response to Island_Watcher:  First, you assume way too much. I
don't fear an AR-15 per se, and I completely agree that limiting
magazines doesn't make any semi-automatic weapon less lethal. In
my opinion, limiting magazine capacity would be 98% symbolic. I
allow 2% for actual safety because I have seen enough Rambo-
types in action at the range and in the woods to convince me
that some people lack proper respect for guns, and limiting
their craziness just might make things safer for everyone else.

you are still wrong.  Senate bill 5737 uses the following
language:  So if its “capable” of accepting an external magazine
