(34,825 posts)41. thank you. no military experience on my end..
though I come from a military family. I do own guns and have some experience in firing military style carbines. just too many yahoos around here that get all their opinions from watching movies or TV. put them through an exercise where they had to change mags with someone bearing down on them, and they most likely would be fumbling their mags as well. it's a ridiculous argument to be sure. there were some people arguing that you could speed load a revolver in a matter of a few seconds, so regulating large cap mags was a waste of time. simply preposterous!
