He is entitled to his opinion, but I disagree with him. His book, One Ranger, is a pretty good read and he was at the NRA convention last year.

In my opinion, his ideas regarding weapon capacity is a generational thing for some. In his book, he describes himself as someone who always worked with firearms, but was not a "gun person". They were implements of his trade, and he was still carrying a 1911 and a Winchester rifle into the early 90's when on duty.

Many people view "high capacity" as any handgun that carries more than +/- 7 rounds (revolver and 1911) or a rifle that carries more than 10 rounds (M1 Garand). These definitions are a carryover from the WWII generation that have been reinforced for the last 50+ years by the media.
