Question?

Pvt. Snuffy is driving home from a national guard drill weekend.

He has his web gear because he's taking it home to clean.

In that web gear is his full battle load of 6 30 round magazines.

Does he get arrested for illegal possession when he gets pulled over for speeding? I hope so, after all, we're a nation of laws, not men. That arrest, moreover, means that he is no longer eligible to be in the military as he has committed a firearm crime, and his continued presence in the military would be a violation of the Lautenberg act. Ah well, $200,000 + down the bunny hole in search of political correctness.

Can we immediately arrest EVERY police officer in those states for possession of an illegal magazine? There are no exemptions in NY for police, can't imagine any other law reads differently as they were mainly pushed by the same people.
But he has to have that equipment because he is a National Guardsman. But if he is a gang banger on the south side of Chicago with those six 30-round magazines, then yes, arrest him for illegal possession. And go after whoever he got the magazines from. But the National Guardsman has a responsibility to possess the appropriate equipment issued to him. I think you should only bust the Guardsman if he lets those magazines get into the wrong hands.
