I support the 2nd Amendment and gun rights, but I just don't see why any person needs a magazine over 10 rounds, or a detachable mag semi auto.
The argument is brought forth that they give gun owners an advantage over criminals, or that they are necessary for self defense. Yet in the vast majority of defensive gun uses (themselves being uncommon), nowhere near 10 shots were fired. There are fewer circumstances where they were needed for lawful defense than the number of people killed in mass shootings with them.
Can someone put forth a valid argument supporting civilian ownership of high-caps and detachable magazine semi-autos without resorting to memery?
Serious answer: not sure why other than convenient
Silly answer: smaller magazine capacity will be a burden upon burgeoning spree shooters

The problem lies in having a 'gun culture'. It is literally a culture of violence. Everyone wants to carry their pistol around so they can fantasize about saving the day or taking down bad guys and pretending to be James Bond.
You don't need a full (or semi) auto machine gun. You don't need a 30 round clip.
If you want to hunt, fine. Get a wooden hunting rifle (less dangerous). You don't need an m16.

Because all of the government troops that can be used to oppress you have high capacity magazines. Also all the organized crime has high capacity magazines. Any invading force will have high capacity magazines.
Foreign and domestic threats are a lot more terrifying than a crazy guy with an AR-15. And if your population isn't armed they will flood your communities with Muslims in order to divide your communities and change your voting patterns. And you will have no access to guns, and they will.
The argument boils down to the fact that every force that poses a threat to your freedom will have access to high capacity magazines.
Because it's not just for self defense.
It's also in the event that our government became so corrupt that we the people needed to overthrow it yet again.

I dont really understand the ban on full auto. Very few ppl can control a full auto even with bursts. Most of their shots would be high and they would run out faster.

It's completely futile to ban standard capacity magazines because retro-active bans do nothing to curb possession and only creates demand to horde them.
The winning move here is not to play.
its a fucking box and spring. you can't fucking get rid of it. Assuming it was a good idea to make "HIGH CAPACITY BABY KILLER MAGS" illegal, ps its not, It wouldnt do shit any way because ITS A FUCKING BOX AND SPRING.
I thought it was America's fight against government tyranny thing so the public and government had a some what even playing field in case of a rebellion. It's also really annoying how people assume AR style rifles are more dangerous because they look scary even though most wooden rifles fire immensely more powerful rounds.

When my uncles home was invaded by five armed men, his 30 round mags came in pretty damn handy. Ran through a mag and a half. He would be dead along with his two children if he were limited by mag capacity. He killed three and wounded two of them by himself. He only took one bullet.

Interestingly, the point of the Second Amendment has nothing to do with self defense, it actually exists for no reason other than to be able to overthrow a tyrannical government if one ever arose and, in addition to guns, it originally covered every weapon imaginable. Private citizens used to own Frigates, Galleons, and other ships of war, as well as cannons, Tanks, and even Jet fighters prior to about 1960.
Your entire argument is actually a meaningless distraction from the real point of the thing, and its really sad that people aren't willing to approach guns, or even their society as a whole, as adults would have in previous generations where life itself was more dangerous and less convenient.
At its core your argument is based out of a distrust for the citizenry of your country, what weapons anyone has would not matter at all if you had faith in your countrymen, and that is the true crime.

Mini 30 with 5rd magazine.
It's funny, I carry 15 rounds in my EDC. I used to just keep 10 in there.
I watched some footage from Baltimore, St Louis, and then way back to the LA riots. I got to thinking "holy shit what if the next big court case leads to a riot in my niggerzone?"
I did a little thinking and realized that just getting home could be difficult. Hundreds of violent niggers being egged on by thousands of less-violent enablers, and I'm carrying only 10rds?
I live around these animals. They carry, so what do I do when I have only 10rds and a car full of them pulls up and demands my laptop bag?
I figured the extra few shots could be the difference, so I loaded them up. There's no harm in carrying a little extra, so why do people freak out so much about how many bullets I can have in a magazine?
Spree shooters don't go where people can shoot back. They can reload at their leisure because nobody is attacking them. Everyone's hiding or running away.
If you're in a defensive position, you're going to want a gun that never runs out of bullets. 15 in your handgun and 30 in your rifle sounds about right to me.
Plus, an AR looks silly with a 10 round magazine.

