Opinion
The latest figures are in, and they spell it out clearly: the so-called high-capacity magazines are a favorite among Americans.
We’re not just using them; they’re a regular part of our lives. With over 717 million ‘high-capacity‘,,, their word, not mine, ammo magazines out there, it’s obvious—the debate over magazine size is over, and we’ve won!
Here’s the breakdown from the trusted folks at the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF).
Of nearly 964 million ammo magazines from 1990 to 2021, about 717 million can hold more than ten rounds. That’s not just a majority—it is a massive tidal wave, and it shows what Americans prefer loud and clear!
Why do so many Patriotic Americans choose these standard and larger magazines? They work well for all kinds of uses, from defending homes to target shooting, hunting, and, yes, putting rogue governments in their subordinate place. These common magazines are essential for the modern guns we use today, helping them work just the way they should.
To those on the deep state left who keep pushing for stricter limits: You’re out of step with reality. Your feeble efforts to limit magazine capacity have failed—just like trying to use a screen door on a submarine—it just doesn’t work. And now, based on the numbers will never work. Time to admit defeat! You were wrong all along and have lost in a crushing defeat.
Our founding fathers made it clear. our right to bear arms shouldn’t be messed with. One aspect of that right is now clearly supported by hard facts/numbers. Nearly three out of four magazines can hold more than ten rounds, proving that these tools are as American as apple pie.
So, let the anti-gun groups and politicians [Republican & Democrat] who want more ‘gun clip’ restrictions take a step back. The people have already made their choice clear at the store and in the fields. While the Fake News media loves to call them “high-capacity” magazines, these normal-size magazines aren’t just a fad; they’re a core part of our guns and gun rights.
To everyone who values our freedoms: stand proud. The numbers don’t lie. ‘High’, err, I mean Standard-Capacity magazines are here to stay, a symbol of our strength and commitment to our rights. Let’s keep celebrating our freedom, one full magazine dump at a time!

About Tred Law
Tred Law is your everyday patriot with a deep love for this country and a no-compromise approach to the Second Amendment. He does not write articles for Ammoland every week, but when he does write, it is usually about liberals Fing with his right to keep and bear arms.
in your very first sentence and throughout the article you caved to the prog narrative, you used the term high-capacity magazine(s). that term is not real/legitimate, it is a prog, anti-gun slang. for standard capacity magazines they don’t like or want others to possess.
if the manufacturer ships them with the firearm they were designed to be used in they are standard capacity magazines. some aftermarket manufacturers make and provide a higher capacity magazine.
using high-capacity magazine is like using the term trans-gender.

I don’t know how or why you would trust an organization that endorsed William Barr for AG, supports the ATF when they enforce arms laws, and supported anti-2A legislation.
We, the supporters of the Second Amendment, and all that it entails, must stop letting the leftists control the verbiage because controlling the language is controlling the thinking. We must come up with an alternative to “high capacity”. There is no high capacity, just capacity.
Lets just call magazines what they are 20 or 30 round magazines. Those certainly are not “high capacity” in the jobs that use them.
OH, I like so much the attitude of this article. I have about 25 mags that are 30, 3-60, 1-100 and two, count them two 10 round mags for when the wife is bench shooting. I think my 10 rounders are way outnumbered and very limited compared to the ones I have that are in common use.
I liked the “Gun Clip” reference.

Standard capacity or standard issue is the term we seek. The Progressive New Left and their anti-liberty propagandists have been corroding and eroding language to their favor for decades. Part of our push back is to take language and thought back and place it squarely in the realm of fact and reason. And just a note: I carried a Service Rifle and led and commanded those who carried loads of Service Rifles during nearly three decades in the Marine Corps. In conversation with civilians and wanna-be’s I could easily tag them as wankers when they used terms like ‘assault rifle.’

MORE BANG FOR THE BUCK?
The RADICALIZED LEFT LEANING diaper wearing DemoKKKrats and RepubliCANTs MUST GET OUT OF THE FREEDOM LOVING AMERICANS’ LIVES !! STOP TRYING to INFRINGE upon OUR God GIVEN RIGHTS!!!! As the Lawful Chinese Ancestry American Lady stated; IF YOU CANNOT GUARANTEE THE GOVERNMENT WILL NOT BECOME TYRANNICAL, I WILL NOT GIVE UP MY GUNS!” – nor my FREEDOMS!!
I have to admit, I have two standard capacity magazines that each hold six rounds, they are , of course, for an older pocket pistol
it’s not defeated here in my once great and safest state of VT, taken over by transplants. the fem-male politicians have been victorious in banning magazines here and worse. we’ve been forced to spend hundreds of thousands in court challenges and we’re still not there yet.
…the fight continues.
