As we all know, not only the FedGov, but many state governments are attempting to limit magazine capacities to no more than 10 rounds. And even my state of Oregon will probably get it done this year, since we have a Democrat-controlled house, senate, and governor’s seat. That has already happened in neighboring Washington. So, I keep telling everyone who will listen, to get more magazines – NOW! Some folks say: “Oh, I have five spare magazines for my gun…” Sorry, that’s not going to be enough!
At the Federal level, H.R. 1808 — which includes a ban on any newly-manufactured magazine holding more than 10 cartridges (or perhaps 15 rounds, if they modify the bill, as they are debating) — is now pending before congress. And that bill has no sunset clause. If it becomes law, then it will be permanent! So stock up, heavily.
The governments – all of them – simply want to control everything we do. Everything! Plus, let’s not forget that, “they” are afraid of gun owners. They know as long as we have unregistered firearms, we will not be ruled! And, they sure hate the nasty “assault weapons” that we own – truth be told, few of us own real $200 Federal tax stamp full-auto assault weapons – at best, we have look-a-like weapons, that are semiautomatic. Still, they are afraid of us. Good! The government should fear the citizenry, not the other way around.
Not everyone wants, or can even afford an AR-15 or other similar firearms. However, we still want to have the best protection that we can afford. So we should at least consider buying extra capacity magazines for our handguns. With these magazines, it turns them into a force to be reckoned with. Many firefights in the military have taken place at under a hundred yards. Given a little bit of practice, we can hit man-sized targets out to 100 yards with a handgun, and with a bit more practice, out to 150 yards. That’s good enough to make the bad guys wish they were someplace else. And, with an extra capacity magazine, we can really make them wish they were someplace else.Continue reading“Extra Capacity Pistol Magazines, by Pat Cascio”
