Plastic deformation in a spring occurs when you apply too much stress to the spring. This stress occurs by repeated elastic deformation and elongation beyond the yield point. It would also lose strength if you heated it with fire.
It makes no difference whether your spring is in a loaded magazine or an empty one. Technically speaking using the magazine weakens the spring, but you would need to load and empty one literally thousands of times before it would experience fatigue failure.
What future?
The American government is, without hyperbole, following the same path of the uprise of Nazi Germany and "whites" are the undesirable race in the same position as the jews.
Muslims have invaded every white Christian country with the goal of out-reproducing the natives. Traditional society has been bastardized into normalizing abortion, homosexuality, body mutilation
American farmland is being bought up by satanic eugenists and communists.
The American diet no longer consists of meat, fruit, and vegetables. It's been replaced by sugar, genetically modified corn, soy, and artificially created chemicals.
The American means of production has been systematically shipped overseas.
American energy production is being stymied by a fraudulent executive branch while they fund the energy production of the greatest terrorist organization of the past several decades.
The American public is willingly placing themselves under the boot of a worldwide cabal by signing up for gene therapy of which evidence suggests installs a vulnerability to future mutated viruses.
American men are no longer permitted to be men.
He stepped out of the vehicle. One cop was cuffing him. Cop with the camera was watching it.

Important thing to note for people thinking about things like "going a month without groceries."
There are seasons to consider. You stockpile during times of abundance, you take from your stock when times are lacking.
You don't have to be a "#DoomsdayPrepper" to stock, from a grocery store even, 3-6 months worth of nonperishables.
If shit ever hits the fan and trucks stop rolling, they'll roll again in the future. But what are the odds shit will hit the fan when your local wildlife are active and easily hunted? You've got low odds it will be during harvest time.
Have food and water on hand, if you ever have to transition back to hunting/gathering, have the sustenance to carry you through to that point in time.
You don't have to build up a pantry all in one trip. Say you need mustard, well, buy two on your next trip. From then on, whenever you need mustard, buy it, but use the one in the pantry and shelve the new one.
Also, Spices and condiments go a loooong way to making shitty situations feel better when you're hungry and you've had the same food 6 days in a row.
You approach the entire subject not only with a failed premise but with this incorrect assumption that you're being methodical and you're not. Because, at the very start, your assumption MUST have been that the truth is somewhere in the middle between two extremes. While this is usually the case, it is not the foundation upon which you set your belief of what is and is not true.
The term "Wild speculation" is also disingenuous. The claims are "wild" because the actions the bad actors have taken were drastic. The claims themself are supported by evidence because they are true. The fraud is what is wild and unbelievable. That was the whole point. They were so brazen BECAUSE they intended to say "that's ridiculous, no one would do that."
Oh, Oh, I've got it. They can swap back and forth! From.. nonbinary.. to.. binary.. Which means they're evil cis whatevers when they're binary, right? So, they have to be siths? But only temporarily. Then you've got your intrigue, your uneasy alliances, the plot just writes itself.
Fuck Star Wars.
You don't need an armory but build up to about a thousand rounds and cycle through your oldest boxes first when you go to the range. It goes very very fast
