NEED FOR HIGH CAPACITY MAGAZINES?

[BlasterBob]

Yep, this is just one more thread with my thoughts about the stupidity of banning high capacity magazines. Yesterday, we heard on TV (not by our choice) old Feinstein, the Kalifornia dingbat, stress the need to get rid of all high capacity magazines because she feels that they are made strictly for killing people....... She is seriously convinced that absolutely no one but military and police have need for such items that may possibly cause huge numbers of deaths of innocent people if allowed in the hands of the regular gun owners. Like, why wouldn't a magazine with a capacity of 5 or maybe even up to the dangerous number of 10 rounds be more than sufficient....

To me, this is like forcing the automobile industry to equip ALL new vehicles with fuel tanks that can contain no more than 4 or 5 gallons of fuel. If you have more fuel and get into a wreck, more fuel COULD possibly cause a much larger fire and more risk of death for the vehicle occupants. Of course, this would require having to stop for fuel much much more often. And, more frequent stops at fuel stations could expose us more often to a possible robbery in progress at one of those fuel stations. Of course, our illustrious politicians probably believe this should only be of a little inconvenience for us the people but it would provide much more safety for us, the vehicle occupants..........

When we are target shooting or just plinking, we'd simply rather not have to refill the mag after only 5 shots or 10 shots so we want a much larger capacity to merely save time and effort.

Finally, the next bright idea that some "do gooder" politician may come up with, that would really go over like the old lead balloon, is why not just manufacture vehicles with a device/governor to make sure they are never capable of exceeding our speed limit which could cut way down on highway traffic deaths. More government control!!

Hope the above rant does not make me appear to be a damn nut case...

Politicians have to justify their existence through new legislation. They need to look busy, in such that they merit their lifetime healthcare on the taxpayers dime, paid frequent vacations, high salaries for sitting around bickering with each other, etc.

New "hi-cap" magazine bans are a timely topic. If there's an oil spill next week, it will be new safety regulations on drilling or tankers. It's always going to be something.

I agree 110%, not only does it make no sense to enact mag cap restrictions but I love how no one has talked about the competitive shooting sports, oh but I forgot competitive shooting isn't a real sport right because it invloves guns and guns are bad.

Yeah, the D.C. dingbats are convinced that guns are ONLY to be used for HUNTING, not self protection or target shooting/plinking.

I have seen one hell of a lot of changes in our great Country in my 75 1/2 years and most have been good changes until about 20 or 30 years ago. Far too many work ethics have gone down the toilet. Now, if I phone a business of almost any type, it will ring and ring and ring and then if it is answered at all, I seldom get a live person, just a machine and normally do NOT get a call returned as requested. When I was in the work force (20 some years ago), our phones had better be picked up/answered (with a healthy dose of courtesy/diplomacy) before it had a chance to ring the fourth ring. Now the machines will systematically help weed out the calls that someone does not want to accept. Hate to say it but you much younger guys have some really shitty times ahead of you.

OK, I'm done ranting for this day, I'll be much better tomorrow.

Where the hell did this idea of hunting only come up with guns? Honestly in a constitutional sense the government has more of a right to ban hunting on public lands than military style weapons. The 2A is about the ability to fight toe to toe with your government, not being able to keep your bubba rifle. Though that is protected as well!

Guns are made for killing, nothing else.

I agree completely! Thankfully, in that regard, my old man is a product of those days and we have only a voicemail service here- you call, we pickup- if we're open. We have no way to weed out crap customers (yeah I said it) and, the bane of my existence: sales/fundraising calls!

If anyone honestly believes that the second amendment protects the rights of hunters, politely tell them to chug an entire bottle of drain cleaner.

I just happened to look up PMAGs and the shop RedDotScopes will not ship mags with more than 21 round capacity to City and County of Denver. Is there some restriction on those in Denver?

I like crap customers, we charge them more.
