Every few weeks we get an anti gun poster who whines about normal capacity magazines which are normally 15-17 rounds for modern defensive handguns and 20-30 rounds for "Military" or militia style rifles. These antis claim that say 10 rounds are OK but 15 are not.
Other than the obvious fact that these restrictionists are unlearned as to what is normally used by police, they pretend that they have the expertise to draw lines which of course is a stepping stone (look at Cuomo in NY) to less and less and less.
The fact is, these restrictionists have to claim that normal law abiding citizens can be trusted with 10 rounds but not 15 or 20-an argument that is impossible to support. They also have to argue that we citizens who are not police officers, are less entitled to self defense then our public servants.
when You see a gun restrictionist make this argument you know you are dealing with someone who doesn't trust you to own any weapon but they understand the political ramifications of calling for a complete ban now
