A U.S. District Judge in Washington, D.C. has declined to grant an injunction against the city’s ban on “large capacity” magazines, ruling that while magazines in general are “arms” protected by the Second Amendment, LCMs fall outside of the scope of the amendment because they’re a “poor fit” for self-defense purposes.
The challenge to the District’s magazine ban, known as Hanson v. D.C., involves four legal gun owners from D.C. who all say that they would possess and carry “large capacity” magazines in their firearms if they weren’t banned by law. The District’s prohibition comes complete with a potential three-year prison sentence, though it’s unclear how often that sentence is handed down in practice, especially with D.C. prosecutors routinely deciding to decline charges in many illegal gun possession cases.

NYC Mayor Bloomberg outlawed soda servings > 16ozs. Those wanting MORE, simply got refills.
If people are limited to 10 round magazines but want more protection, guess what they will do?

This Judge should be locked in a room and forced to watch a tape of Reginald Denny being beaten nearly to death by a mob as he lay on the ground defenseless. I think watching that tape on a continuous loop for a week would possibly change his mind.
Remember to carry and prevent yourself from being a victim while waiting for Police to arrive. And keep in mind if you ever find yourself broke down in the hood everyone has a Stolen gun, a criminal record, no respect for life, and no one’s calling the cops. If your attacked you must call the Cops, watch for attackers, have enough ammo to defend yourself for God knows how long and hope they arrive. Magazines big enough for that are heavy.

And a “large capacity magazine” is like a hate crime.
Leftists cannot specifically define it but they know one when the see it.

I missed the part of the 2nd Amendment declaring the right to bear arms was only for purposes of self defense.
