In reply to the discussion: The 10-round magazine fantasy [View all]spin
(17,493 posts)17. Lots of posters on DU have mention that they want ...
to prohibit, ban and confiscate all firearms. A large number have stated that the AWB would be a "good first step."
Gun owners have long memories and they remember Dianne Feinstein who co-authored the first AWB and is now pushing for the updated and improved version, when she appeared on 60 minutes:
Discussing why the 1994 act only prohibited the manufacture or import of assault weapons, instead of the possession and sale of them, Feinstein said on CBS-TV's 60 Minutes, February 5, 1995, "If I could have gotten 51 votes in the Senate of the United States for an outright ban, picking up every one of them . . . Mr. and Mrs. America, turn 'em all in, I would have done it. I could not do that. The votes weren't here."[26]...emphasis added

I think they rely on the belief that a spree shooter has to stop when his mag runs out.

So you're objection is that smaller magazines might slow you down even more than anticipated? nt

If you are that good, why do you need more than a single bullet? Why would you need to reload?

I see. So let you have high capacity in the off chance you need it and mass murderer shooters can

And being able to shoot more faster isn't an advantage for them, only for you. Thanks for clarifying

"Brave men go to war shooting bullets, crazy men go to war shooting film" Or something like that.

If the limit doesn't make a difference, then it shouldn't matter to gun enthusiasts. nt

That's just like; "If you have nothing to hide you'll let the police search your car/house/body".

Actually she did key onto one strong point... she just didn't spend a lot of time on it.

"someone who wanted to tape two 10-round magazines together wouldn't use one of those".

agreed, we need to ban these weapons completely and jail anyone in possession of one.

30 shots per minute is not a high rate of fire? i think you've taken leave of your senses.
