    Hi Gimp, dont want to hijack the present thread, but just wanted to say I totally agree with you!

    I consider you and Beavis as the two AR15 forum 'gurus', i always take note of your comments in AR threads

    My opinion in the thread was over the easy accessibility of 'high cap mags' and the fact anybody
    can get one, in other words, you dont need an 'E cat FAL' to purchase one!

    Im as pissed off as anybody about having to either, sell my AR if it becomes 'E cat' or spend extra
    dosh to get to 'E cat' security....

    Popular culture has caused the 'big two' of AK47 & AR15 to be 'demonised' by government & law enforcement
    but as you know they only become 'mass killing' machines with 20 or 30 rd mags in them

    My NEA 15 is presently in full 'sporting configuration' and i have a 'monsterman grip' as back up to hopefully
    beat the law change.....unless of course the government NOT the police make all AR15s E cat....

    cheers Scouser

    They certainly don't Tussock. Firearms owners are the only thing that make firearms dangerous and only a minority of them at best.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    I watched a shooting event the other day and I saw how fast the competitors could change out a mag, at that point I felt the round limitation was is a bit pointless really

    Yea pretty much. I've got like 13? Can't even remember 5 and 7 round AK mags that I accumulated when I could get them cheap. That gives me basically the fire power of 3 30 round mags. SKS is another good example. with a 7 round fixed mag and a pile of loaded stripper clips that's heaps of rounds you could put out. Mag restrictions start to look silly fast. I guess they're already undermined by the fact you can go and buy 30 round mags and you don't even need a license...

    I agree DAF, but im talking about the fuckwits/nutters/deathwish arseholes who go 'postal' in the good old US of A.......

    A british RSM holds the world record for hitting a dinner plate sized gong at 300 yards using a 303 Lee Enfield in one minute.....38 shots!

    but im not talking about that.....im talking about LEGISLATION TO PROHIBIT ANYONE PURCHASING A 'HI-CAP MAG' UNLESS THEY HAVE AN E-CAT FAL

    If your A cat AR15 (like mine) is for hunting or target shooting, then you are only allowed a 7 rd cap mag.............
