New York To Ditch Seven-Round Mag Cap Limit

Staring down the proverbial barrel of a voter backlash and civil disobedience on an epic scale, New York legislators are looking at walking back the seven-round ammunition capacity limit contained within the ironically-named SAFE Act. “Assembly Speaker Sheldon Silver says that’s one of several, mostly ‘technical’ changes to the nation’s toughest gun control measure rushed into law in January one month after the Newtown, Conn., shooting,” the AP reports. “Silver says the leaders are considering the change because seven-bullet magazines aren’t manufactured. The standard is 10-bullet magazines. Silver calls it one of the ‘inconsistencies’ in the law that need to be fixed.” So that’s what you call it when Democrats and mealy-mouthed Republicans wipe their feet on the United States Constitution. Anyway, winning?

Short synopsis of Obama’s speechifying in Ramallah:

Palestine deserves a state of their own, Israel hasn’t been very helpful to Palestinians, Ramallah is a place of promise, unlike Gaza which is a place of terror. Which reminded Obama to point out once again what a deeply flawed country America was before he arrived on scene to end racism:

“Whenever I meet these young people, whether they’re Israeli or Palestinian, I think of my young daughters,’ he said during a joint press conference with Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.

‘Those of us in the United States understand that change takes time, but change is possible. There was a time when my daughters did not have the same opportunities as somebody else’s daughters.”

And as we all recall, protestors were lobbing rockets into Selma, Alabama to secure their rights to a separate state too.
