Standard capacity magazines, damnit. At least the author didn’t write ‘clip’.

I know that "standard capacity" is a snark against "high capacity," but realistically are the 6 round magazines for my LCP and the 30 round Magpul magazines for my AR both "standard capacity?"

I suppose so.

Standard capacity is a relative term.

Depends on the specific firearm. My S&W 49 standard capacity is 5 rounds. In my KelTek .22 magnum, standard capacity is 30 rounds. Both are handguns. Standard capacity for a Browning 1919 is 250.

In other words, the term is essentially meaningless. Except for political purposes.

Standard capacity implies there’s a substandard capacity and, to whit, a superstandard capacity. It shouldn’t matter the capacity. Magazines shouldn’t be restricted, period. If you want to lug around or try to aim an AK with a drum mag, have at it.
