The kick in the teeth, is we're talking standard magazines. Magazines that come with the gun when you buy it. Only in three or so of the states do firearms come with substandard or limited capacity magazines. California being one of those states with magazine capacity limited to 10. The rest of the country gets the standard magazine.
Say for instance you want to buy a Beretta 92FS. In the majority of the country, it comes packaged with two 15 round magazines. This is the standard magazine. Despite media and political portrayal, these are not "hich capacity". They are standard capacity; and if i want more, I can simply go down to my local outdoorsman or gunstore and buy some for no more trouble then the drive it takes to get to the store.
Now, compare that to my relatives in law enforcement in California. Their job is to enforce the law and keep the bad guys at bay so ordinary people can have peaceful lives. So restrictive is that state, that the people whos job entails carrying these items every day, as tools of the profession, can't get standard magazines as readily as people can in most of the country. That's just retarded.