"Well regulated militia" was 18th century speak for a well armed populace.I will never understand the irrational fear of anti-gunfags about people wanting own guns,and carry them around for self protection.
Why do anti-gunfags want to disarm the populace?The only reason why we don't get invaded is because American citizens are armed to the teeth.If you don't like American gun laws,and hate guns I suggest you move to a different country where you think you'd be safer without the population being armed.Stop trying to change the 2nd Amendment as if it were a privilege when it's a right.If you take away someone's "rights" then they weren't really rights,but privileges.They're called rights,not needs nor privileges.I have the right to own a gun,it's not something you can take away.If you don't know the difference between RIGHTS and PRIVILEGES,I suggest you sit down,and read a fucking book.
>>70087288
The second amendment does not guarantee the right to self defense, it guarantees the right of all Americans to bear arms as a member of a militia (read: non government military) force. This means the right of people to own infantry grade firearms and explosives, and the right of American groups to own military grade cannons, missiles, bombs, and vehicles.
That is what the second amendment is for. For you support the second amendment, this is what you support.

Most people that break in just want cash, jewellery or electronics. They don't want to kill you because of the difference in jail time between robbery and murder. You can defend yourself and your family from low level thieves without a military grade arsenal. The reason home-invaders carry firearms is because they assume the home-owner owns firearms also. If you didn't have guns, they wouldn't need them and therefore wouldn't carry them because they would have a risk of more jail time than if they simply carried a knife.

The point is that if someone is prepared, like someone who is going to commit an atrocity, the size of the magazine makes little to no difference in the effectiveness.
>> pile of magazines
You don't need a pile if you have a vest, a bag, or both. If you're really concerned, you could tape the magazines together and instantly double the amount carried in a vest. You could probably hold 20 or 30 additional standard (20 or 30) round AR mags in a backpack, that's 400-900 extra rounds.
>> how many people deliberately fire 9 of 10 rounds blah blah
Well, assuming they use a modern firearm it wouldn't make much of a difference because they almost all have bolt/slide holds that keep the slide or bolt back when the magazine is empty. The purpose of them doing that was to take every variable out of the equation.
Even if you had to release the bolt or slide, or even rack one into the chamber, it wouldn't make enough of a difference in the ability for someone to defend themselves. It would take you longer to get back on your current target, but you would still have time to fend off close range attackers with ease. The video clearly shows this and it's the entire point of the video.
You're grasping at straws, dude. The video is on point and it completely blows the fuck out of the magazine capacity argument.
It terrifies me to see you lunatics openly fantasize about murdering government agents.

