I have been asked my opinion on the necessity of keeping 30
rounds magazines for guns. To quote some
comments: “The only reason for 30 round mag is to kill people – why should the
government allow those?” “What possible
sporting use is a 30 round mag?” And so
it goes that it would appear to the average person that there is really no
necessity for these large capacity mags, except to kill people.
So it is time to get down to the cold hard unpleasant facts
that no one really wants to think about or consider. The true purpose of the Second Amendment is not to preserve sporting purposes, or to make a better target shooter, or to
hunt much of anything in the wild kingdom.
The true purpose is as check on, as last resort against, a government
that has gone completely outside its boundaries.
