11. Where would you draw the line?

If I am forced to buy new magazines then so be it. It's a small inconvenience for a greater good.

They're talking ten rounds now, but certainly that will not be the end. At what point would regulation become a deal-breaker for you? Seven rounds, as in New York State? Five rounds, as for rifles in New York City? No semi-autos with detachable magazines? No semi-autos allowed? No repeating firearms at all, even manual ones? How many times have you heard the mantra that the Second Amendment only protects muzzle-loaders?

Some of these are already in force in some jurisdictions, while others have only been proposed. The degree to which they serve the greater good is arguable. When does the "small inconvenience" become a large one? When does the large one become intolerable?
