High cap mags questions

[jck]

I thought about this in another thread and was just curious on a few views.

Please don't think I agree with high cap mag restrictions, as I think the government should stay out of my life completely and not tell me what to do.

But, why do people associate high cap magazines to the 2nd amendment? The 2nd doesn't say anything about magazines, only guns.

So while I completely agree that no one should restrict what I should be allowed to buy, what's the opinion on why this is a protected right that shall not be infringed?

I understand why people are upset about restriction guns...that's a completely protected right, but magazines aren't listed in the bill of rights.

Views?

I see your point, but to argue that mags are not covered would be the same as arguing that AR-15's arent covered. The gun wont operate without a mag. (well not more than one shot)
They are a package item, one is useless without the other.

So if you agree then it follows that restricting the number of bullets a mag can hold is really pretty silly. I can buy three 30 rd mags and shoot 90 times in less than a minute, or I can by nine 10 rd mags and fire 90 times in under a minute (MAYBE a little longer)
The only difference is I have to practice changing mags a little more to get faster at it.

Honestly, banning certain capacity mags is really a stupid way to go about "gun control" IF IF IF you wanted gun control it would make way more sense to ban the gun than the mag.

With respect to the 2nd Amendment: "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

In order to provide the above security, a well regulated Militia should not be restricted in the number of rounds ones magazine hold.

Ah, good point about one is useless without the other. It's simple, but didn't really think about that

As a side note...
I'd like to find a couple of 10 rd mags for my AK. The 30 rounders are cool and super fun for plinking, but often get in the way when I'm hog hunting with it.
I'd rather have a 10 round mag in it with one or two others in my pocket.

If you hear of any 10rd AK magsfor a decent price let me know.

Then we should all go to militia training to be 'well regulated'

The right to keep and bear arms shall NOT be infringed. By limiting mags you would be infringing on the rights of anyone who needs one to operate their gun. The round count is really irrelevant be it 10,20,30,42, 60 or 100 rd magazines.

People may argue well you dont need anything above a 10 rd magazine. Well maybe they dont need to pursue their happiness. I mean what if their pursuit of happiness is 500k a year in income. Isn't that a little excessive with the poverty that is in the world.
Where does it end and who gets to decide what I need or dont need. If im not breaking any laws then what does it matter. The speed limit is 70 for the most part so why do we need a car sold to the general public that can do 180 mph.

This is where our founders made it clear for us that under the Declaration of Independance we have the right to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

In aspect to the 2nd amendment ...

Justice Scalia ...But as we have said, the conception of the militia at the time of the Second Amendment’s ratification was the body of all citizens capable of military service, who would bring the sorts of lawful weapons that they possessed at home."

[simsknives]

the punctuation in the second amendment is key there are two subjects both the right to have a milita and the right of the PEOPLE to keep and bear arms it says nothing about the right of a milita to keep and bear arms.
