Say Uncle brought my attention to this interesting way to purchase a magazine repair kit
There are currently no federal restrictions on the sale of high capacity magazines, but several states do have their own restrictions. High capacity magazines can be disassembled into repair kits for shipment to states with high capacity magazine bans. This allows customers to repair magazines that they already legally own. There is a per magazine service charge for disassembling a magazine into a repair kit. Simply check the convert to repair kit box when adding the magazine to you shopping cart. A repair kit is a magazine that has been disassembled into parts and is to be used to rebuild a damaged magazine that the customer already legally owns. A repair kit normally consists of a magazine body, follower, spring, and floorplate. Exact contents will vary depending on type of magazine. It is important that these kits are only used to rebuild magazines that the customer already owns as any other use may be a violation of state law.

This is all getting back to the idiocy on magazine size, but first a word from my career. I write code. While I’ve not been working on projects lately with clear cut design documents, in the past I have. In every project, eventually you start coding according to the design plan and end up noticing a glaring issue with what you’re writing. 99 times out of 99, this can be traced back to the original thought process. Something in the design wasn’t well though out and conflicts with other portions (or simply does not work).
Another clear illustration of this is Sudoku. At some point, you deduce that a number belongs in a particular area. Later on, things start falling into place and then whammo! You find you’ve made an error somewhere and cannot continue on. You have to dismantle everything because somewhere, a base assumption is wrong.
The link above shows a failure in the design of the law meant to keep magazines of arbitrary capacity out of the hands of dangerous people by demanding that no new magazines of an arbitrary capacity can be purchased. The error is in the thinking that somehow you can limit access to arbitrarily limited capacity magazines while still allowing people to have magazines of said capacity. The only ‘logical’ step is to ban ALL magazines above an arbitrary number (but to do so shows the hand of the gun-banners) and even then, it’s trivial to obtain them from freer states. Criminals, not being ones to follow the law, have no issues using items our masters in the state capital demand we abstain from.
It all comes down to some simple, base assumptions. There is no loophole here. If you live in a less-free state and order repair parts for something you already own, no law is broken. And anyone who thinks parts to magazines are hard to come by and thus dampers criminal’s actions are deluded.
No, the true flaw is trying to regulate some item by arbitrary decisions (why not 9 rounds instead of 10?) instead of focusing on the true causes for crime and violence. The base assumption here is that magazine capacity limits crime. Everything forward of that is also faulty.
It’s easier to pick on the law abiding and say you’re ‘doing something’, though.
Based on data I've seen on Joe's website, a shooter can fire six to eight bullets per second from a semi-automatic Glock.
Also, you don't have to aim shooting into a crowd.
You have found a suitable crowd of people. You could shoot wildly into the crowd, but some--probably most--of those bullets will miss and you want to be remembered for a huge body count. A more effective way to do this is to take aim and fire at as many individuals within the crowd as possible. It doesn't do to shoot anyone much more than twice. Also, for the sake of argument, assume everyone is catatonic--i.e. not moving.
5. In crowds, aim is only important if you are only trying to kill specific people; otherwise, volume of fire takes its own toll.
1. You have the rest of your life to reload. 2. It doesn't matter how much ammo is in the magazine, as long as you have a steady supply to reload.
