal
drive them out of town to a family/friend... illegal
drive them to the post office and mail them...illegal
carry them to the trash dump...illegal
transport them to a police station....illegal
Call the cops and tell them to come pick them up at your house where they are in your posession...illegal


So secretly disposing of them in the trash where common criminals can gain access to them seems like the only way to avoid felony charges.



also what is stoping me from making a citizens arrest for felony charges on police officers with guns having more than 7 round mags?

Either the cop made a mistake or he didn't believe the mags were pre ban.

Either way this whole thing is stupid as hell. A guy who risked his life to protect the country and came home and helped wounded warriors get back on their feet now faces years of jail time because he had in his car the same thing that is sitting on my desk at home right now.
