[edit] Cleanup

This page appears to use the description of a large capacity magazine in almost a sarcastic way. In my opinion it is very biased to one side of the issue.

Quotes like: "Thus a magazine made prior to the 1994 ban and holding 12 rounds of ammunition is deemed dangerous, while its post-ban counterpart which holds 10 rounds is completely safe." are disingenuous. I've seen no evidence that people who support such magazine size restrictions would consider 10 rounds a magic cut off with larger sizes a public danger while smaller is "completely safe".

This article should be cleaned up to describe what a large capacity magazine is and explain the controversy from both points of view rather than just one.

A link to "Gun Politics" would also go a long way in helping make this NPOV.

You may not have seen evidence, but that's what the law is saying, isn't it? Otherwise, why put a number on what's unacceptable?
Re the merge: do it. This doesn't rise to the level of a new article. Trekphiler (talk) 23:35, 29 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Not a Wiktionary candidate

This is just a concatenation of the three words "large", "capacity", and "magazine". And note that the article as it stands isn't a dictionary article describing a phrase, but is an encyclopaedia article actually describing large capacity magazines the things. Aecarol makes a suggestion for expansion above, note. Uncle G 22:38, 2005 Mar 27 (UTC)
