The man who fatally shot nearly two dozen people at an El Paso Walmart on Saturday, alleged to be a right-wing extremist, and the man who shot and killed nine people only hours later in a downtown area of Dayton, Ohio, both unleashed their savage attacks thanks to military-style rifles. Just as culpable for the carnage, however, were the large-capacity magazines that enabled these shooters to discharge many rounds of ammunition without reloading. |

What utter BS.
In U.S. v. Miller, the Court assumed arguendo that the defendant had an individual right to bear arms. It ignored the gov'ts argument that the 2A only guaranteed a collective right and went straight to type of weapon at issue. In doing so, it set the criteria for what arms are "protected" - in common use, had militia utility, could contribute to the common defense or were "any part of the ordinary military equipment." [That includes critical design parts, such as magazines.] It ruled that Miller's shotgun was not protected, and it closed with the dictat that the 2A must be applied using the criteria it had set forth. |

In WW2 the main battle weapon was the M1 Garand, fed by an en bloc clip (and that is the correct term here) containing 8 .30 '06 rounds, and Patton said it was the best weapon in the war.
It's been demonstrated that it is possible to reload mag-fed weapons so quickly it won't matter if they're 10 round, 20, or 50 round mags.
The Marjorie Tone man H. S. In Parkland Florida was attacked in 2018 by a thug using 10 rnd. mags. Was the death count there acceptable?
NO!!!!!
Let's get past this stupidity; mag capacity bans are useless aND DUMB!!!! |

TO REMEMBER |
| I do believe that where there is a choice only between cowardice and violence, I would advise violence. Thus when my eldest son asked me what he should have done had he been present when I was almost fatally assaulted in 1908 [by an Indian extremist opposed to Gandhi's agreement with Smuts], whether he should have run away and seen me killed or whether he should have used his physical force which he could and wanted to use, and defend me, I told him it was his duty to defend me even by using violence. Hence it was that I took part in the Boer War, the so-called Zulu Rebellion and [World War I]. Hence also do I advocate training in arms for those who believe in the method of violence. I would rather have India resort to arms in order to defend her honor than that she should in a cowardly manner become or remain a helpless witness to her own dishonor. — Mohandas K. Gandhi, Young India, August 11, 1920 from Fischer, Louis ed.,The Essential Gandhi, 1962 |
