I can think of no reason why 10 round magazines couldn't be made for Brownings, Smith 59s and such. They couldn't be shorter than stock but they could be made to only hold 10 rounds. I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I'm sure it's possible.

Hey, now when some other store orders more of the models he destroyed the workers at the plant get paid to make replacements.

Whether what he did made more sense than returning them to the factory is a valid question, but I think what is important is he followed his conscience.

thom ten round magazines ARE made for those guns. I am surprised you did not know that. But as a gun owner surely you must agree to two valid points.

1. More cartridges in a magazine do not turn a gun owner into a maniacal murderer.

2. Magazines, no matter the capacity can be changed very quickly. Even if the magazines were limited to five cartridges a murderer could carry ten magazines of five cartridges.

You own semi auto pistols as I recall. Will you be turning in your magazines that are over ten cartridges?

But the destruction was an attention getting stunt. Because he has to know that the factory can make more. And he just tossed millions of dollars as a publicity stunt. I hope every penny was his own money. If it was corporation money than a bunch of stock holders have a righteous reason to be unhappy with him. His own money he can waste anyway he wants, corporate money is not his to waste.

You are presuming. You could be right but you are claiming to know what another person was thinking.

I don't disagree with either point. It has been years since I have owned a gun. I have never owned a browning or a model 59 (I think they carry a different designation today) and I'm not aware of any other high capacity pistols back then, though there may have been. I wasn't aware of ten round magazines for either but I'll take your word for it. Not owning a high capacity wasn't a matter of conscience, I was looking at 39's when the 59 came out and I thought of it, but things came up. I'm not trying to take your guns. I don't understand why you have so many, but I don't have to. I want serious study into our current problem, and if studies show that serious restrictions on gun ownership will make us safer I will support that. We aren't there at this point. If I owned a pistol with a large capacity magazine today and it was outlawed I would get rid of it. Whether I would have back when I owned guns I really don't know. I do believe more gun control is coming. If I were a gun owner I would want some input as to what such laws look like. For gun owners to refuse to come to the table is not in their best interest, in my opinion. Many of the arguments gun rights proponents put forward are crap (again, in my opinion) but many who are anti gun display plenty of ignorance. I don't like the idea of laws being passed based on emotion (changing the legal limit from .1 to .08 for instance) but most laws are passed based on emotion.

You did notice I didn't make it absolute as to whose money and if he didn't want any attention to what he did why did he say he did it to the media?

Notice he’s done nothing to prevent illegal purchases which should be the problem.

His share holders should vote to remove him. Infringing on rights. Destroying company assets, financial irresponsibility.

And he lies. He does not sell assault rifles. Even the military is moving away from assault rifles.

So much for the firearm ignorant.

I am reading everyone’s thoughts on gun control and/or shooter control but I haven’t read anything about the Second Amendment to our Constitution. That hurdle must be cleared or our right to own a gun/guns will be guaranteed. That pesky Constitution seems to often get in our way.
