And what the hell are you supposed to do if you have more than one assailant? Morph into Annie Oakley and take them all out with one shot each? Yeah, that'll happen.
They are just puppets. Saying that less capacity magazines will do anything about crime in our country is like saying if we made beer with .01% less alcohol, that will stop drunk driving.
People like him never shot a gun in their lives and join in on a conversation that has a lot of gun owners and shooters, then make idiotic remarks like that trying to convince us they know what they are talking about.
But you know, I'm the kind of guy that believes in compromise. If the Democrats really believe that smaller magazines will solve all our gun problems, sign a contract with Republicans that states after we mandate all these smaller magazines, nobody will ever bring up a gun issue again as long as there's a Democrat party, and I'll support it.
I gotta say, I'm with Freya on this: you could get Democrats to sign that deal in blood, and I STILL wouldn't trust them to leave it alone. Also, I'm not even remotely willing to leave even one small aspect of my decisions on protecting myself up to them. My safety is not an issue to be decided by committee, because I'M the only one who's going to have to live with the results.
I'm not a gun enthusiast, or a hunter, or any of those other things. My perspective is that of a woman who once had her life threatened by a murderer on a dark street, with no help anywhere in sight, and got away only by the grace of God. I don't have any of the fancy stats, or encyclopedic knowledge of various types, or categorical memorization of laws in different states. I know how to put a bullet where I aim it. I also know this: I will never have to depend on only the grace of God to get away safely ever, ever again. And it's not up for compromise.
