The Garand has an internal magazine which can be reasonably quickly loaded with a stripper clip (you strip the rounds out of the clip and into the magazine.)
Odumbo’s beef with the carbine is that it has detachable “high-capacity” magazines. Those are inherently evil, and must be banned.

Well, yeah, I can’t argue with that. Those things have a mind of their own!

It’s ugly when they turn on their owner.

I've only seen them loaded using M1 en bloc clips which hold 8 rounds. These clips remain in the magazine until the last shot is fired, then are automatically ejected.
