'High-Capacity' Magazines: Get 'em While They're Cheap
by AWR Hawkins 29 Oct 2013, 1:19 PM PDT
While prices on firearms and ammunition have fallen quite a bit from the highs reached during Senator Joe Manchin's (D-WV) gun control push earlier this year, the prices on "high-capacity" magazines have fallen even further--and at some outlets have hit rock bottom.
For example, 30-round AR-15 and AK-47 magazines that would have cost $50 to $80 or more January through March can now be had online for $9 to $30. And if you want to go into a store and buy them so you can get them right now and avoid paying the shipping on them, you can still get them for $16 to $34.
Contrary to anti-gun rhetoric, these 30-round magazines are practical for a homeowner who lives in an high-crime area or in a place where home invasions are common. A homeowner with a 10-round magazine is easily outgunned by two invaders who are each armed, and he is at a horrible disadvantage if he faces three armed invaders.
In these scenarios a "high capacity" magazine can literally be life saver.
