Fixed Magazines - Compromise? [View all]

California law requires that so-called "semiautomatic, centerfire rifle" must have a fixed magazine i.e. non-detachable magazine with a capacity no greater than ten rounds. I would be willing to accept an assault weapons reform legislation deal that allowed the continued sale of such weapons so long as all over-the-counter sales required this reform and all "private" transfers of such weapons required modification such that if you buy one you have to make the change. I think such a measure would go a long way in reducing the practical lethality of such weapons.

Would such a compromise approach be acceptable to you?
