Me for one ,,, It's our right as stated in the second amendment of our Bill of Rights . Never understood how some people give up their basic rights to shelf defense .

Just for the hell of it I just ran the last 10 rounds that I had left in a magazine I was using two days ago.
DPMS AR 10
I have my own back yard range that is 40 yard and less as needed. I also have access to a 200 yard range across the highway from my house.

Personally, for me, I don’t see the need for a 50 round magazine...3 x 20 round mags as I carried in the Army gave me 10 rounds more and was easier to carry and reload...even better with the 30 round mags for the M16. That, plus it feeds the Mall Commando syndrome. I half expect to see Mall Commandos, staggering under the weight of, and with, massive pouches all over their chest, filled with 50 round mags...saying “why, because I can”.
From experience, the more rounds you have in a mag, the more likely you are to become complacent with shot placement...because you have plenty to have another crack. I think that’s why most single shot shooters tend to be bloody good shots...they only have one round with which to deliver the goods.
Having said that, just because I don’t feel I need a BIG magazine, I will never condemn those that are allowed them and want one...just not for me.

Vince ,,,,I take no offense in what you stated , I hate the mall commandos and the want-to-be Rambo types. Come next week I got my discharge papers 50-yrs. ago ,after friendly fire got my hearing busted ear drums w/blood . some idiots should never be able to pick a firearm up .
Some day when I win the lottery I'm gonna get me one of these
