The problem is, Spats, that common citizens are not trustworthy with hi-cap magazines. It's a sign they are imminently unstable and likely to kill rampantly, because CA legislators "know" (as do other savants) that will be the result. These wonderful people are saving us proles from ourselves.

Now, police, they need whatever they can get to suppress "the threat". To include motor officers in my area carrying M4 carbines on their bikes, 30 round mag inserted and, no doubt, more available. Suspects, law-abiding until found out by government, need suppression. Criminals don't care about laws (which is why they used to be called "outlaws"). So they get hi-cap magazines which police have to have to even the field.

Citizens? Why should they be on an even field? They are the sheep we of the political class manage.
