a right that is licensed isn't a right.
Cool platitude?
We have a right to free speech but that right has certain limitations, no? I have a right to petition the government for a redress of my grievances but I can't simply walk into the Oval Office and rattle of my litany of grievances to POTUS do I?
I can go on.
I am all for magazine restrictions.
I don't need a thirty round mag to go hunting.
I can understand the want to have one for self defense but just having a gun and one round should do the trick.
If it doesn't than hit the range.

TBH, if i wanted to go on a shooting rampage, the magazine size wouldn't matter at all. I can pop a new mag in and chamber a round in maybe a second and a half. Meanwhile, after I get through mowing through 60 rounds my muzzle will be hot enough that it may not fire.
Thats the thing: magazine capacity restrictions don't really consider the reality, only the theory.

a reply to: seagull I have been in 3 life or death situations. Only one did I need a gun. And from my experience needing more that one round was plenty. Next time you go around assuming you know what someone has dealt with.....don't

It has now got to a personal level that I don't want to get into.
I take it you are the guy that just learned how to fast load a double and now think anyone that doesn't wants to take yours away.

They do not care about facts. Their feelings says guns are bad, because they "HATE" Guns.
Their feelings say guns are bad because tens of thousands of innocent women, men, and children keep getting slaughtered in mass shootings.

So based off your supposed one experience, you can definitively state that if you need more than one round in a gunfight you need to go to the range more?
That's some pretty hardcore data man.
