I rather like the concept. Many on Freerepublic already have a number of magazines with a capacity of more than 10 rounds. I consider those magazines to be standard capacity, for the most part. A strong argument is made that if police can have the equipment then citzens should have equal access to it.

"It may even be one of the fastest-appreciating investments you ever make!"That's the dammed truth! After the ban during the 1990s, prices of 'pre-ban' mags went through the roof, and people were gladly paying for them!!
I don't think such a law would make it through the Congress right now, so stock up!!!

Good advice. The gun salesman is at it again with his call for “sensible gun controls” (BAN THEM ALL!, The Shot and the hand and the ball!) And of course, any mags over two rounds, because perps should have the same chance as ducks. After all he is not after your hunting guns, since the 2nd IS about duck hunting, isn’t it?

They aren't "high capacity" magazines. They are standard capacity. If you buy a cz75b in 9mm it comes with 15 round magazines. If you buy an AR-15 it will typically comes with a 30 round magazine. You can make magazines hold less of course, those would be "reduced capacity" magazines not "standard" magazines.
Don't let liberals frame the debate through the misuse of language.

"JPFO now asks EVERY responsible American gun owner to, as soon as possible, purchase at least one high capacity magazine." Ow, ow -- OK, twist my arm. $;-)
I agree with marktwain -- I don't like the use of the words "High Capacity" in reference to firearm magazines. That's allowing the enemy to define the terms of the debate. For a long while now I instead use the term "standard capacity" when speaking of anything over ten rounds, and "limited capacity" for ten-rounders. That's much more accurate.
Let's face it -- this is 2011, and >10 rounds for pistols has been widely available for decades. For rifles, the differences are even greater and longer-term; to wit, the AR-15 class of rifles has had 30 rounds available since 1966.
It's been a long time since six-shooters and bolt guns ruled the day.

As someone who carries a 1911 every day, my standard capacity mags only hold 8. Nevertheless, if you wanna carry tactical tupperware, I have zero problems with you having 19 in yours.

“High-capacity” as a descriptor for magazines should be limited to 33-round Glock 9mm mags, 75-round AK drum mags, 100-round double-snail AR drum mags, and the like.
The rest, as you say, should always be “standard capacity”.

High Turnout Against Magazine Ban But Threat Remains in ConnecticutAs I said in my testimony in CT last week:
Do we ban citizens from attending more than 10 rallies or sending more than 10 letters to the editor as a high capacity exercise of free speech?
Do we suspend a citizens protections under the 4th Amendment after 10 warranted searches?
Do we ban women and minorities from high capacity voting more than 10 times?
Do we ban beer by the case as high capacity alcohol possession?

LOL! OK, I’ve got to say that looks pretty lame.
And I generally like high-capacity mags as I defined just above.

"A strong argument is made that if police can have the equipment then citzens should have equal access to it." But the CORRECT argument is "if the Army has it" then the "militia" should also (in the correct meaning of the term "militia").
To: WOBBLY BOB
HA! That’s one kind of “high capacity” that Liberals are all in favor of!

Who knows when you may need those extra rounds in a magazine!
I lifted this from an old 1984 copy of PISTOLERO MAGAZINE.

Ha! The 30-rounder’s I wanted were in stock, so I ordered those. I created a second (back)order for the 20-rounders, which were out of stock. Of course, I only plan on using them as Christmas tree ornaments...
