It was in regard to <a href=\"http:\/\/onlygunsandmoney.blogspot.com\/2012\/12\/infographic-on-standard-capacity.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an infographic I had posted by the American Preppers Network<\/a> that discussed &#8220;high capacity&#8221; magazines.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<br \/>\n<i>We have to be better at getting the right terms out there. Especially getting them to the talking heads on our side ( they are making lots of mistakes). Otherwise hyperbole wins the day. \u201cStandard capacity\u201d is the winning term. They are proposing \u201creduced capacity\u201d. \u201cReduced capacity magazines\u201d diminish a persons ability to defend themselves. 10 is a random # made up out of thin air.<\/i><br \/>\n<i><br \/><\/i><br \/>\n<i>If we meet them on the terms they set, talking about \u201c high caps don\u2019t save that much time\u201d we lose because nobody ( other that shooters) wants to follow that. We, as proponents for the preservation of the 2nd, have to make sure our arguments are not just convincing to us, but to lay people as well.<\/i><br \/>\n<i><br \/><\/i><br \/>\n<i>\u201cStandard capacity\u201d is what a pistol was designed for. It\u2019s what a rifle was designed for. Artificially limiting that capacity harms a persons right to self defense as codified in Heller. Spread this rationale around.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Browning Hi-Power was one of the first pistols to use a double-stack<br \/>\n magazine. The magazine size was 13 rounds. That was the size of<br \/>\nmagazine that the pistol was designed to use. Likewise, the ubiquitous<br \/>\nGlock 17 was designed to use a magazine containing 17 rounds. Hence, I<br \/>\npresume the name.<\/p>\n<p>I think Mr. Ryan is absolutely correct. We have to take charge of the discussion and to do that we need to be more precise in our language. We cannot let the media or the gun prohibitionists continue to dominate the discussion with the emotionally laden term of &#8220;high capacity&#8221;. There are good, solid reasons one needs standard capacity magazines in the non-military, non-law enforcement world and we should be making them daily.<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<div style=\"margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;\" class=\"sharethis-inline-share-buttons\" ><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had a thought provoking comment left the other day by a John Ryan that bears repeating.
