54. They are better, no doubt.

No one is saying that they aren't better. They are. 30 rournds is greater than 10 or rounds... no one disputes that. A 30 round mag is easier to carry than 3 10 round mags. There is this extraattention to owning something that was previously banned... kind of like eating that (formerly) forbidden fruit. And they are easier to find and usually cheaper because of the greater supply. And that's what the military uses so it looks cool... Yeah! There are a number of reasons (mostly superficial and silly reasons) that people use the 30's. 99% o the reasons are personal preference based because no one really needs that many consecutive rounds.

But, at the end of the day if it takes 10-15 seconds to shoot off a 30 round mag accurately** versus 15-20 seconds to shoot off 3x10 round mags accurately... is it really worth the political avalanche of bullshit it costs to achieve such a change? The performance difference isn't going to drastically alter too many of these mass shootings and the logistical issues of being forced to use 10 round magazines isn't a show stopper either. So you have to ask yourself, what is the return on investment in political capital? IMO, there are more productive avenues of gun control, but some people seem fixated on nabbing that low-hanging fruit.

**When I say "accurately", I'm talking paper-plate accuracy accuracy about 2-3 shots/second with 2-3 second magazinec changes... this is pretty average for a decent practiced shooter.