So if they wouldn't defend the government, why is there a need to own weapons on the premise of defending yourself against a government that has no means to attack you because all their employees refuse to?
>>70092193
or you know, they just wouldnt rob in the first place since they might get shot in the face. Also in australia burglers usualy bash the fuck out of anyone that seems them even if they are an unarmed elderly person so your whole point is moot.
>>70087288
Multiple attackers, multiple targets. 1 shot doesn't always get the job done, especially in high stress situations.
On top of that, none of these are actually high capacity. They are the standard capacity for a rifle. 30 rounds per magazine is standard, not high.
>>70092244
Fully automatic is only useful for suppressive fire, but since you ask...
>>70092360
And you probably do not crash or have your house burn down as well.
>>70092459
I'd rather be bashed than shot. Wouldn't you?
>>70092442
I didn't say "all," the majority of personnel would carry out their orders but there would be enough who refused to be a significant drawback
>>70092511
Much more likely than having people invade my home.
Well why do they need to be taken out?
A magazine isn't even as complicated as a firearm and firearms can be made without a factory if they really wanted to.
It doesn't take that long to reload anyways especially with practice.
I personally like the idea of people having guns in my community. I feel safer knowing law abiding citizens can buy whatever gun they want.
Do I see them toting around those guns everywhere they go? No, but if someone broke into a house on my block and they heard gunshots they'd be there in just a couple minutes.
That deters criminals from doing shit.
Unlike black communities most people are actually very civilized and the more of them that are educated and have firearms the better for everyone's safety.
There is also the needs to defend ourselves from a tyrant government.
I mean a full out war a lot of the military would probably back those people. Tanks are shit in dense cities. Drones are expensive.
The US government simply couldn't afford a war against it's people and that's a good thing.
>>70087288
Founding fathers were aware of guns that fired more than 10 bullets at the time of the revolution, and even owned the guns. Fuck, they even ordered the guns for the troops until they realized how expensive they were gonna be. It was capable of firing 20 bullets in five seconds.
So why don't you tell me, if they didn't put limits on magazines at the time the Constitution was written, and even went on the record stating that private citizens had the right to own CANONS, why you think that magazines should be limited now?
>>70092531
If it was enough to be a significant drawback then why would the government even try to kill you?
>>70087288
Might have to take out a squad of Storm Troopers sometime in the near future...
>>70092558
So what? What would you do if you are the .05% (made up statistic) who has it happen to you? Bend over for Mohammed or Jamal and let them fuck your wife and take your shit? I don't plan on any of that happening, but if it does I'm fucked, so I'd rather be ready. Plus guns are fun as fuck. So you get two uses out of them.
>>70092667
Do you not have any home security measures other than firearms? The whole reason you yanks love guns so much is because they are fun as fuck to use, not because they protect your home. I don't see any pictures of people standing proudly with a secure door, and I sure as shit don't see any padlock magazines being sold. The obsession with guns is simply because they are fun to use and you use the whole security reason as a weak excuse to own them.
>>70088740
Prove it.
>>70092654
Are you asking why a civil war would ever happen?
>>70092244
Bitch I might
To be honest it's not dofficult to convert an AR15 or an AK47/74 to full auto, you can legally own the parts as long as they aren't installed. Class 3 firearms can be legally owned for a princely sum and a background check. If the shit hits the fan do you think anyone is going to jail for illegally modifying their rifles for more dakka dakka?
>bill of needs
>>70092484
So when are you going to go and kill some gubment officials?
>>70092520
Do you seriously think robbers think rationally? Do you think they will have a slow escalation of force against you? Most of them are drug addicts looking to make a quick buck for that next hit. Someone like that would not be able to legally get a firearm or afford a black market pistol in australia.
>>70092798
It's not an excuse to use them, for some it's a reason. I don't have other means of home security. I also live in an area with a rising number of meth heads burglarizing homes and stealing cars. Like I just said, they serve a dual purpose. You can have fun with a tool that doubles as a weapon in case of emergency.
>>70092813
Look at all the "wars" going on currently. They are between different ideological groups in 3rd world nations. None of the countries these conflicts happen in are even close to being as advanced as the US.
>>70087288
Okay well i'll take the bait. Let's look at the Virginia Tech school shooting. He had 2 handguns, a 9mm and a .22lr, with a total of nineteen magazines and 400 rounds. He managed to kill 32 people, injure 23, then off himself. Keep in mind you could and still can own 30 round magazines, which glock 9mm models have plenty of, in Virginia. What would have changed in that shooting if he had 30 round mags? Almost assuredly nothing else would have changed except he might have to reload less.
>>70092798
Everything that is not a weapon is nothing more than a desperate attempt to buy time so that people with weapons will arrive. I have a solid wood door, with a bar AND a dead bolt, and the hinges are drilled in with 6 inch screws.
But if the cops aren't here by the time that they get past the door, then I don't have the luxury to wait around and HOPE that they aren't violent. Considering that I work 3rd shift, and my wife is home alone, and weighs 130lbs soaking wet, I would rather give her a gun than a baseball bat.
>>70092892
Have you ever been jumped kiddo? A good friend of mine and I were jumped by cunts with a baseball bats and screwdrivers. If guns were as readily available here as they are in the US we would likely be dead rather than have bruises for a few days.
>>70092963
And? I'm talking about a civil war in America. American citizens aren't all penniless, illiterate goat farmers, and a lot of us have guns that aren't 50 year old Soviet surplus.
>>70092520
What a fucking cuck. How about not at all?
Fuck you straya making me reply.
>>70093046
Do you not see the flaw in your story? If guns were legal there you and your mate could have shot those fucks.
>need
rights =/= needs faggot.
>>70093001
Do neighbours not help each other in America? If cunts tried kicking my door in my neighbours would all come out and say what the fuck is going on, and offer me assistance. They would be subdued, or the cops would have arrested them, or they would run. There is no need for guns.
>>70093046
If everyone was a potential concealed weapons holder, it's likely they wouldn't have taken the risk, unless you were being dumb as fuck and somewhere you know to be dangerous.
Not even guns can save dumb fucks.
>>70093127
Oh? You know a lot of people who are up at 3am?
>>70093097
But I wouldn't be carrying my gun since I probably wouldn't have a concealed carry license or whatever. They are criminals and if guns were readily available they probably would have been carrying them.
>>70087288
>Can someone put forth a valid argument supporting civilian ownership of high-caps and detachable magazine semi-autos without resorting to memery?
I'll shoot you if you try and prevent me from owning them.
>>70093098
WHY DO YOU NEEEEEEEEEED A MILITARY-STYLE ASSAULT WEAPON CAPABLE OF DISPENSING WITHIN HALF A SECOND THIRTY MAGAZINE CLIP
>>70091771
Twice, thanks for asking shitcunt.
>>70087288
I said it thousands of times before:
COLUMBINE FUCKING HIGH SCHOOL
>9mm tec 9 was used
>10rnd mags were used
>more than 90 shots fired
>tec-9 was banned BY NAME in the Assault Weapons Ban that was in effect at the time.
Tell me again how reducing magazine size is increasing safety?
>>70093170
The police force.
>>70093127
Yeah we help each other with guns. They work as intended, kills motherfuckers dead. Saves Uncle Sam from having to provide 25 years worth of 3 hots and a cot for jamal and his buddies.
>>70093127
>They would be subdued, or the cops would have arrested them, or they would run. There is no need for guns.
And what if the perps have knives. bats, or crowbars? What happens when the cops are 45 minutes away? There is no need to require someone risk becoming a victim of a violent crime.
>>70093190
>But I wouldn't be carrying my gun since I probably wouldn't have a concealed carry license or whatever
Then that's you choosing to be a victim. You would get jumped regardless, I would draw and either shoot or they would flee. And if they had guns, one of us is getting shot. And usually its them in those situations.
>>70093208
How many people were killed?
>>70093190
Well thank god the abo's are poor as fuck and you live in a bush.

