Why the prattling about banning "high capacity magazines"?

[Dayton3]

You hear it every time there is a large scale shooting and they trot out gun control arguments. "Ban high capacity magazines!!"

Why? I don't own any semi automatic rifles (though I've fired more than a few) and I'm no gun nut of any kind, yet even I know it takes only a few seconds to eject a semi auto magazine and insert another one. In short in a mass shooting situation it would certainly make no difference at all.

So why bother banning them?
I think it has to do with the "image" people have of guns and high capacity magazines which they've largely gleaned from movies and video games. That is where a shooter can simply pull down on the trigger and "spray" bullets seemingly indefinitely.

It has no connection to reality though.

Federal government activism is based on emotion. Not logic.

Fastest shooting I've ever seen was a guy with a single shot 20 gauge shotgun on a skeet range. He had a pouch of shells and could pop them in as fast as I could pull a trigger.

Sheila Jackson Lee said she picked up an AR15 and "it weighed what ten boxes of household belongings weighed" and "it was a "50 caliber".
That my friends is the mentality of the fucking DEMs re guns.

Yeah Sheila, cuz as we all know, when a gun is super heavy its way more dangerous.
