***People can make their own high capacity magazines....***
This is true! But don’t tell anyone! The VC used to do it in VN all the time. Converting 20 rd magazines to 30 and 40 rounds with miinimal tools.
I have been told its really not that difficult. Take two short magazines, remove the bottom of one, cut the top off the other, weld them together........
What amazes me about this entire discussion...is that there is some mythical magic formula in everyone’s mind about gun magazines. Some guys from WW II would swear that a 10-bullet clip was sufficient...in that you wanted every single round to count and didn’t fire wildly. Guys from Nam would swear that they would have asked for 40-round clips...in that you just aimed in a direction and fired off as much as you could. Hunters will tell you that a 6-round clip is sufficient. And then you have some Democratic political figure telling you their magical and mythical dream of a ammo-clip.
If you could have dragged George Washington out and whispered into his ear that you had the potential for a 2-round clip....he would have been totally fascinated and wanted a demonstration.
