I don’t see any utility in the Slide Fire SSAR-15, other than making a lot of noise. Even for a psychopath who wants to make the news as a mass killer, it looks like a chance to jam the weapon after fewer aimed shots, or to waste ammo with fewer shots hitting a person. I would be far more concerned about a trained shooter with a stack of 10 to 30 round magazines (clips for those who have never touched an evil 12 gauge AAK-47 fully-automatic assault shotgun) than about a moron with a Slide Fire SSAR-15 and carrying an equal weight in 100 round drums.
They should not be banned - the Second Amendment means what it says - but I can’t see why anyone would want one.

Agree. Actually, the probability of these high capacity magazines malfunctioning is pretty high. Case in point; I believe the Colorado movie theater shooter, James Holmes, entered the theater with a 100 round drum magazine locked in his weapon and thankfully it jammed on him. Just a side note, the reason the U.S. military, during WWII, discontinued the drum magazine for the Thompson was due to its propensity to malfunction - plus it was heavy. Anyway, agree that there should not be a limit on magazine capacity but, at least for me, there’s a practical and functional limit that I heed.
