When looking at firearms, cartridge capacity has always been important to me.

I think AR high cap mags are bad.

Anything over 30 is unreliable. Spring pressure, even with snail drums, is excessive. The middle of a fire fight is no time to discover you have a double feed or a pipe stem jam.

The 2nd amendment is specifically about military weapons. That includes ammunition capacity and more importantly full automatic weapons.

We the people are guaranteed the right to possess machine guns as those are the weapons that will be used against us.

Just as the first amendment protects all forms of speech it it primarily aimed at protection of POLITICAL speech. The second amendment protects firearms and other arms for hunting and sport but it's primary purpose is protecting rights of arms for war and today that means machine guns.

Ironically the federal government outside of the military has no such rights or power. We the people are guaranteed the right to own a full automatic M4 carbine, an FBI or BATFE agent is not.

The problem with magazine capacity limits is this: the gun banners will never be satisfied. If there is a school shooting and the shooter uses 20 round magazines, they will want to reduce the capacity to 15. After the next shooting, they will want to reduce it to 10. Wash, rinse, repeat.

The “peaceful protest” featured a screaming scrum of hundreds smashing down the gate to a privately-owned neighborhood as they poured onto the privately-owned street just a few feet from the McCloskey residence.

Speaking of the wealthy elite and "privately-owned neighborhoods," does anybody remember this story about an Asian couple who bought a private street in the richest part of San Francisco at a tax delinquency auction after the neighborhood HOA failed to pay its property tax for 30 years?

The couple kept hidden for two years the fact that they now owned the street. Once the neighborhood residents found out that they were going to be charged for parking on the street, they sued to get the street back.

The elite locals eventually won their lawsuit and took back the property that the Asian couple legally owned for two years. That's how the elite wealthy roll in San Francisco. The laws are malleable if you're connected.

For those with long memories, the first California draft of an AW ban also included lever action tube fed rifles.

Neal Knox spilled the beans on this and that part of the bill was removed. The bill as the shelved.
Then the state released Pat Purdy from a mental institution, allowed him to buy firearms, passing the waiting periods.
He then proceeded to shoot up the Stockton school, and then shot himself.

The shelved bill was pulled out and passed so fast no one had time to oppose it.

Sad that this was the same state that in 1992 turned down Prop 15 to register and ban handguns in the state.

Now the anti-gun virus has exploded the cell wall called Kali-phornia and is spreading to other states.

People need to be reminded of April 19, 1775 when our forefathers kick redcoat ass for coming for their weapons. We should do the same now.

The video I’ve seen innumerable times seems to show a dozen or so rioters, not hundreds. Are there other angles of the group to get a count?

You lose when you agree to their terminology. They’re standard capacity not high capacity. By using the language of your enemy it implies that 10 rounds as standard capacity.

"Why You Have a Constitutional Right to a High Capacity Magazine"

I agree with that. But tell it to the Supreme Court, populated with stealth leftists. The next one appointed will probably be another woman pushed in by the screeching hen house and presented as a conservative, and she will turn on you.

Thirty-round magazines are not “high capacity.” They’ve been standard on those rifles since the early 1990s. I was in ranks, when my combat unit started using the 30-rounders instead of the 20-rounders. Before then, the 30-rounders generally weren’t reliable enough to risk using.

I do like the 20s, though. They allow for laying lower and holding the rifle more properly while firing from that low. In other words, they allow for better use of very low cover (usually soil).

You do not have a constitutional right to a high capacity magazine. You have an INALIENABLE right, recognized in the U.S. Constitution, to a any capacity magazine.

I don’t have a “Constitutional right” to anything. I have the Natural Right as an American to own and use whatever I want.

30 round AR mag is STANDARD CAPACTIY. These mags come with the gun.

The same goes for 50 round PS90 magazines. These are STANDARD CAPACITY and come with the gun.

Liberals love to set the terms of discussions of that which they know NOTHING about.
