lower capacity magazines. I have an idea, if you think there is a market for them invest some money and produce them yourself. I am sure if there is a market for lower capacity magazines someone will make them just like they started making the larger capacity magazines when they found a market. I have a Springfield XDM in 40 cal that has a 16 round magazine I am sure if they limited them to 15 they would either grandfather the old ones in or someone would make a 15 round magazine for them. I am a lifetime firearms owner and shooter and former NRA member that also left when they went nuts in the 80s and I agree 100% with the OP.

Fee? Just as long as it wasn't punitive, covering the cost of paperwork and administration, nope. Ikonoklast Mar 2013 #9

A Fee that YOU don't see as punitive, bvar22 Mar 2013 #15
