A few points on so called ‘large capacity feeding devices’

First things first. These are not in any way “high capacity” or higher than normal capacity. Advocates or agenda driven people have tried for years to reclassify what “normal capacity” is down to what are essentially 3 shots in a shotgun, a common fowling restriction, 3-5 shots in a rifle again a common hunting limitation and for anything else, zero. Nada. Zilch. Nothing. Only a total ban will do. Of course, Heller threw a wrench in that last one but that hasn’t stopped the police statists from clamoring for new restrictions on your right to defend yourself. The bottom line is that the “standard” capacity for a 9mm service pistol is 17-19 rounds. That’s what is commonly available on the market today with what the manufacturers deliver with the guns. These arms are “in common use” by the American people and a “lower capacity” will serve only to put peoples lives in danger.
The policies of prohibition make the world safe for terrorists, predatory sex criminals and rampage killers. They are unafraid of being caught and prosecuted, nor are they afraid of unarmed resistance and all but the most hardened terrorists do fear injury or death. The Colorado theater attack, Mumbai, and the LA bank robbery scene showed that for a protected attacker, a low capacity firearm is not sufficiently effective to stop the threat. So what the police statists want is to put everyone in mutual danger. Handgun rounds are generally weak and shot placement is key in successfully stopping a threat. An armored or even heavily clad attacker can require hits to a non-center of exposed mass area in order to stop the threat, but if the attacker is wearing a bullet resistant vest or garment under normal clothing, hits on center mass will not stop the threat but you won’t know this by looking at the attacker.
This guy… The tactics of these political terrorists show their ultimate goals, and that taking the so called “high road” in a political fight with them will end up in defeat for the takers of the “high road”. This is not a political fight with rules like boxing, or even hockey. This is a political WAR in which there is no “unfair”, there is only victory and defeat. There is no room for 2nd place, honorable mention and the 2nd place finisher in this war will be the first loser. If crazies like this are talking about this strategy on the police state side, gun owners had better get off their duffs and start doing the same but do it harder.
The gun owners need to take note: Manufacturers, distributors & dealers must not stay silent on this issue. Any law which requires the manufacturing to change will add cost. That cost will be borne by gun owners. Manufacturers got a free pass from gun owners back in 1994 – 2004. They continued to supply police departments and federal law enforcement agencies with “restricted” aka illegal magazines, passing the cost of lower capacity magazines on to consumers. There is no legitimate need for a “highly trained”, on duty 24×7 police officer or federal agent to have any more rounds in the magazine than a grandmother defending her home from a burglar or rapist. We should turn Spitzer’s proposal around and insulate manufacturers who don’t agree with Spitzer’s proposal and will refuse to do business with entities who try stuff like this. This would be great for the economy, but we need to take it further by insisting that manufacturers, distributors and dealers won’t sell normal capacity feeding devices to anyone but DOD military contracts. We can call this program “Locaps for me means locaps for thee!”
