(10,164 posts)That phrase right there tells me I'm probably wasting my time here,but I'll give it one try. I in fact made no such advocacy. I specifically stated that my home defense firearm is a handgun with a 10-round magazine. 10 rounds is the usual suggested size when people advocate magazine capacity restrictions, and it hardly qualifies as "high capacity." I mentioned my rifle as a possible reason I might be effected by a magazine ban. I didn't state that I have it for home defense (I don't; a high powered rifle is usually a terrible choice for that purpose: the ammunition can easily penetrate walls, and it takes two hands to use in a situation where you may need the other hand to use a flashlight, operate a phone, etc.).
Hopefully this clears up your misconceptions about my statements, but frankly that use of an emotionally-loaded catch phrase lowers my confidence.
