The same argument for 30 round mags can be used against 30 round mags.
99.99999% of the time, in the US, magazine size doesnt matter. It is extremely rare for a home invasion to be done by more than 2-3 people. Police statistics show that it is extremely rare for a gunfight between 2 or 3 individuals last more than 5-10 shots before someone is either dead, or has run away. Modern, urban gunfights in American are very quick, very violent, very SHORT. Look at police gunfights. A magazine change on a 15 round Glock (most commonly carried police pistol) is very rare in a police gunfight. Its usually over after the first few shots.
So, if you are a random US citizen, and have a 30 round mag, and get into a gunfight, it is extremely likely that it'll be over by your 5th or 6th shot.
And the same can be said for a criminal. It is extremely rare that a criminal uses more than 5-10 shots in a crime using a gun. The mass shootings, as bad as they are, are statistically very rare.
We dont live in a domestic war zone (thank God, thank the military, thank the police). Therefore, the need for a 30 round magazine by the common citizen is almost non-existent......HOWEVER, the USE of a 30 round mag, or, the firing of over 10 rounds...by a criminal, is also very rare.
So, banning a 30 round mag will do little to nothing to affect crime, and banning them would do little to nothing to affect personal defense.
30 round mags are a literal non-issue. So, like weed, I say DO NOT ban them, because it's just one more ******* thing our already understaffed and underfunded police have to worry about enforcing.
