The point that I think the OP was making is that an AK-47 can empty its 30-round magazine in 5-10 seconds. Your SKS can only hold, what, 10 rounds? So you would have reload twice in the same amount of time. It's also not fully automatic so would take longer to empty.

That being said, it seems like the panic that's caused lets people reload plenty.
Nope sks is non restricted. I know exactly what point he is making, I'm pointing out that broad generalizations such as assault rifles means nothing. Mag capacity has nothing to do with it being as assault rifle (or my girlfriends rem 597 with a 50rd mag would be one....right?). That is just a functional limit on rounds held at once, not how many mags you can carry....and reloading time on pistols is short if well practiced. As for fully auto vs semi, we aren't talking a gun with Uzi speed firing here....which by the way need reloading way faster so that's a limitation as well......
