You hate gun *ownership*, not gun violence. Even if a class of guns is used in zero murders a year in RI.

FWIW, a ten-round limit is less than what was sold in Rhode Island in the *1860s*. The very first Winchester repeating rifles (1866) held 15+1, as did the Henry (1861) that preceded them. A ten round limit is like banning all abortions after the tenth week; it only sounds reasonable to those who either know little about the issue, or who want the thing banned entirely and don't give a crap about reasonableness.
