Well all the facts aren't totally out yet, but I'm going to go out on a limb and say your conclusion is wrong.
Quote from the story:
He took every precaution and armed himself, and he was still killed. Can you explain to me exactly how more bullets in the magazine would have changed the outcome at all? And please, if you can't answer the question directly, just say so. I'm really tired of going around in circles, trying to get a straight answer.
Something else to add here: is your logic that bigger weapons are the solution to crime problems absolutely? I wonder if you think so.
I thought I made it clear in my post above.
The AB are professional killers, carrying out contract hits for the mafia etc.
Yeah, he was armed, but what was he armed with?
Did he take on a gang of professional killers with one handgun with 6 bullets? (He said he was always armed, that
could be interpreted to mean carrying around a small concealed handgun.) If so, good luck with that because unless you're some kind of awesome trick shot as soon as you run out of ammo you're dead; they'll use suppressing fire to keep you pinned down and move in and kill you.
Would an assault rifle with one or two 30 round magazines have been better? I think clearly so.
I suspect his problem was that he was out-manned
and out-gunned. He could have been killed with sniper-type fire. We don't know all the facts yet. But to claim that a gun won't help you when somebody with a gun is coming after you is ridiculous: That's exactly when a gun
does help. And the most effective to have when protecting yourself from an assault is an assault rifle with a large cap mag. That's what they are made for.
In the Heller case the SCOTUS noted several reasons for having a gun that are constitutionally protected, self-defense being one. Accordingly, a weapon specifically designed for self-defense, like an assault rifle with a 30 round mag, seems perfectly legitimate. I don't understand the foolishness of people like Joe Biden suggesting you re-purpose a hunting gun, like a double-barreled shotgun, for self defense purposes. For self-defense, use a gun designed for self-defense. If in a pinch you need to re-purpose, fine, but that's not ideal.
