I agree, large capacity detachable magazines aren't necessary for anything but the military-however, I have a semi-auto .22 rifle with a 16 round tube magazine that is a good target shooter-but it takes awhile to refill the magazine when it is empty, unlike a weapon with a detachable box magazine, which can be reloaded quickly to facilitate more mayhem. Hunters are already limited to 5 round detachable box magazines, anyway. Also, here in California it is a 10 day wait while background checks are being done before you can pick up your firearm, not 48 hours-and you have to have a Basic Firearms Safety Certificate, which you must pass a written test to get.
