    Tactical, assault style, etc let's be honest, they just want to ban black weapons because they're scary looking.

    Such amazing amounts of inadvertent profiling and racism.

    Always about the Black Ops with you...

    And they're right. There is literally no point in civilians having high capacity magazines. They serve no purpose

    We should be able to own any gun we want to. Full auto. Infrared. High capacity. Fuck off.
    I you want a handgun to protect yourself fine, I'm a believer in the constitution and respect the 2nd amendment. When was the last time a high capacity magazine was used in any way other than to commit mass murder? (excluding shooting contests, at ranges, etc.)
    You forgot to say something about protecting the children as to why we constantly need less rights.

    The only thing that stops a dictator from seizing power in this country, or some asshole official/cop from going way too far, is the the 2nd Amendment. I'll take thousands of dead every year in gang and domestic violence, over millions to billions dead in inevitable purges, because the balance in power between citizens/military is annihilated.
    Does that really seem likely? This is still a relatively stable country.
    Seems unlikely now, but in 50-100 years I wouldn't rule it out

    Just like the ban on fully automatic weapons in 1934? Or what about the Brady bill in 1994 that was rolled back in 2004? All slippery slopes to gun confiscation.

    Or how about the confiscation of 600k assault rifles in Australia in 1996?

    Oh wait.
