These are the idiots formulating gun policy. People who dont have the first idea about what they are legislating. Democrats offer non-stop clips of stupidity on gun control. And this one doesnt fail. Apparently, this one believes emptying a magazine will end its usefullness. So banning magazines will clear out the market once all the bullets loaded into them are shot.

You can't make that shit up. It pisses me off to no end that the people who are making up the laws are dumb asses who have no idea what they are legislating.

I heard a response from an official defending her, saying that she MEANT to say "clips" (because that is how many clips were meant to be used on the battlefield), so what she said was not untrue, she simply misspoke. Which is of course a bold faced lie, because she DOES want to ban MAGAZINES, per the actual definition.

that's because movie scenes where people fill up magazines don't exist.
In the average movie, when a magazine is empty it gets thrown away and another taken out of pocket because they're always combat scenes.
In calm weapons preparation scenes, they will play with the weapon or clean it or whatever but I've rarely seen anyone filling up a magazine (surely not with a clip).

It's hollywood's fault.

Still, banning these items will reduce their availability over time. I think that's useless though, it doesn't solve anything.

This is not any worse than the morons who think 10 round magazines are going to save lives.

of course anti gun nutters don't know anything about guns.

Why do you think they work so hard to limit / ban them? fear of the unkown.

Yes, actually, it is. There is at least an argument there, even if we wouldn't all agree on its validity. This is just pure ignorance.

You mean the argument that kindergartners are going to mass rush a shooter while he is reloading his 10 round magazines? :colbert:

I guess its a question of if you consider ignorance or massive stupidity worse.

That's exactly how I feel when Republicans try to make laws around economic policy. I've never supported the high capacity magazine ban, this doesn't do anything to change that I still know it's not going to make a difference.

No, it will not. Hundreds of millions of them exist, they aren't going to disappear because they are illegal, most will be grandfathered.

This is pretty laughable. I think it should be a reminder of the risk of excessive government intervention into things the involved politicians don't understand. Personally I think there are some reasonable arguments on limiting magazine size (not that I advocate for it), but it's clear she has no idea what she's talking about.

These are the people that are running the country now. The do something crowd. Knee-jerk reactions are embraced and encouraged. I could have some respect for her if she publicy stated that she is uneducated when it comes to firearms and saw no need or has no desire to educate herself. We know that's not going to happen.

A few years pass and these career politicians are running for higher office. Term limit them. Pick an office, run for it and win and at the end of your term you cannot seek government employment of any kind for a decade. Go back to the private sector.

Magazine limit laws serve zero purpose. None what so ever in terms of actually doing anything good to either reduce crime or the impact of a potential crime.

There are already WAY too many magazines out there right now above any arbitrary imposed limit law. There is zero way to get these out of circulation. They are not disposable goods and they do not go bad unless mistreated.

It is far to easy to MAKE any magazine for any firearm out there. In fact, it is easy enough for anyone to make from scratch their own gun, ammo, and magazines for the gun. So long as people have freedom to purchase the tools of manufacturing as well as the materials to make guns they are not going to disappear in America. Not from any criminal intent on having a firearm.

But suppose an arbitrary limit law on magazine capacities does make the next mass shooter think that they don't want to break that little law before they commit a whole bunch of murders. That the next mass shooter is going to think to his or her self, "My area has a limit of 10 rounds capacity for my magazines for my illegally obtained firearms, I guess I should go get some legal size magazines before I go ahead with my killing spree after lunch."

Assuming that scenario, which is ludicrous, there are plenty of other ways for said killer to "get around" an artificially imposed limit law. They could, carry more guns! They can learn how to reload the gun without fumbling. You know they might actually try to practice how to do it quickly.

There really is zero actual good an arbitrary capacity limit law will do. The ONLY thing it will do is limit a law abiding citizen, you know those people that are trying to follow the law and not go on killing sprees, and that person's ability to defend themselves in a scenario where they may need more than 10 rounds and didn't have time to grab extra magazines to reload from.

She's a Democrat, she also said this to a senior citizen who wants to be armed to defend himself against criminals.
Rep. Diana DeGette (D-CO) strikes again and insults a senior citizen concerned about how he is supposed to defend himself against criminals who have high-capacity magazines if they are banned. She says to wait for the police and otherwise he'd "probably be dead anyway."

Makes alot of sense, I used to have a 22 that had 10 and 30 round mags, guess which one never jammed, the 10 round one. If I was in a life or death situation there is no way I would have the 30 round one loaded, even at the range the 30 was so unreliable that I didn't bother to take the 3 that I had.
