NRA slams Democrat-led bill that would restrict magazine capacity: 'Blatantly violates' US Constitution
Fox News
The National Rifle Association on Thursday criticized a Democrat-led bill restricting magazine capacity and certain firearms, alleging violations of constitutional rights.
"This bill unjustly and improperly places the full burden of the law on law-abiding residents, while doing nothing to take guns out of the hands of dangerous criminals. The NRA opposes this legislation and will fight to protect the constitutional freedoms of all law-abiding Americans," he said. Jamie Joseph is a writer who covers politics.

Sens. Martin Heinrich, D-N.M., and Angus King, I-Maine, introduced the Gas-Operated Semi-Automatic Firearms Exclusion (GOSAFE) Act a month after a gunman opened fire in Lewiston, Maine, and killed nearly 20 people.
