the poor 30 round clip

Heard on talk radio today - the defense of the 30 round clip for pistols. The argument was basically that it is silly to outlaw such clips as it will not deter criminals from their use. Ok, a variation on the tautology "when guns are criminalized only criminals will have guns." Never the less the eradication of legal access to such things as extended clips is a step toward sanity. If we can't stop a behavior at least we can take steps to make such behavior difficult. Allowing easy access to things is different that stopping access. We as members of a society have an obligation one to another to provide safety for each other. Any action that we take to improve our mutal safety and security while maintaining respect for the individual is one that I applaud.

Question- Does the right to keep and bear arms mean I can mount a mini gun on my Subaru?
