Ladies' Home Journal is an American magazine published by the Meredith Corporation. It was first published on February 16, 1883 and eventually became one of the leading women's magazines of the 20th century in the United States.

Saturday Review, previously The Saturday Review of Literature, was an weekly magazine established in 1924. At its peak, it was influential as the base of several widely read critics (Wilder Hobson, music critic Irving Kolodin, and theater critics John Mason Brown and Henry Hewes). It was never very profitable and eventually succumbed to the decline of general-interest magazines after restructuring and trying to reinvent itself more than once during the 1970s and 1980s.

Magazines for Engaging Young Readers
Love of reading typically emerges from humble beginnings. No one reads War and Peace at 3 years old. Magazines allow reluctant readers to enjoy the wonders of the written word without feeling intimated. Titles like Ranger Rick, Kids, Lego Club Jr., Click, or Sparkle World fill in where chapter books might intimidate a young reader. After that, there is no shame in Tiger Beat. It is a gateway to the classics like People and OK! (and War and Peace).

Large capacity ammunition magazines are a common thread in many high-profile mass shootings in the United States. Because shooters with such magazines can fire at large numbers of people without taking the time to reload, those in the line of fire do not have a chance to escape, law enforcement does not have the chance to intervene, and the number of lives shattered by acts of gun violence increases dramatically.
While large capacity magazines are typically associated with semi-automatic assault weapons or machine guns, such devices can be used with any semi-automatic firearm that accepts a detachable magazine, including handguns.
The time a shooter takes to reload his weapon can be critical in enabling victims to escape and law enforcement or others to intervene. When shooters have high capacity magazines, more bullets can be fired before this crucial time period for escape or other intervention.
In addition to their role in mass shootings, firearms equipped with large capacity magazines significantly contribute to crime across the country. Alarmingly, data suggests that the use of firearms with large capacity magazines in crime has substantially increased since the expiration of the federal assault weapons and large capacity magazine ban in 2004.
A growing body of research shows that banning high-capacity magazines can help to prevent gun violence. In particular, studies have found that the federal ban on large capacity magazines helped to prevent violence and the use of high-capacity magazines in crime during the 10 years in which it was in effect.
Despite these limitations, evidence indicates that the federal ban worked to reduce the use of large capacity magazines in crime. A Washington Post study analyzed data kept by the Virginia State Police and found a clear decline in the percentage of crime guns that were equipped with large capacity ammunition magazines after the federal ban was enacted.15 The percentage reached a low of 10% in 2004 and then steadily climbed after Congress allowed the ban to expire; by 2010, the percentage was close to 22%.16
Similarly, since the end of the federal ban, the Los Angeles Police Department has recovered significantly greater numbers of large capacity ammunition magazines, from 38 in 2003 to anywhere from 151 to 940 each year between 2004 and 2010.17
Fourteen states and the District of Columbia have enacted laws that generally ban the sale, manufacture, and other commerce or conduct with large capacity ammunition magazines. Those states are: California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington. Four of these states (DE, RI, OR, and WA) enacted these laws in 2022 and Illinois did so in January 2023. A majority of these jurisdictions also strongly regulate the sale and manufacture of assault weapons, which are commonly equipped with large-capacity magazines.
California, Hawaii, New Jersey, and New York have the most comprehensive prohibitions, banning possession, manufacture, and transfer (including sale) of large capacity magazines.35 New Jersey allows possession of large capacity magazines by a person who has registered a legacy assault weapon and uses the magazine in connection with competitive shooting matches sanctioned by the Director of Civilian Marksmanship of the US Department of the Army.36
Other states ban various combinations of activities related to large capacity magazines. For instance, Colorado, Massachusetts, and the District of Columbia ban possession and transfer; Maryland bans manufacture and transfer; and Connecticut bans distribution, importation, purchase, transfer, and possession.
State laws that ban the possession of large capacity ammunition magazines vary in their approach to large capacity magazines already in the possession of private individuals at the time a ban was adopted.
California,37 Delaware,38 the District of Columbia, Hawaii,39 New Jersey, New York, and Rhode Island generally do not allow for continued possession of legacy large capacity magazines that were obtained before these states enacted bans on those magazines. As a result, these jurisdictions effectively required any large capacity magazine owned at the time the ban was enacted to be converted to a more limited capacity magazine, destroyed, or transferred to a dealer, law enforcement, or out of state.
Colorado, Illinois, Massachusetts, Oregon, and Vermont all exempt possession of legacy large capacity magazines that were lawfully owned before the state enacted its LCM law.40 Oregon and Illinois provided clear limitations on the public use and carrying of these legacy magazines, however, generally requiring that legacy LCMs be carried and possessed only on private property or in specified locations such as licensed shooting ranges.
