also while theyre at ir ban sharp pencils i love the US but your gov is a bunch of spastics

Knee jerk response from people who are completely ignorant on the subject.

Some, like Carolyn McCarthy, were just waiting for something like this to happen.

AWWWW We did this one already...


I know it's gonna scare the resident Anti's who are beyond understanding the simple mechanics of sidearms.

IIRCC There's video ( I wish I could find) on youtube Where a competent shooter demonstates the difference between a standard 7 round and extra capacity11round (?) .45acp magazine by shooting a "course of fire of 11 (target backers with one balloon taped to each). The targets were linedup on either sideof an aisle one after another.

Theshooter advanced down the lane shooting one target after another advancing a couple of steps between each alternating right and left. With a common stock 1911 style handgun.

After the seventh round the shooter completed a magazine change (reload).and completed the course. Next Time he used the single 11round hi-cap magazine ( 10 rounds is considered "hi -capacity":10+ 1 could stand in for 15; 20or 30) ( no reload necessary to "get" all 11 targets.)

The time difference between the two runs run was less than one second between hi cap and stock magazines All 11 targets were "engaged" both times.After the last target the 11round magazine was empty . completing the the other run the gun was 4rounds into a second magazine leaving the gun charged with 3 round.The point being counting bullets in a magazine is as ridiculous as legislating pistol grips and"barrel shrouds"( "military looking" dress up items).

Yes this is truly a waste of "we the people" time and money... asinine at best...a futile attempt to fool the public eye into seeing our congress' intelligence and compassion (seemingly for "their own") by making laws for societies safety.. gimme a break.. whats the difference between a 33rd mag, to 3 or 4 10rd mags.. other than it takes approximately 1.5 seconds to drop 1 then insert another... please congress, do your job right, or dont do it at all.. find it in yourself to say i'm unable to do this most inportant job and find someone who can... im sure many citizens would have great respect for such actions..

They might manage to push it through the Senate, given the Dem majority, but I still think it stands no chance in the GOP controlled House. I don't even think it'll make it to a floor vote.

And just to note, Lautenberg, like McCarthy (the author of the House version), is also an anti-gunner who has pushed several failed gun bans in the last few years. Their history will likely contribute to the failure of this particular attempt, simply because everyone knows what their real agenda is and that they're just attempting to capitalize on a tragedy.

I see the gun lobby is in full force.

While I support gun ownership. and I don't think that large magazines should be banned in any way, I believe that responsible gun ownership should be left to the responsible, and not every single nutcase and wackjob out there.

I have read posts by some gun supporters that make me question whether or not these people are even mature enough to handle a firearm.

Probably a good idea to loose these things

Go on were're listening:
because?:
We already had a lunatic on the "loose" this week: I take it you meant we should "lose" pistol magazines that hold more than 10 rounds? 8rounds? In the military I carried a 1911 pistol with 3 govt provided 7round magazines So 8 would be hi-capacity? I have privately bought and own a 1911 style pistol which came from the factory with 8 round magazines.)

So 10 in the gun makes it especially evil?
