In this case, it's a 10-round cap on magazines. Some here see that as an infringement upon the so-called right to self-defense. Is it the number or the cap itself that is the issue? The government has a compelling interest to set such a cap. Would a 30-round cap be okay? I want to understand some of the reasoning here.
the biggest issue, to me at least, with the 10rd limit is that many/most hand guns come standard with a magazine larger than that. They are commonly used for lawful self defense purposes. I'd have a problem with a 30rd limit too, but my arguments wouldn't be as good/easy.
