I've read the thread on how not to sound like an insensitive moron when debating about magazine capacity limits, but my brother and I got into a bit of a debate on this.
His claim was that people don't need them for self defense and they only cause more harm than good. I tried to point out that the 1994 AWB as well as a majority of shootings (including Columbine and Va Tech) were not committed with weapons with high capacity magazines.
He's not anti-gun per se, and doesn't believe in the confiscation of firearms. He does, however, believe that standard capacity magazines should be banned. There are probably threads on this and I apologize if I missed any, but any advice on what can be said here?
