So your claims are bull****.
Ms. McCarthy, a Democrat from New York, called high-capacity magazines "the common thread in every mass shooting in recent history." Her husband was killed in a shooting spree on the Long Island Rail Road in 1993."
- 30rnd is not high-capacity, it's standard. High-capacity = 60/100rnd mags.
- Columbine was carried out using AWB-compliant 10rnd mags.
You know as well as I do that most semi-automatic handguns hold at least ten rounds. Who do you think you're fooling? Bush doesn't support banning handguns, which this would do. So your claims are bull****.
A 30 round magizine for a handgun is high capacity. No pistol I have heard of needed 30 rounds as a standard issue magazine

Kel-Tec today announced the newest gun to their lineup, the PMR-30 pistol chambered in .22WMR. The PMR-30 is a double stack semiautomatic pistol that has a 30 round magazine.
Ban automatic weapons & high-capacity ammunition clips
1. 30rnd is not high-capacity, it's standard. High-capacity = 60/100rnd mags.
2. Columbine was carried out using AWB-compliant 10rnd mags.
Setting aside our own opinions of gun ownership, the Hughes Amendment is simply illegal, it violates the Militia Act of 1903.Why repeal the Hughes amendment, but could you explain why you think it should be repealed?
Truth is not an opinion. The 30rnd mag is standard issue, aka "in common use". You can't find a 10rnd mag in the service even if you wanted one.1. Youropinion[experience as a military veteran of a foreign war, having been formally trained with the M16/M4 platform].

2. Mass Shooting Incidents in America (1984-2012)
"Mass shootings are a unique feature of American life which have occurred consistently throughout history in every region of the country. The increased lethality of such incidents is made possible by the use of large capacity ammunition magazines (defined as more than 10-rounds) which enable a shooter to rapidly fire off as many as 100-rounds without having to reload the firearm. Designed for military use to kill greater numbers of people more effectively, large capacity ammunition magazines have facilitated some of the worst mass murders ever committed in the United States. As these incidents occur in every region of the country, restricting civilian access to these weapons is not a state specific problem. The federal government needs to take action to protect all Americans by reinstating the ban on large capacity ammunition magazines.
This database provides an overview of significant mass shooting incidents in America (defined by the FBI as four or more victims killed), all of which involved large capacity ammunition magazines."

Sources used in the video:
The AWB had failed to have an impact on gun crime in the United States. A 2004 Department of Justice report concluded:
"Should it be renewed, the ban's effects on gun violence are likely to be small at best and perhaps too small for reliable measurement. [Assault weapons] were rarely used in gun crimes even before the ban."

‘Paper Gun’ At School Prompts Suspension Of Philadelphia Girl
A Philadelphia fifth grader was suspended for having a paper gun at school. The little girl maintains she was chastised by staff and ridiculed by her peers. The child also claims that after the piece of paper that kind of resembled a gun was found, she was searched in front of the entire class. Critics who feel the teacher overreacted wonder if the educator was checking for paper bullets in the little girl’s pockets.
That's not a loophole.Closing the private gun sale loophole is designed to reduce crime.
Loophole
: a means of escape; especially : an ambiguity or omission in the text through which the intent of a statute, contract, or obligation may be evaded
Why all the concern for victims of mass shootings and not the victims of clubs and hammers which have killed countless more people?
It looks to me like its not about protecting people at all - its about driving a wedge issue between the left and the right - and gaining
control over people isn't it?
The high capacity magazine ban is not designed to reduce crime, it is designed to reduce the number of kills in mass murders.
- 30rnd is not high-capacity, it's standard. High-capacity = 60/100rnd mags, which is why the CO theater shooter's rifle kept jamming, allowing people to escape during the assault.
- The CT shooter had ammunition left over. He didn't stop because he ran out of ammunition, he stopped because he accomplished his goal.
- Columbine was carried out using AWB-compliant 10rnd mags. 18 of them. Over 130 rounds were fired before the shooters killed themselves. When you limit the mag size, perps simply bring more mags.
- All of these mass shootings occurred in gun-free zones.
- All of these mass shooters were taking SSRIs.
- My oldest son is alive today because I had a gun to repel a violent burglar.

WOULD BANNING FIREARMS REDUCE MURDER AND SUICIDE? A REVIEW OF INTERNATIONAL AND SOME DOMESTIC EVIDENCE
Harvard Journal of Law & Public Policy
View attachment 67129742
Guns are just one among numerous available deadly instruments. Thus, banning guns cannot reduce the amount of suicides. Such measures only reduce the number of suicides by firearms. Suicides committed in other ways increase to make up the difference. People do not commit suicide because they have guns available. They kill themselves for reasons they deem sufficient, and in the absence of firearms they just kill themselves in some other way.
