Now handguns are considered "assault weapons" because of their magazine capacity

[2aguy]

This is why we do not trust anti gunners.........we are told they just want to ban "assault weapons" and of course the uninformed think black rifles........but no...the anti gun bait and switch happens and in Michigan...handguns with a magazine of more than 10 rounds are now in the category of "assault weapon." This is why we can't trust them...they want all the guns and they will bait and switch to get them......

Here isn't more detail from the press....

Bill to ban assault weapons proposed by Michigan Democrats

The bill would also make it illegal to posses at the same time a semiautomatic or pump-action rifle, or a semiautomatic pistol capable of accepting a detachable magazine, and a magazine capable of use with that firearm that contains more than 10 ammo rounds.

They want to punish gun owners...for simply owning a rifle that they have never used to commit a crime....it would be a felony...a felony...which would destroy the life of a normal, law abiding gun owner....

A person in violation of the proposed legislation would be guilty of a felony punishable by up to 4 years in prison, a $2,100 fine, or both.

Kalamazoo resident Mike Warren, 33, a member of the Michigan Gun Rights group, said he opposes the bill targeting assault weapons, partly because he believes it would impact law-abiding gun owners more than criminals.

"It's like a solution looking for a problem," Warren said. "We don't have a problem with people killing people with rifles."