>BUT DA GURBEEMENT HAS JETS TO BOMB U HILLBILLIES
So my local airport has a reserve fighter wing stationed there. They keep their interceptors out in the open, in plain view of a major road, covered only by a roof.
Aircraft skin is made of aluminum alloy less then an eighth of an inch thick, hardly what you'd call durable. Contained inside it are hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of delicate radios, radar, and other electronics. Not to mention the delicate turbine engines that cost taxpayers a few million a piece.
All of this located about three hundred feet from a road, across nice clear runway with no obstructions. Well within rifle range to anyone who's ever spent any time behind a trigger. Let's assume that someone opens fire on those expensive, delicate aircraft. Let's assume that it takes airport security three minutes to respond, which is very very unlikely considering the road is far away from any buildings on the tarmac. How many rounds could someone put in those multi million dollar aircraft in three minutes? One shot to the cockpit alone would destroy tens of thousands of dollars worth of avionics, and if the radar got hit it could easily go into the hundred thousand range. Not to forget that the seat and canopy would need replacing as well. That's just with the opening shot. What happens if the second shot hits an engine? Or a flight control?
By the time security responded, one man with a rifle could cost the taxpayer millions in damages and ground the planes for up to a week while repairs are conducted. That's not even considering the human cost if the gunman turned his weapon on the security personnel.
>>70093190
I'm guessing you were jumped when you were isolated or in a bad part of town, due to this post: >>70093127
At which point, nothing will help you, because you lack common sense.
The fact that you are lobbying for people to be less free, and for power to be concentrated in the hands of a few, is intellectually backwards, especially in the US, where the Supreme Court has ruled TWICE that nobody, not even cops, have a duty to protect you.
Automatic strawman when you call a standard-capacity magazine in common use, that's 'standard' issue on every rifle from the manufacturer, as "high capacity".
>>70093242
Which brings me back to my original point. If they haven't arrived by the time the door is kicked in, and my 130lb wife is home alone, what then?
>>70093250
If they hit you with their car and then have a fuckin screwdriver at your throat, you'll be able to draw your pistol? Enjoy your tracheotomy, bro.
>>70093347
Assuming a gunman lets you get that close
>>70093190
So your excuse is...what, laziness on your behalf? An unwillingness to get a CW license if you had the ways and means?
>>70093311
My door was not kicked in, I was walking down my own street, my neighbours came out and the fuckwits drove off. There was no need for a gun.
>>70093190
My neighbors are several hundred meters away and wouldn't come looking if they heard smashing as it's common place here (animals and such), the police are 45+ minutes away.
If someone decided to break into my house to do me harm, I'd be on my own. Lucky for me I live somewhere where there's virtually no crime, I still own guns anyway but for other reasons.
Not everyone lives in your safe little city street.

