I can give lots of examples of mass shooters using hi cap magazines. So far you are at 0 for someone needing for defense.
If people fire that much in defense they become a danger to everyone around.
You live in fantasy land where it somehow would have saved him.
You are going to stand on that argument...didn't save him so it won't save anyone...there fore no one needs standard size magazines...so ban them....nice....
Well I believe in diversity. So let Europe and Australia do without guns and we can have ours, that way we are not all the same, a person can choose to live where he wants and basically responsible gun ownership is part of our heritage. Background checks and proficiency with handling should be required especially for carry permits. Guns are a great equalizer, they prevent the weak from being preyed on by the strong, let me give you only one example and actually there was no gun involved here, but.... Ok so my older brother lived in a tennament building in Oakland, i dont know if you have ever been in one of those real dumps but they are usually filled with people who are barely making it in life, I dont think you need the complete picture but anyway, my brother was disabled could not walk or move around very well, one night someone in the building began pounding on his door screaming and yelling and attempted to smash it in. my brother was able to barricade the door however with a small dresser and lay against it and even so the door jam was broken, eventually the person probably drunk or on drugs just went away but heres the thing, nobody came to help him and the police diddnt show up until way after the fact.
He was lucky, he didnt have a gun and had that person broken in, he could have easily beaten my brother to death, If you live in one of those places you better damn well have a gun because your trapped there, and if guns are taken away from us eventually, it will be the poor who suffer from it the most, not the wealthy.
heres some more food for thought.
