I took some time to vent today on some other pages, I felt the need to share it here as well...
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Time and time again I see the unwitting question, "why do you need a 30rd magazine?" Well, let answer that question with a question… Why do you need a car that can go over 75mph? Well, the answers to that question of a question are simple.
A ) Would you rather be in a vehicle that has been governmentally limited to the stated 75mph Speed Limits and therefore physically cannot make an evasive maneuver on the highway to save your life and the lives of others from, say a “run away vehicle?” You are limited and entrapped to the government implemented limitations, “to make the roads safer” and in turn end your life due to those limitations.
B ) Would you rather be in a vehicle that cannot “outrun” another vehicle that is chasing you with means to cause you harm? The individual that appears to NOT be a law abiding citizen IS AND WILL ALWAYS ignore the laws that pertain to him as a citizen as well. While you remain a law abiding citizen and put yourself at further risks and ease of attack.
C ) Would you rather be in a vehicle that can only go the governmentally limited 75mph if you are an Automotive Enthusiast and have to stay under that limit when you go to a race track for recreation? Absolutely absurd in nature!
The answer to the original question, “why do you need a 30rd magazine?” is better answered and addressed directly in terms of law abiding human safety, rifle design, and Enthusiasm again.
A ) Would you rather defend your home, cabin, RV, vehicle, camp, etc. with a rifle that has been designed around a magazine that has a normal capacity of 30rds and not be able to utilize it due to the fact you are a law abiding citizen that had followed the regulations of 15rd magazine limitations?
B ) Would you rather find yourself wielding an AR-15 (Armalite Rifle-15) with a 10 or 15rd magazine while you face ONE or SEVERAL intruders with the same rifle, but instead wielding them with the standard 30rd magazine, if not the high capacity magazines that hold 60-100rds? The individual that appears to NOT be a law abiding citizen IS AND WILL ALWAYS ignore the laws that pertain to him as a citizen as well. The NON law abiding citizen will have obtained that rifle in an illegal manner and obtained the magazines for it in the same way, as to inflict harm upon you, your family, and those around you so that he will have the upper hand.
C ) Would you rather own a rifle that can fire semi-automatically and was designed to fire 30rd magazines, but instead now you are a law abiding citizen and you only have 10 or 15rd magazines if you were a Gun Enthusiast? This factor is the same determination and reasoning as the Automotive Enthusiast wanting the “ability” to travel the speed limitations of the vehicle and not what the government tells them they can do.
After reading all of these reasoning (there are many more) it begins to sound as if we are living in a tyrannical society, where we cannot live how we wish but how we are told. This is not a society I wish to live in, nor a society I wish to contribute to, if everyone is scared of everyone else to the point that they believe a governmental agency can place forth contingencies and laws that will provide safety for all the people of the nation. This in fact could not be any further from the truth! One more time I will state the obvious, that so many people in this nation and other nations, seem to have forgotten, not realized, or ignored… The individual that appears to NOT be a law abiding citizen IS AND WILL ALWAYS ignore the laws that pertain to him as a citizen as well.
