[QUOTE="topshelfcheapsuit, post: 3260291, member: 143723"] [b]Man arrested for 2x4 labeled "High Powered Rifle"[/b] Utility for unlawful purposes continues to rise as magazine capacity continues to rise. Utility for lawful purposes plateaus rather quickly. Even if you need more than 10 rounds for hog hunting, are you really telling me that a hog hunter couldn't reload a semi-automatic rifle every ten rounds? Anyway, once those lines cross on a graph, I don't think it should be on the market anymore, for the same reason you don't think that surface-to-air missiles should be on the market. It's utility for unlawful purposes has eclipsed its utility for lawful purposes. Do I have proof that that number is 10 instead of 12 or 8? No, but it's a good a number as any, and a reasonable compromise between banning ALL semi-automatic weapons like some would like (New York, I'm looking at you) and allowing hundred-round drum magazines for everyone. I'd appreciate it if you left the ad hominems of the last sentence out. "Downright mean"? Come on. I'm not saying the magazine makes you a murder. I'm saying that it doesn't need to be on the market, and there would be fewer on the market for criminals to steal or purcase if they weren't widely available for purchase for those who want one "just because."
