“Anti-gun Democrats in New York, California, Connecticut, Maryland, and other ban-happy states have given violent criminals a distinct advantage by passing magazine limit laws that law-abiding citizens will comply with, and which violent criminals such as these will ignore.”

“These legislators are giving criminals the advantage. They do not have your best interests at heart, and only encourage this kind of crime to become more prevalent.”
