Again, magazines with over 10 bullets and up to 100 or more, the kind used in all the mass murders du jo ur. There is no purpose for extended magazines other than war or mass murder. You can't hunt with them, but you sure can kill a lot of people, which is their design and purpose. So if gun owners are so law abiding, why do they fantasize about shooting 100 bullets into someone? Why do they feel the need to have that capacity. There is no legal or sane reason for it.

I must have missed the part of the second amendment that citizens must not be deprived of the capacity to commit mass murder.
