Teachable Moment: Self Defense, Not An Effective Legal Argument Against Mag Cap Restrictions

We know the history of the 2nd Amendment and that it was included to allow citizens to throw off an out of control government. At the time firearms were barely more than a closed ended pipe with gunpowder in them and were used by both citizens and armies alike.

If one looks at the history of arms in this country from 1787 to today, we find a remarkable circumstance. For the majority of our history, civilians often out-gunned the military. Our nation’s people often adopted state-of-the-art new designs before the military.

The civil war ushered in the age of both the cartridge and the repeating rifle. In post war years, Army units were issued single-shot rifles while civilians bought Henry or Winchester repeating rifles.

As technology improved so did civilian arms. When the Army switched to a bolt-action rifle in 1892, civilians had been using them since circa 1885. The US Army always seemed to be playing “catch up” with technology adopted by civilians.

The bolt-action rifle was the standard Army issue until just before WW-II. But civilians had been using semi-automatic rifles, like the Remington Model 8 and Model 24 (rimfire) since the early 1900′s. Until 1934, civilians could easily purchase automatic weapons too, although the prices were usually prohibitive for many.

In post WW-II years, Americans bought millions of surplus semi-auto rifles including Garands and Carbines. The M1 Carbine’s standard magazine was 15 rounds and a 30 round was also issued. Companies built semi-automatic rifles for civilian sales with 20 and 30 round magazines in the 1950′s through the 1980′s. The box magazine has been around since 1885 and 20 round magazines since 1908. Their use is so common that they are ubiquitous in the firearms world.

The notion that 20 or 30 round magazine weapons are inherently more dangerous because police would be “outgunned” is specious. Police, like the Army, have always lagged behind (until recently). Police used six-shot revolvers during prohibition when gangsters favored the 7-shot .45 pistol and automatic rifles or the Thompson SMG. It took police over 50 years to switch from revolvers to pistols. Police did not start using “patrol” rifles until the late 1990′s, so they have almost ALWAYS been “outgunned”.

The argument to ban certain rifles because they are “weapons of war” is also specious. The 1939 U.S. v Miller case illustrates that such rifles would be “protected by the second amendment” because their contribution to the “efficiency of a well regulated militia” is easily demonstrated.

For handguns, the development of pistols that hold over 15 rounds is simply a technological one with roots before WW-II and common in the US since the 1960′s. Pistols so equipped are well suited for “militia” use since the militia may also be used as an auxiliary police force during times of “riot and insurrection”.

Bans on “military-style” rifles and large magazines would not only be a prohibited infringement of our civil right to arms, it would be the MOST egregious form – akin to prohibiting rifled weapons in 1776.

Teachable Moment: Self Defense, Not An Effective Legal Argument Against Mag Cap Restrictions

SCOTUS said that the Constitution is not technology bound, guns in common use can’t be banned, a 5, 10, 15 or 30 round mag may be the standard size in a common use rifle/pistol. If a 15 round mag fits in my Ruger PT-89, that’s the standard mag and mag capacity. Therefore, end of story.

Gun Law Critic, James Kaleda, Targeted By NJ State Police - ARRESTED

Where is Gov. Christie in all this? Why isn’t he weighing in, directing his AG to make sure Citizen’s rights are respected, etc?

If Christie thinks conservative voters are going to vote for him when he refuses to speak in support of our rights, he’s dreaming.
