The Supreme Court has refused to block Sunnyvale’s magazine ban, this comment caught my attention:
Rat_Bastard: In my humble gun nut opinion ten rounds is plenty, tape the magazines together and you have twenty rounds with if you’re proficient and actually use your weapon on the range regularly switching magazines is about two seconds, grabbing one that’s not taped takes about five seconds maximum. I’m not going to cry over this one because if I can’t take down what I am trying to take down in ten rounds I’m going to die anyway. I mean seriously even in a Zombie apocalypse ten rounds is enough and if a double up pair of magazines doesn’t work you’re zombie food anyway.

Guns and their magazines are as individual as movies, books, music, etc. I like handguns, my neighbor likes shotguns and his friend like tactical rifles. Who am I to tell him that his choice is wrong?
You say ten rounds is plenty? There’s an anti-gunner somewhere saying one round is too much. I like my 17-round Smith & Wesson not just for the fun of having more shooting with less reloading, but for the fact that the burglar could be wearing a bulletproof vest, or maybe there’s more than one burglar, or perhaps in a stressful situation I miss.
Rat Bastard needs to realize that when you give the anti-gunners an inch, they take a mile. I am a former smoker, I saw what the tobacco-haters did to my favorite vice, I see what they’re doing now to harmless e-cigarettes. I’m lucky that my Nicotine Lozenge is discrete, doesn’t require spitting like chewing tobacco does (never tried it by the way), and is favored by the Health Nazis. However, I still fight for smokers’ rights and gun rights and all rights because I know that collectivists never stop, they never rest, they’re always waiting for the next opportunity to strip away our rights.

Show me any criminal, even ONE, that will obey a 10-round limit. So why should we have that restriction?
We shouldn’t, but in liberal la la land, we’re the bad guys and the criminals are the good guys. We’re the ones that can’t be trusted while the criminals must be understood and excused. It’s how collectivism works, if a bad guy does something bad, it’s not his fault. It’s “the culture” or his upbringing or the color of his skin, anything and everything but the individual.
It’s also a feel good thing, part of the “do something culture”. It’s the same reason they created the TSA without reading the bill. “OMG, we’re so scared, we must do something.”
Well, perhaps the next time someone gets shot and the magazine has more than 10-rounds, we can use that as an excuse to repeal the law.
as long as there are mags more than 10 rds…the politicians can go fuck themselves….imho
I need just as many rounds in my magazines as LE and military need because I face the EXACT SAME THREATS they do except I’m always on my own for the first several minutes before LE can finish their doughnuts and mosey on over to my place following my call to 911.
