How Many Americans Own AR-15 Style Rifles and Large-Capacity Magazines?

[The Annoyed Man]

I don’t own any 10-round mags for most of my semiauto rifles. I do have a handful of 10-round mags and a couple of 5-rounders for one of my bolt rifles.

i have used 10 round and 20 rounds in an AR10.
i found while hunting; the 20 round interfered with best aiming comfort the rifle in elevated perch
10 round did well and did not interfere with my elevated perch down to the piggies,


round capacity is totally dependent on perch location and aiming point to the piggies for me

I grew up mostly in rural Arkansas. Lived with my mother and maternal grandparents for a big portion of that.

When I bought my first AR15, my mother was visiting when it arrived at the gun shop and I asked if she wanted to go with me to pick it up. She hounded me the whole drive over about not needing one of "those" guns. How horrible it was. We left the gun shop and went to the range. I shot one 20rd magazine through it to try it out, and then handed it to her with another magazine. By the time she finished with that magazine she was hooked. She wanted her own.

And once more because it is truly important.

Well, the first problem with this is the use of the term "large-capacity magazine" or "high-capacity magazine" for what are NOT such magazines. They are STANDARD capacity magazines. And the biggest problem of all is that so many of our own numbers use those same incorrect anti-gun terms!!!! Unless an AR magazine holds 31 or more rounds IT ISN'T HIGH-CAPACITY. STOP USING THAT TERM. Every time you use it when speaking of a STANDARD capacity magazine the anti-gunners win. They've brainwashed you and converted you to their falsehoods. Words matter.

The antigun folks would not admit that in their LaLa dreams, any rifle bolt/semi-auto/shotgun feeding mag holding more than 3 rounds is large-cap magazine

Any long firearm more powerful than 22LR is called a high-powered rifle.

Of this, I have no doubt.
