California is a state with restrictions on magazine capacity.
Also, and this is a pet peeve when discussing this issue, please acknowledge the difference between a clip and a magazine, as it can cloud the issue. Accuracy helps when talking to the NRA types, as it at least shows you understand guns and ammo. The clip is a device used to store ammunition so it can be quickly loaded into a magazine or rifle, depending on the feed mechanism. The magazine is a device used to hold rounds (bullets) and acts as a feeding mechanism into the weapon. You can buy ammunition on a stripper clip that makes loading your magazine much quicker and easier, but you carry loaded magazines which makes reloading a quick process.