That comes back to not being isolated in dangerous parts of town. If you get hit by a car in a grocery store parking lot, and someone jumps out with a screwdriver, the citizen that is Conceal carrying plugs him.

>>70093347
>If they hit you with their car and then have a fuckin screwdriver at your throat, you'll be able to draw your pistol?
That isn't them jumping me that's attempted murder at that point and there is nothing I can do. But I can draw a pistol and have rounds down range in at least 2 seconds. So they better be pretty damn quick.
>>70093347
Self defense is like 95% situational awareness and 5% actually using a firearm. There are legal repercussions for even drawing a firearm so we tend to not do so unless we are in immediate danger.
because 30 is not high capacity, it is standard, and secondly, any limitation would be purely arbitrary and in no way prevents criminals from killing. The law shouldntt be based on why you need something. Imagine if they limited the tanks on cars because nobody needs more than 5 gallons. You can stop and refill, you only want a bigger tank to run away from cops. See? it's ridiculous.

Super fucking neato. That's not what we are talking about. We are talking about why people need to own guns and be able to conceal carry.
To which I refer you to here:>>70093420
>you don't need high capacity magazines
>you don't need a 500hp car with a top speed of 200mph, that's just dangerous. cars should be electronically limited to the max speed limit

>>70093413
>>70093347
These hypothetical scenarios are something only drooling autistic retards dream up. Just because a gun can't save you in every situation, doesn't mean there's not a valid reason for owning one.

How is that an argument against carrying? If someone hits you with a fucking car you obviously aren't going to be in a position to fight back, having a gun plays no role in that situation because you're already dead or dying

Putting aside the fragility of aircraft, consider that a jet cannot enforce a curfew.
A tank cannot kick in your door at 3am to strip your house for contraband.
An Apache cannot break up an assembly.
To enforce a police state, you need police. So long as armed citizens outnumber police, guess what? Your police state won't fucking work.
