Q. What is a large capacity ammunition magazine? A. A magazine is a device for feeding bullets into a handgun or rifle. Standard hunting rifles are usually equipped with no more than 5-shot magazines, standard revolvers are 6-shot, and standard pistol magazines hold 6-10 rounds. But large capacity ammunition magazines can hold 30, 50 or even 100 rounds, enabling shooters to injure or kill many people in seconds before needing to reload. Semi-automatic pistols with large capacity magazines can fire at a rate of more than 6 shots per second for well trained shooters, according to the FBI,(source) or about 30 shots every 5 seconds. For all you people that use the term 'high capacity' |

They're actually called Standard capacity, but hey, using things as their proper terms are never convenient when you're trying to eat away at the 2nd Amendment.

|
Large capacity ammunition magazines are designed to enable shooting mass numbers of people quickly and efficiently without reloading. They are not useful for hunting or self-defense.
*sigh* |

Quoted: They're actually called Standard capacity, but hey, using things as their proper terms are never convenient when you're trying to eat away at the 2nd Amendment. They are called standard capacity now, but back when the wonder 9's were getting hot everyone advertised them as "high capacity". Just like the industry called semi auto paramilitary rifles "assault rifles" Sometimes we are our own worst enemy! |

Talk is cheap.
Getting legislation passed, winning elections, and obtaining favorable court decisions is expensive. The Brady Bunch are talking in the hopes that donations continue in the wake of all the defeats they have suffered where it counts. |

“The Brady Campaign” is a known racist hate group dedicated to depriving millions of Americans of their basic Civil Rights. Tell Congress to put a stop to the hate of anti Civil Rights groups like the Brady Campaign. Support legislation which would deny government contracts to the big corporations that support hate groups like the Brady Campaign.

Semi-automatic pistols with large capacity magazines can fire at a rate of more than 6 shots per second for well trained shooters, according to the FBI
Semi autos spitting out 6 shots a second huh. |

Jerry Miculek fired 5 shots on one target, out of a S&W Model 64, in 0.57 seconds and used a Model 627 to shoot 8 shots on one target in 1.00 seconds. Until your trigger finger fatigues, cyclic rates of 5 to 8 rounds per second are feasible. |

Quoted: Semi-automatic pistols with large capacity magazines can fire at a rate of more than 6 shots per second for well trained shooters, according to the FBI Semi autos spitting out 6 shots a second huh. Can a G18 even do 6 per second in full auto? I know damn well that I cannot spit out 6 rounds per second, and I have had a lot of practice at this... much more than the VT or Tucson shooters. |

Seeing people in Egypt carrying weapons to protect their homes and businesses kills the Brady arguements. |

Of course; but I don't think that they actually believe in the bullshit they spew, they're making their livelihood braying against guns and collecting donations from suckers. |

I was going to say, I don't need "clips" larger than 10 rounds! And really, I'm fine if they limit clips to 8 rounds.
I hardly ever use my 10 round stripper clips for .223 or 7,62x39, so whatever, but my 8-round En Blocs feed my Garand just fine. |

I just spoke with a dumbass at NY against gun violence.

Do they know its called a Glock 17 instead of a Glock 10 for a reason? The glock model 17 has nothing to do with its magazine capacity (which is 17+1=18 by the way)... The glock 17 was Gaston Glock's 17th patent. |

It's a war of semantics.
I say we call them Freedom-phobic or Ameri-phobic. They want to remove all aspects of free choice and personal responsibility. |

Quoted: The korean made glock high capacity ones jam too much anyways. Fixed it for you. I have probably fired 750+ rounds through glock 9mm 33 round mags without one single issue. A buddy got those $10 korean knock-offs and it jammed several times on him. |

"STANDARD CAPACITY" these days varies by caliber.
for 9mm, I'd say 15 is standard, but I think 18 is the upper limit for standard. Anything that sticks out of the handle substantially technically could be called extended. For .40 S&W, 13-15 is standard, and for .45 ACP, 10-13 is standard (unless a single stack is used) So, WTF are they talking about...6-10 is standard for a semi-auto? That's not even the point really...call it what you like...there should never be a limit... |

For all you people that use the term 'high capacity' Denoting a revolver as a relatively "benign" firearm. Yet, that's exactly the firearm type that "got" Sarah Brady into the whole gun control debate, isn't it? |
