High-Powered Magazine

Two passengers were arrested Monday in Newark Airport after Transportation Security Administration officers caught an assault rifle with a high-powered magazine and an arsenal of ammunition — all illegal in the state — “artfully concealed” behind the lining of a suitcase.

I want a high-powered magazine. How has life taken me this far in the gun world without knowing about high-powered magazines?

I am so old, I remember when “The Economist” and “Scientific American” were high powered magazines.

Could be talking about Guns ‘n Ammo.

I know it’s not American Rifleman. That’s low power and low rent.

Without meaning to distract from the absurdity and threat to freedom implied in the report – note Newark Airport is in New Jersey (currently run by a Masshole educated at Wharton and Harvard, and owned by Goldman Sachs) not NY (land of Fredo’s whinny brother).

@Sisu,

Yes, I know, I thought about that, but the news report is NY. So I have to decide on the simple things nightly.

High-powered magazines should only be used in highly compensated rifles.

I’m sorry for not knowing this, but how much is an arsenal of ammo?

@Rib,

Whatever the MSM says it is based on the words cited by the public relations spokewoman at the local PD.

@Rib, an arsenal is less about the amount of munitions than the modality of operation. Arsenals issue ammo and weapons to a militia, armies, navies, or what have you. It’s a storage, accounting, and distribution point. They can be quite small, as in a destroyer’s Ship’s Self Defense Force weapons locker for example.
