How to Defend High Capacity Magazines Without Looking Like An Insensitive Moron.

[dwalker460]

IMPORTANT: We have to STOP calling them "high-capacity magazines". So long as we allow the antis to call them "high-capacity magazines", we have lost. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow. But we WILL lose.

Anything up to 30 rounds, i.e. the magazine that is normally used with the weapon, is STANDARD CAPACITY.

15 in a Glock 19? Standard capacity.
30 in an AR-15? Standard capacity.
13 in a Browning Hi-Power (a design almost 100 years old)

Etc.

In contrast, a magazine that has an artificially-reduced capacity should be referred to as such.

Being fair, a magazine which is not the standard capacity for a weapon could be referred to as high-capacity. Drum magazines, the 60- and 100-round surefires, etc. We should still support their legalization for all the reasons already mentioned, but those are the high-capacity magazines. Not the 30-rounds for ARs and AKs.

Side note: I think it's funny that the liberals who are lining up to tackle the gunman as soon as he hits his mythical 10-round reload are the same ones saying that an armed citizen (e.g. CC permit holder) has no chance against a raging maniac.

I already covered this-

"Why do you need high cap magazines?"

A: I am not really a very good shot, so I need as many chances as I can get. Kinda like those extra lives in vidia games.
A: High cap magazines are actually standard capacity magazines, I cannot afford high cap magazines so I just buy the standard ones.
