Report: Americans Own over 700 Million Ammo Mags with Greater Than 10-Round Capacity​

A report from the National Shooting Sports Foundation (NSSF) indicates Americans own over 700 million ammunition magazines with a greater than ten-round capacity.

NSSF’s Detachable Magazine Report (1990-2021) found an estimated total of 963,772,000 ammunition magazines in circulation. Of those, an estimated 717,900,000 have a capacity of greater than ten rounds.
These findings led NSSF to point out that magazine capacity of greater then ten rounds is “standard” in America. Moreover, “46 percent of the magazines estimated in this study are rifle magazines with 30+ round capacity.”

And?

Should we count the boolits in circulation too?

That's only 3 mags per person... Not enough in my book! When SHTF you don't want to need be reloading mags! Lol

The point isn't number of magazines in circulation. It's that the vast majority are 'standard capacity '. That means they can't be (shouldn't be) banned.

Glock 17 round mags in a G17 are standard.

To get 10 rounders you have to specifically look for the optional SKU version that come with 10. 10 is not standard 17 is, 10 is optional.

Most every pistol is like this including rifles. It just shows how incredibly stupid our politicians and bureaucrats, judges are.

Just remember these are the high position people at the atf who claim they are experts and act as witness and drive policy changes.

Less than that if you subtract the number of standard capacity mags in Places I have been known to stash things.

a good rule of thumb for guns with magazines is 20 magazines per gun. Some of you need to catch up.

Pfffttt. Unlikely.

Lower courts and states ignore Bruen on a daily basis without repercussion.

It will come someday. It might be 5-10 years from now but that’s why this next election is so very important. Lower courts ignore it but will the Supreme Court? There’s a suit working its way through the courts now from CA I think.
Also don’t forget an Obama judge just said illegals can have guns even though they are citizens or resident aliens. This could be a big win for us.

I sure would like to taste freedom again, but some folks my age will likely not ever live long enough to see it happen.
Such a damn shame that our tax funds that WE ARE FORCED TO PAY THEM, are used against our own freedoms.

Why will yet another SCOTUS ruling mean anything? Liberal states like New York, California, and Colorado are already flouting the NYSRPA v Bruen ruling and are pushing ever more restrictive, and unconstitutional, gun control laws.

Liberals do not care about the law. They will not care about the law until they, personally, are forced to care.

The main problem is, there are NO repercussions for passing unconstitutional laws.
They have UNLIMITED funds to fight us, because we continue to allow them to use all the funds they want, to beat us.

If SCOTUS grows a pair and issues a contempt charge, they might.

Governors and legislators have no immunity from those FWIW.

THAT IS THE PROBLEM! It takes no time for liberal tyrants to pass unconstitutional laws. They know that they will lose in court...eventually. But, each new "law" resets the clock for them and deprives law-abiding citizens of their rights for another decade.

We need penalties for politicians that pass illegal statutes. But, we'll NEVER get that.

FIFY
Before they became illegal and I moved them all to Alabama, I had 0.0000001% of that number. ;)

I highly doubt we`ll see THAT ever happen. Corrupt governments are usually ALL in bed together.
Kings & Queens in their castles piss from the high towers above us down upon us peasants.
