Or pulling a trigger.

Really, Frank, why is ten rounds more arbitrary than my six?

You mean why is it less arbitrary, and the answer is because it will make far fewer people in to felons. Holding onto Grandpa’s 1911 or Garand isn’t viewed as a crime. It’s easy to comply with, especially if there’s an exception for tubular mag rimfire lever action rifles. Ten is actually doable whereas six turn reasonable, responsible gun owners into the opposition. If that’s what you want, fine. Living in California, red staters already view us as another country, and getting them to comply with the same ten round capacity restriction California has will be hard enough of a fight. Six rounds is practically and politically impossible.
