Reply #8: If you want to waste your time and effort trying to ban extended magazines ...

[spin]

go for it.

If a law is passed it will be a "feel good" law and accomplish nothing.

If a little practice a person can swap out magazines in two seconds and with a lot more practice in under one second. The Virginia Tech shooter had plenty of magazines and reloaded many times.

In my opinion, you could better spend your time trying to do something that might just help stop a potential massacre.

For example you could make sure your state is sending records of people who should be prohibited from buying firearms to the NICS database. That way if they enter a gun store they will fail the background check and be unable to purchase a weapon.

If you are interested you can read what the Brady Campaign has to say on this issue at:

Note: I'm a pro-RKBA shooter with a concealed weapons permit and normally have an intense dislike of the Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence. On this issue I agree with them.
