If you compromise on this it's over for good. FOREVER. So many people here are this: "I want to buy a 30 rounder tomorrow without worrying about it".
My position: I can wait for a year or two and work towards getting the whole damn thing eradicated. HAVE PATIENCE.
You talk about incrimentalism and what you are actually talking about is letting the liberals succeed at incrimentalism. You actually think they are giving you something by letting you have 30 rounders, which will stick - forever.
You know what anti-firearm types have over us: PATIENCE. They grandfather weapons - or magazines and wait for the generation to die off. You won't resist. If they see the writing on the wall and know they can't keep legislation (at all), they'll gladly move to get you to agree to a slightly-less-bad form of it. At your cost.
Again: you will never repeal a 30 round ban. Fight for your right to own something don't be "satisfied" with them eliminating your freedoms even if you don't intend to use them. If your mindset is "Oh, I don't own any guns that have a capacity over 30 so that works for me" - you are no better than the Fudds happy to see AR's banned, or pet owners happy to see other pets banned, etc.
For the same reason that some people are ecstatic about a compromise here "Oh, I don't own any guns that have a capacity over 30 so that works for me" is the same reason a 30 round ban will never get repealed. When you combine that with media assaults .... "Colorado is trying to legalize 100 round baby killer magazines and belt fed machineguns to kill children in schools". Don't fool yourself. 0.0000% chance.
Grow a pair people.
