Should very large handgun magazines be heavily regulated

Camel. Nose. Tent.

Which is exactly the 'slippery slope' argument.

I don't think a 50 round magazine would be much different thatn3 15 round magazines so should they be outlawed as well. Also I would think aa 50 round magazine is already out lawed in New York City. Seems it didn't do any good.

Any mag in NYC will get your shoulder ligaments, and tendons, stretched.

I can't believe many here would be in favor of such a thing.

Get the picture yet?

There - that response is precisely how we lose firearms rights.

Think about this...are there really not 270 million people in this country today who would vote tomorrow to outlaw high cap mags? Three-quarters is the standard for amending the Constitution.

Two-thirds vote in Congress, then affirmed by 38 state legislatures.

Our rights were lost by deceivers who claim to support us but really only support the privilege for a select few.

They also tried to block Heller and McDonald, claiming we couldn't win.

So if you think you have 270 million people, 290 Congressmen, 67 Senators, and 38 state legislatures, bring it on.

I'm always taken aback when I hear Vietnam-era veterans taking up the 'slippery slope' argument.

So now we have two police officers murdered by a mutant without need to reload for 40 rounds. Anyone recall Gabby Giffords being shot by another mutant who had a Glock with 2 33-round mags? You know the shooting - he killed 6 people as well, including a 9 year-old girl. He fired 31 bullets and was stopped by victims when he dropped his second 33 round mag while reloading.

Outside the circle of firearms enthusiasts who are mistrustful of the Federal government, I doubt you'll find more than a handful of citizens who support bottomless magazines for ANY weapons. This issue, legal extremely high capacity magazines, is a loser for firearms owners over the long term.

That line of thought inevitably leads to zero rounds, and no guns. Aye, Mate?

 

[CAJUNLAWYER]

outlawing large capacity magazines makes as much sense as making me get a vasectomy to cure teen age pregnancy.

 

[Puller]

The problem with "reasonable" and "common sense" gun control laws is who gets to determine what reasonable and common sense are.

 

[dockmurgw]

Granted, I don't get out much, but to me this is a new one:
"This issue, legal extremely high capacity magazines,"
I never heard the term "extremely high capacity". Who gets to define that, the same people who get to define "fair share"? Yup, slippery slope.

 

[ladder13]

That line of thought inevitably leads to zero rounds, and no guns. Aye, Mate?

That's the idea, right?

 

[BAM-BAM]

OK how about..... two...... Glock 17s... or Beretta 92's with 18 or 20rd mags

Can you only have one gun and one mag?

Once again, here we are with some (no offense intended) blaming an inanimate object for a crime. I have no opinion whatsoever concerning 50 round magazines other than if someone wants to buy one who cares? Lots of good points brought up here, including vehicular homicide. Concerning the parade in Waukesha, WI, recently. I don't remember seeing anyone, anywhere, recommend banning the certain vehicle the nut job used to kill so many. I mean, come on, it was a reddish color and an SUV. There are so many on the road I think we should start banning certain types of these vehicles (insert sarcasm here)...

As with my post you nailed it.........Some just can't see for the smoke. You CAN"T BLAME an inanimate for a crime......YOU ONLY blame the human committer............You'd think folk would get this by now.

Great anology!!!!!!!!!

Same thing with my 400HP mustang. As long as I drive it safely. The rest of the world can kiss grass.

Magazine limits are GUN CONTROL.

Always remember:

Gun control is not about guns, its about control.

Those who push it are patient.

Those who push it speak of compromise.

Their idea of compromise is not getting EVERYTHING the want, NOW.

They will never be satisfied.

They see every movement in their direction as a win.

Those on the other side who compromise with them are deceiving themselves

IF they achieve a total gun ban and confiscation of all guns they will not be satisfied.

They will still push for more. WHY?

Because, gun control is not about guns, its about control.

WE must be vigilant.

WE must NEVER compromise with them.

WE must start pushing back, demanding more freedom.

They operate on emotion, WE must use logic and not let their emotion sway us.

Once again: Gun control is not about guns, its about control.

We all have our thoughts on these things. Whatever Congress or my legislature decides is what I'll do. If I don't like it, I'll work through that system to get it changed.

 

[ColbyBruce]

Get the picture yet?

I admit to being flabbergasted at the positive responses.

 

[gregintenn]

Felon with a gun=illegal
Stolen gun=illegal
Murder=illegal

Surely you're smart enough to extrapolate that one more law wouldn't stop a criminal.

You wouldn't happen to be a politician, would you?

I thought this thread got locked yesterday.

HE is a MURDERER.... I don't care if he killed that poor police officer with a rock. He is a piece of . How long are the LAW ABIDING CITIZENS of the U.S.A. going to listen to this DRIBBLE?

 

[LVSteve]

So now we have two police officers murdered by a mutant without need to reload for 40 rounds.

Just for accuracy, as of two hours ago, 1000 Pacific, Officer Mora was still with us, albeit in critical condition.
