92. No.

Mar 2013

The mag. limit is included in Feinstein's AWB which is headed towards a spectacular defeat in the senate.

http://www.usnews.com/news/articles/2013/03/14/gun-ban-passes-senate-judiciary-committee

The bill sponsored by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., would ban 150 specifically named military-style weapons, rifles and handguns. It also prohibits the sale of semi-automatic guns that have detachable magazines over 10 rounds, and military-assault weapons that have flash suppressors or pistol grips




There are, so far, 5 Dem senators and 1 Ind. senator who have voiced opposition to the AWB, Harry Reid will probably vote no also and Susan Collins, who voted yes to renewal in 2004, has said she won't support it this time around.

Now the assault weapons ban will have its day on the Senate floor where not only Republicans, but moderate Democrats from conservative-leaning states as well, are poised to vote against the measure.
It's already DOA in the full senate. premium Mar 2013 #1
