Now your complaint that my mags carry 3 more rounds than yours may have some validity. But in the big picture, I really do not think it matters.
you may not think it matters out of ignorance it doesnt change the fact you are privileged.
your so called 3 more rounds I couldnt care less. you see 3 rounds. for a pistol. me I see 90 rounds for a rifle. how do you feal bout that. the common citizen is restricted by 90 rounds vs leo with m4 and 100 round magazine. little high and unlikely in most situations how about more realistic 20 rounds. sure preban are around for most guns 30 rounds. pretty old used and high in price and we got LEO's buying them up instead of buying LEO only junk driving prices up more so than the mere law has already done.
in my state LEO/military can use short barreled rifles/shotguns and have fullauto. not one citizen that is not a FFL dealer can own one despite the federal regulations. background check,finger prints,$200 tax and months of waiting. we dont get the privilege. yet that doesnt matter to you cause it doesnt affect you. so go ahead sit on your HighHorse. I am not anti LEO I am against breaking the constitution of the state I live in so a class can get its privilege.
