Why not ban anything but muskets then? IIRC the wording is "shall not be infringed." Funny how that doesn't matter if it's about guns, but, even though abortion appears nowhere in the Constitution, people scream that same right exists for that. Or how "shall enjoy the right to counsel" now means a free public defender at taxpayer expense.
Why couldn't you charge that guy with violating CA's ban on mags of over 10 rounds? Didn't he have some of those for his rifles? There are probably 5x as many hi-cap. magazines in circulation as there are semi-auto guns. Why do you think banning them would take a single one out of circulation? I'm a moderate and I'd never turn one of mine in.
