http:\/\/www.theblaze.com\/stories\/2013\/01\/14\/gun-laws-may-soon-be-even-tighter-in-new-york-get-the-details-on-states-tenative-gun-control-deal\/<\/a>. \u00a0\u00a0It\u2019s the most Draconian gun law \u2013 and more so, in some ways \u2013 since the handgun bans of Chicago and the District of Columbia, both of which stood for a very long time before being struck down as unconstitutional by the Supreme Court of the United States in Heller v. District of Columbia <\/i>in 2008 and McDonald, et. al. v. City of Chicago <\/i>in 2010.<\/p>\nThere are still details of the new legislation to be seen and analyzed. But, in the name of stamping out evil, high capacity, high-powered \u201cassault weapons\u201d this legislation will take away the great majority of semiautomatic pistols and rifles.\u00a0 It can in theory take away every .22 rifle except single shot models, since the tube magazine versions all hold more than ten of the stubby little .22 cartridges, and the box magazine types are all capable of taking a more-than-seven-round magazine.<\/p>\n
The old, retired GI\u2019s or Marine\u2019s 1911 .45 service pistol is now banned: they all accept commonly available eight-and ten-round mags, and longer ones that go back to World War I. More recent generations of American armed service personnel who bought the Beretta 92, the civilian version of the M9 service pistol they were trained on, are SOL; no less-than-ten-round magazine has ever been manufactured for that gun in its standard configuration, and they can all accept the longer ones.<\/p>\n
In an ironic highlight to the cluelessness that has so long driven the gun-banning movement, we have the picture here of vehemently anti-gun New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg holding one of the AR15s he and the Governor want to ban their constituents from owning. He apparently thinks it\u2019s the epitome of the super-lethal death-dealing assault weapon.<\/p>\n
Look carefully at the ejection port and compare it to the \u00a0Smith & Wesson M&P 15-22 pictured below.<\/p>\n
The rifle Bloomberg is holding has an ejection port far too short to handle a .223\/5.56mm rifle round, itself so weak that most states forbid its use for deer hunting. The Bloomberg AR15 appears to be chambered for .22 Long Rifle, a target-shooter\u2019s cartridge generally considered so feeble as to be inhumane for hunting anything much bigger than a squirrel, a rabbit, or a close-range groundhog.<\/p>\n

Click the link in the body of text above, and scroll down to the photo of Mayor Bloomberg holding what appears to be an AR15 rifle. \u00a0Carefully examine the ejection port on the right side of the rifle in his hands. \u00a0Now, compare to the .22 rimfire S&W M&P15-22, below. \u00a0Note the remarkable similarity. \u00a0Now, go to the picture under the one just below…<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.smith-wesson.com\/wcsstore\/SmWesson2\/upload\/images\/firearms\/zoom_lg\/811030_01_lg.jpg\")

…and here, note standard S&W M&P15 with proper ejection port and bolt for .223 caliber\/5.56mm. \u00a0It appears that Hizzoner’s exemplar of a deadly assault rifle is in fact chambered for the little .22 rimfire cartridge.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"http:\/\/www.smith-wesson.com\/wcsstore\/SmWesson2\/upload\/images\/firearms\/zoom_lg\/811036_01_lg.jpg\")

The SHOT Show, our largest firearms industry trade show, is underway today. Glock just announced their new 30S .45 caliber pistol. It combines the wide-body short frame of the Glock 30SF with the narrow slide of their model 36, in the same caliber.
