The 10-round magazine fantasy

[brindleboxer]

33. I can't think of a more credible source...

on the issue of operating an AR-15 than Rachel Maddow. She makes this argument, and provides nothing to substantiate her assumption that performing 14 magazine changes in the course of five minutes would be prohibitively difficult, which makes sense when you're preaching to the MSNBC choir but it's not a solid argument.

Lanza could have killed just as many people with a Glock 19 and a fanny pack full of 10 round magazines. The more and more I hear elected Dems lying to us about these things, the harder it makes it for me to identify with the political left in this country in almost any capacity. Not because I'm a single issue voter (I'm not) but because I used to think that the Democratic party was above this kind of dishonest sensationalist bullshit. And to watch the majority of other dems rallying around dishonest, self-aggrandizing turds like Dianne Feinstein and be unwilling to apply or allow any scrutiny to their rhetoric, I'm feeling increasinly alienated from my own party.
