That is the point of this G.U.D, I do not want to have to turn in my guns. None of them hold 10 rounds or more. If we gun rights supporters do not have the smarts to realize that Assault weapons and large capacity magazines are going to turn the public against us if we can not seperate legitimate sporting and target shooting arms from military grade weapons in what we choose to publicly defend, we will see more restrictions than needed. The 2nd amendment, as I have pointed out, does not say or do what many gun owners think it says or does as is obvious by the posts indicating it is there to protect the citizenry from government overreach. That is simply not true nor does any reading of "old English" make it so. We shooters are dependent on the public good will to continue the open gun ownership rights we now enjoy. I for one want to assure the public gun owners are responsible and do not want the nuts who used to have only knives (see Hamilton above) to get ahold of an AR-15 or 23 with a high capacity magazine. We all agree to some gun type restriction, automatic weapons, exploding shells, hand grenades are something we all agree we do not want the crazy neighbor who is screaming angry about whose trash can sits where to have. This slippery slope argument is nonproductive as we already have many arms we have no right to bear.
