Schumer-Lautenberg Magazine Ban Update
- It places on gun owners the burden of proof that standard magazines with capacities > 10 rounds were manufactured pre-ban.
- It specifically precludes loaning or sharing of pre-ban standard capacity magazines.
- It provides for fines and up to 10 years in prison for violations: twice the sentence time specified by the Clinton ban.

DELIVER THIS MESSAGE
To NC Senator Burr:
Dear Senator Burr,
As a North Carolina gun owner I am outraged and insulted by the proposal to limit access of law-abiding citizens to only reduced-capacity magazines for modern defensive firearms.
This law, submitted as S.A. 2575 to the “Cybersecurity Act” that you sponsored, makes it clear that some US Senators believe that law-abiding North Carolinians should only be trusted to defend themselves and families with obsolete weapons.
As your constituent I want you to understand that failure to pass the “Cybersecurity Act” would be better than passing it with a clearly anti-freedom amendment.
Sincerely,
To NC Senator Hagan:

In the past you have claimed to support gun rights. Your actions, however, have often been inconsistent with this stated position. For example, your lack of signing the pledge to not support ratification of the UN Small Arms Treaty was particularly troubling.
The anti-gun amendment currently at issue provides you with an opportunity to clearly demonstrate by your actions that you support the Second Amendment. Your action on this issue will be remembered during your next election.
Sincerely,
