The more ammo the better for self-defense

I find it interesting that The Herald presented nearly identical articles against high-capacity magazines on Feb. 28 and March 1. The Feb. 28 editorial states in one paragraph that “Large capacity magazines are the accessory of choice for most mass shooters.” Then, in a later paragraph you state “Nor do large-capacity magazines offer much in the way of utility in terms of hunting or self-defense.” Really? Why is a high capacity magazine an advantage for the mass shooter, who has already broken most of the laws intended, (unsuccessfully, no less) to prevent anyone and everyone from using a firearm in an anti-social manner, yet is not an advantage for someone who abides by the laws in defense of his home, self and family and will most likely never use a firearm illegally?

As far as I’m concerned, the only time you can have too much ammo is if it’s going to overload your boat and cause it to sink!
