56. Because it's been tried

With no discernable effect on crime. From 1994 to 2004 it was illegal to manufacture magazines that held more than 10 rounds (except for export and police/ military use). The law did not prohibit ownership or transfer and after 10 years there was no evidence found that it had any effect on crime. To my knowledge extended magazines have been used in exactly one mass shooting to date.


Given the above why don't you logically defend why we need yet another law against extended magazines
