A High Capacity Magazine Rant

About this video

Colion defends his video demonstrating a 33-round magazine and pushes back against calls to remove it due to concerns it might frighten those already fearful of high-capacity magazines. He argues that magazine capacity bans are illogical, ineffective at reducing violence, and part of a slippery slope toward broader gun bans. Colion maintains that an attacker’s lethality depends on the individual, not magazine size, and points to the Aurora theater shooting as an example where a high-capacity magazine actually jammed and may have saved lives.

Key takeaways

• Colion believes magazine capacity bans rest on faulty logic and represent a slippery slope toward total gun prohibition
• According to Colion, an attacker’s effectiveness is determined by the individual, not by how many rounds their magazine holds
• Colion points out that the Aurora theater shooter’s 100-round magazine jammed, suggesting high-capacity magazines can malfunction and potentially limit harm
