Typical Kali argument. Should we ban ARs as well because they don't serve a "hunting" purpose? Mag capacity has nothing to do with protection against civillian threats.....
Although, consider a dollar crash incident, la riot type incident, or communist brown short confiscators? Heck, try hog control in Texas with only 10 rds in your AR.
Live and let live. If we didn't have criminal safe zones, we wouldn't have mass shootings at schools, post offices, and movie theaters in liberal states. George Washington said, " "A free people ought not only to be armed and disciplined, but they should have sufficient arms and ammunition to maintain a status of independence from any who might attempt to abuse them, which would include their own government."
And also, ""The very atmosphere of firearms anywhere and everywhere restrains evil interference - they deserve a place of honor with all that's good"

I think you missed his point. He is not saying that everyone should have only 10 round mags, his point is that 10 rounds is enough for the vast majority of civilian self defense scenarios. And I agree with that.
Now of course, there are situations where more than 10 is better. I think hog hunting is a great example. You will see none all night, then come up on a pack of them. At that time, you better have quite a few rounds in the mag if you are hunting with a 223.
But this is off topic anyway. The point is that hypothetically, if they ban 10+ round mags, is that a shot in the arm for the 45ACP? </div></div>
I didn't miss his point at all. Most people don't need a big V8 to get to work and back, so let's put regulations and taxes or bans on big V8s. Most people don't need more than 16 oz. In a cup, so let's ban that. You see how this works?
I have an FNX45, specifically for, among other things, the 15 round magazine. Some states, like the PRC, already have 10 round mag limits. Are .45s the vast majority or pistol purchases? I would venture to say no. For the most part, people are going to continue with the calibers they have, and pick the tool for the job.
