The colombine shooter that fired the most, used 10rd magazines, not the one with the TEC-9. Src: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_High_School_massacre#Firearms http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Columbine_High_School_massacre#...
I will give you props though, unlike most of the anti-gun crowd, you're thinking something other than 'ban'.
- senthilnayagam 14y agoif we start with the "ban" as the idea it will take another year atleast to bring it to vote, and democrats are not majority, so the day we start announcing lot more people will start buying everything of the shelf. NRA knows how to twist people to listen to their own version of the truth. even when the ban if it comes it would be for "manufacturing and sales of guns" just like 18th amendment for banning alcohol, it would do nothing to keep the existing guns in safety. so my thinking is safety of the guns by owners without involving guns and and restrictions of guns in public places by involving people, organisations and if needed the government, this would be a compromise which republicans and democrats can agree on.
- mgarfias 14y agoIf you pass a ban, you'll have something around a 10% compliance rate. Then, you accept it, or you move to confiscation. Clearly you are not steeped in the non-coastal, non-liberal-elite culture, because if you were, you would realize that would trigger a LOT of blood shed.
