Optics Planet no longer selling > 10RD Mags to the "General Public" (Read 3849 times)

Optics Planet has changed their policy regarding any magazine over 10 rounds.  If you aren't part of the government against which the Second Amendment was written to protect, they won't sell to you.

X-Products Owner James Malarkey Thinks The Magazines He Sells Should Be Restricted By Law

http://soldiersystems.net/tag/x-products/

“Instead of outright banning it, allow people to have some kind of licensing,” he said. “I think it would weed out a lot of crime.”

Malarkey refers to firearms ownership as a privilege. It’s not. Firearms ownership is a right, endowed by the Creator and secured in the Bill of Rights.

He sets out a set of hoops for citizens to jump through in order to own firearms. They are akin to the poll taxes and tests instituted by local and state governments to prevent certain segments of the population from exercising their constitutional right to vote.

Sure it would, because "a lot" of crimes have been committed with your 50 round drum mags...  :crazy:

Has anyone ordered anything from them?  Their prices are always considerably higher than anyone else that I've never used them. 

If there are 300,000,000+ guns in the us there has to be a several billion magazines.  Before I left oregon I had so many that I lost count.  I think I had 6 full sized cardboard boxes of AR and AK mags that I left with my son.  I had 50 20 round mags for my PTR-91 because I got them on sale for $1 each.    I could have probably burned glock mags for heat every winter for a decade and still had some left over.   

anyway.  good job optics planet, you are making such an impact.   :crazy:

I agree, they seem to be overpriced considering they're an online retailer.  I've never ordered from them.  I've found better/same prices at LGS or other online sites.

I've ordered quite a few things from them when they had sales.  The shipping is reasonable, and sometimes they have things you can't find in stock elsewhere when you need it.  I've also ordered items they sell through Amazon so I could get free Prime shipping.

I would reccomend Gunmagwarehouse.com
The first time I tried ordering StdCap mags from them, their website restricted sale to HI. I emailed them and they fixed it the next day. prices & shipping are good too.

D&H Tactical has great AR-15 USGI-style aluminum mags. $7.99 each. Bought many times from them via palmetto state armory. Kinda wished they had basic USPS Priority instead of UPS Ground to Hawaii though.

Their Pmags, like a lot of their stuff on their website are constantly out of stock tho.

I've already been ordering from that site.  I wasn't the one trying to buy mags at Optics Planet.  I just borrowed the email screen shot from the guy who did and looked up the other information on the OP site.
