The big question is, why does anyone even need a high capacity magazine ? Made to one thing, kill lots of people in a hurry.
Oh, yeah, because gun lovers want them and have that right.
People like you are exactly why 2nd amendment supporters have absolutely ZERO desire or incentive to 'compromise' on gun control. You're totally irrational and ignorant about the subject but sure you have a solution.
You aren't biased in that respect. Politicians have been on a law making binge and it needs to stop! These laws do nothing to protect anyone, and only hurt law abiding citizens who one day were well within the law and the next felons, by no fault of their own.
It is estimated that there are more than 6M newly minted felons in CA now... much to the glee of the entire legal system that minted them.
Under New York law, possessing an "ammunition feeding device" capable of holding more than 10 rounds is a felony carrying a maximum penalty of seven years in prison.
Apparently, he wasn't following the law, and he took his chances and lost.
Laws are laws, don't break them unless you are willing to take the punishment.
Of course he is not going to get 21 years.
Hopefully you feel the same way about our immigration laws.
I agree with you. Veteran status doesn't change the fact that laws were broken, likely knowingly. He may not have known the penalty. Then again a lot of speeders get nabbed and they didn't know what the fines would be before hand either.
I'm a gun owner and I'll say it here and now. It pays to obey the laws. That marginal fun that the high capacity magazine might deliver isn't worth what this guy is facing now.

Sadly, we've been a fascist nation for many years now, totally in love with telling others what they can and can't do by making laws on top of laws on top of existing laws ad nauseam.

The meaning of "LAW" is a written definition of common sense. Laws like this are not common sense.
Maybe we just let everyone decide what is "common sense", we can do away with laws and just let everyone do their own thing.
