10rd Magazines, Law of the Land.

[USMCM16A2]

Folks,



How would you feel if 10 round magazines became the rule? For everyone in the US, good thing? Bad thing?. I enjoy my AR15 NM/A2 rifles with 10rd magazines. Is the "standard capacity magazine" protected by the 2A ?. The shooting has cause me to pause and think, does anyone really need a 100rd Beta C magazine?.
I understand the reasons that people might offer to say they "need" them. I wholly and absolutely DO NOT want the AR/AK platforms to be banned, removed or otherwise taken away from the Citizens, but does anyone need that kind of firepower for recreational, or sport shooting?. All replies are welcome, I can dish it, I can take, flame suit is on. A2

I personally could care less if all I was able to purchase were 10 rounders. It would save me a fortune in ammo when I plink. In saying that, I disagree with a general ban on magazines above 10 rounds.

if you want to ban 30 rnd mags you should ban all guns. why can person a's opinion overrule person b's opinion in any way for a right they both deem desirable? IMO shall not be infringed interprets to no restriction, no prior restriant. and ive yet to come by a study regarding mag capacity and violent crime rates

I seriously don't see a legitimate reason for owning a 100rd drum. In my opinion, it's purely for recreational purposes. I don't own any and I don't think I ever will. It just brings unwanted attention. I think 30rd is more than enough. But, we the people should have the option. I can't speak for everyone. I will be truly sad when what you speak of happens. I would like to preserve our 2A rights as much as possible, not give them up.

I think that USMCM16A2's account has been hacked.

I responded to someone in another thread about this same issue. I don't think anyone on the streets today 'Needs" a 100 round magazine. But who am I to tell anyone? Who is our government to be making this decision? Do you think we 'need' 50 round magazines? What about 30 round magazines? It seems like you feel no.

How do you reach the decision that 10 rounds is ideal? Wouldn't 5 round magazines be just as good? I think it is arbitrary, and to take our rights away arbitrarily is scary.

I don't like yellow cars, they need to be banned!

[Albino]

So who determines "need"???

You? (OP) The Government? A talk show host?



People keep getting sucked into this "need" crap, that the leftists dish out...


When they ban it to 10 rounds, then it will go to, "why do you need 10... what's wrong with 5"?



Don't people get the fact that liberals will keep going until they ban
slingshots and rocks???



They don't care about hunting either... It will then turn into, "you don't need an 8mm Mauser to hunt deer with..."




Who decides when it stops???

That has to be our focus. Give up this and it will be something else.

totally pointless

The primary purpose put forward by anti-gunners for a ban on magazines greater than 10 round capacity, is to inhibit the ability of mass murderers who use guns. Well the theory doesn't work.

The reality is 1999 Columbine. Where a Hi-Point 9mm carbine, and a supply of 10 round magazines was more than sufficient to slaughter the victims.

Armed vs unarmed people is all it takes for a massacre. Not 20 round or 30 or 100 or whatever sized magazines!

[hornswaggled]

I have the same conflict honestly. The need for 100 drum magazines (although they clearly suck) is a difficult stance to defend. But the issue is the slippery slope concept of will gun control advocates stop there if magazines are legally capped at 10 rounds. The answer is of course no. Can one bargain with the devil, or get a little bit pregnant? I don't know, but perhaps being completely rigid ala GOA might not earn us as many friends among the fence riders. Would banning drum magazines be an acceptable sacrifice to improve the NRA's image in mainstream media, or is that just a pipe dream?

It may just become the law of the land...

The shooter's 100 round drum is said to have JAMMED during the incident.

If he had a bunch of 10 rounders instead - it's possible MORE people would have died.

[Lone_Gunman]

Why is the response to tragedy to immediately try to ban something? The problem with these ban happy liberals is that they cannot come to terms with the fact that people die. People are fragile beings and sometimes the die before they are old and ready to go.
They are afraid of their own mortality, and they want to live in a world that can never exist. They pass laws on every subject imaginable from the food you eat to the bed you sleep in, because they cannont come to terms with the fact that the universe is unpredictable. I sincerely think that the most outspoken of them have a problem accepting reality.

Now, to answer your question, I WANT 30 round magazines. I didn't F-ing kill anyone so leave me the F alone.
