Guns: how big a magazine is "too big"

Gun control freaks know that they just can't ban guns.  If they came out tomorrow and said, "all guns are illegal, you have to turn them in" then the consequences would be dire.  In the blink of an eye, people who were good citizens their whole lives, who paid taxes and caused no trouble for many decades, would suddenly be faced with being branded a felon, simply for not complying.  For people who are not gun owners, who are so childishly unaware of what always eventually happens to populations which give up their means of defense, I have to tell you, these kinds of mandates simply will not work.  Many people would rather shoot it out than just hand them over.

The gun grabbers know this and so they run a continuous harassment and psyops program against gun owners.  The goal is to make us feel like there is a constant, relentless force that will wear us down.  And sometimes they do make small strides like getting rid of so called bump stocks.  But their tactic is to nip around the edges take-take-taking whatever they can get away with. 

One of the big things that gun grabbers attack is magazine size.  After all, people who have never shot a gun in their lives are quick to ask "why do you need 10-20 bullets, can't we limit to 5 or less?".  After all, it does sound reasonable to many people and so they don't see how it can hurt.  It can "save lives" while still allowing gun owners to protect themselves, right?  So the question I want to address is how many rounds do you need to have in a magazine in order to protect you and your family.

The simple answer is that you don't know and neither do I.  It depends on the circumstances.  If you are pinned down in a shootout then it could take 10 clips, each with 15 rounds in order to keep the multiple bad guys off you.  Or it could just take 1-2 shots to put the bad guy down.  But there is no way to know in advance and thus no way to fairly legislate and control it.

If this seems to vague a response, then check out this recent video where a Houston man saved his life and the life of his pregnant girlfriend as well as that of their unborn child using a gun to fight off 3 men who had kidnapped them at gunpoint and had herded them into the couple's apartment.  Once that door was closed there is no telling what the 3 bad guys had in mind but its safe to assume that the victims would have died on the spot.  Instead, the male victim grabbed his gun and began a clip dump at the cowardly criminals.  He took one in the stomach during this heroic act but he survived and one of the attackers is now in custody.  Go watch that video!  Listen to how many shots are fired.  I counted 16 shots in less than 2-3 seconds. Now we know that at least a few of the shots came from the attackers but two of them started running as soon as the shots were fired so this was really a 1:1 shoot out.

This is real life. In real life you lay down suppression fire as you run for cover.  By doing this he scared two of the attackers off just leaving 1 guy to deal with.  And that one guy only got in 1 accurate shot.  It turns out that when a hail of lead is heading at you, it becomes difficult to concentrate.  If the victim had a machine gun he might not have gotten shot at all, and instead of 1 down and 2 running, it would likely be 3 dead bodies.

Sorry if you don't like this but by disagreeing what you are really saying is you don't give a fuck about giving me the max chance to live.  Your gun grabbing liberal religion is more important.  How many times do we need to see examples of high capacity magazines being used to good effect in a combat situation. And make no mistake, that poor guy was in open combat, mano y mano with the bad guy.  This one video should be more than enough actual proof of the valid need for a high cap mag because the bad guys don't telegraph how many rounds you will need to fire in a 2 second period before they flee or die.
