Why does anybody need a high capacity magazine?

because I don't have a belt-fed weapon.

Duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuh.....................

‘Cause they’s MORE than thirty bad guys out there??

“Why does anybody need a 30 round magazine?

In all seriousess, this is the front line weapon liberals will employ against the 2nd Amendment. It’s simple, bumper sticker sized, and hard to answer unless you reply in kind. We need good, short answers that can be circulated in response. Think about these, or add your own:

1. For self defense against multiple attackers.

2. Because jackbooted thugs have them, too.

3. Because man has an inherent right to arm himself to the level of his potential oppressors, foreign or domestic.

4. Because ‘arms’ mean military arms. The Founders provided the means for civilians to own the exact same weapons as their own and foreign militaries. The fact that weapons have grown more accurate and powerful doesn’t negate that original logic.

Why does any of my tax money go to California?

Why is my hospital bill so high to make up for illegal aliens who abuse the system?

Why can’t my local school toss out the miscreants and the lawyers and thus lower my taxes?

Why aren’t Feinstein’s husband’s business deals investigated for cronyism?

[Steamburg]

For the same reason we need a representative government rather than a dictator.

The ultimate power of the Constitution is that it restrains the Federal Government and retains the power of the States and the People if they can recall how to exercise it.

For me, reloading a ten round magazine gets tiresome after about fifty rounds.
And all I do is punch holes in paper.

> Why Does Anybody Need a 30-Round Magazine?

To even the score with assailants/terrorists/jack-booted-thugs who have 30-rd mags.

Guns of military utility are ESSENTIAL to the defence of Family, Property, and Liberty.

[Brooklyn Attitude]

NEED is a trap that gives the govt an excuse to ban anything not “needed”. I have lots of things I dont need and it’s none of the f’in govt business.

[Mom MD]

Because I want one and the constitution protects my rkba. No other answer is necessary and frankly is none of the govt business

[MasterGunner01]

The higher capacity magazine the better in dealing with feral liberal varmints. They are like locusts; they devour everything in sight, everywhere they are.

Why Does Anybody Need a 30-Round Magazine?

Why do those who let fear rule their lives assume that the 1.5 seconds it takes to reload a magazine will do anything useful?

(It surely didn't slow down Adam Lanza. He fired MANY more than 30 shots. He brought additional magazines, because he wanted to fire more than 30 shots. That doesn't take a genius to figure out. Clearly this huge push for magazine limitations isn't for safety. So what is it about, dear Liberal friends? If you answer anything other than "Control", you're likely wrong yet again.)

"Why Does Anybody Need a 30-Round Magazine?"

Because 40 round mags are hard to find.

Well, so are 30s these days...

Why Does Anybody Need a 30-Round Magazine?

I'll assume it's already been said, but of course we don't have a Bill of Needs. Refreshing to say it.

[ataDude]

The easy answer: “...because I can’t find a 40-round magazine.”

Why does any Senator need to serve more than one term?

the Moro insurrection in the Philippines.

It's not terribly relevant to the article, but still a very interesting note that the Moros were and are a particularly nasty bunch of violent mohammedan radical terrorists.

[rightly_dividing]

Because reloading cuts into your fun time.

[rolling_stone]

Why does a bear crap in the woods? Because (gr) it is his natural given birthright and until someone changes that by forcibly putting him in a cage thats what he is going to do.

"Why Does Anybody Need a 30-Round Magazine?"

According to the vainglorious doom stories of the government-funded socialist middle class, when they lose their incomes during the austerity programs of the default process, they're going to attack and conquer rural families.

Such rural families might be better able to hold off the gangs of former political/regulator zombies (no longer highly paid for officiously regulating against and robbing their neighbors) with 30-round magazines, until police arrive. And oh, yeah...there won't be any "WROL" (without rule of law) situation, as rural folks will always somehow compensate law enforcement and keep it employed.

[Little hyperbole and humor there but not entirely unrealistic. Country folks need rifles for various reasons including defense, protecting livestock, Second Amendment, because of rural distances involved.]

[”He had 32 Krag balls through him and was only stopped by the 33rd bullet — a Colt .45 slug through both ears.”]

My great, great uncle first recounted the above story to me when I was a boy. The Philippine insurgent, from a tribe of mutated bushmen, was 17 feet tall and weighed 800 pounds. And he was the village runt. Uncle Elmer was captured by one of these slant-eyed giants who dropped Elmer into his pants pocket. Uncle escaped by cutting his way out with his bayonet.
