I always like to throw the argument back at people who think high capacity magazines should be banned. I ask them, "Why 10 rounds?" They look at me puzzled. Then I ask them, "Why not 6, or 4? Why not 1? Who decided 10 was enough? What was the science used to determine that 10 was just the right amount?"

I'm not sure where the quote is, but Charles Krauthammer once pointed out that conditioning people that a 10-round magazine limit is an excellent precursor to conditioning people that guns should be confiscated and tightly controlled. The whole point is to get the general populace to accept "concessions of safety" and it then becomes easy to further extend those concessions.
