I read question wrong. I was thinking no guns either. I would say the slaughter of the Indians on many occasions. So Winchester?

Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., and Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., with the backing of gun control groups, are drafting a bill that would ban the sale of high-capacity magazines such as the one that was used allegedly Saturday by Jared Lee Loughner, the man accused of murdering federal Judge John Roll and trying to assassinate Rep. Gabrielle Giffords, D-Ariz., according to two gun control activists working with McCarthy's staff.
Gun control proponents are hoping to move rapidly on the measure in the wake of reports that Loughner's access to high-capacity, 33-round magazines substantially increased the lethality of his attack, the activists said. An Arizona law enforcement official confirmed to NBC News on Monday that Loughner had actually gotten off at least 31 shots during the Saturday shooting, not the 20 that were first reported. He was emptying his first high-capacity magazine and was trying to reload with another high-capacity magazine (with another 30 rounds) when he was wrestled to the ground, the official said.
"In the wake of these kind of incidents, the trick is to move quickly," said Kristen Rand, legislative director of the Violence Policy Center, one of the gun control groups working with McCarthy's office.
McCarthy, one of the House's strongest gun control proponents, whose husband was killed in a mass shooting on the Long Island Railroad in 1993, confirmed Sunday that she was drafting a new bill in the aftermath of Tuscon .an aide said her office was consulting with other members, including House Speaker John Boehner's office, and that she hoped to have draft language as early as this week. A Lautenberg aide said Lautenberg was working on a similar version in the Senate.
"The only reason to have 33 bullets loaded in a handgun is to kill a lot of people very quickly. These high-capacity clips simply should not be on the market," Lautenberg said. "Before 2004, these ammunition clips were banned, and they must be banned again. When the Senate returns to Washington, I will introduce legislation to prohibit this type of high-capacity clip."
Lautenberg was referring to an issue that has been highlighted in recent days by senior federal law enforcement officials: the manufacture of the kind of high-capacity magazines the suspect had with him at the Tucson shopping mall was barred under a federal assault weapons ban that was passed by Congress and signed by President Bill Clinton in 1994.

I can hear their knees jerking from here.
I would laugh heartily if they banned "high capacity clips" (using that exact phrasing in the bill) and high-cap magazines weren't affected.
But luckily the House would never let that through (well, hopefully).
And hopefully Obama knows that most Americans won't be down for that and realize that he has better things to do.
And what the hell is a "high capacity" magazines. Seems to me that magazines are magazines, and if anything the mandated 10-round magazines are "low capacity".
Idiots.

I love how they admit that the trick is to move quickly. In other words, let's pass some otherwise trash legislation while people are emotional and not thinking clearly because if people cool off and begin to think rationally, there's no way this crap would pass.
Great the price of magazines is going to go up... frack, the faster they fry that SOB the happier I will be.
Yep. This was all the fault of the 33 rnd Glock mag. Oh, and the shoulder thing that goes up.
they wernt banned in 94 the production of new hi cap mags to non LEO and importation of hi caps were banned, they were still legal to buy and carry
