In reply to the discussion: "100 round drum magazine" at the scene... [View all]Tsiyu
(18,186 posts)120. +1000000
No civilian needs a 100 round capacity magazine for ANY reason. But those with a fetish for their firearms want the "right" as some sort of principle, like it actually makes them feel all warm and fuzzy that they CAN own one if they want to. Even if it puts their own children and their communities at risk.
The only reason a civilian wants or needs a 100 round mag is to do what Holmes did. There is no other reason. If you think the apocalypse is coming, then you want one to "kill all the atheists and commies." And that's who buys these magazines - deranged, ego-maniacal wacknuts who love their guns more than they love their country or their neighbors or their families because someday there may be civil war and they want to be able to kill as many people as they can. THERE is NO other reason to own these.
I will not respond to anyone who disagrees. You will not change my mind so fuck off in advance. You're fucking psycho.
Thanks...

I agree. Whether or not it *should* be legal is simply a matter of opinion.

My point was that a 100 round drum is *not* illegal in the vast majority of states.

No, but the purpose of the second amendment is to own weapons suitable for warfare.

Unreliable, awkward, and pretty much a waste of money to any serious recreational shooter.
