    No, I was actually trying to point out a key flaw in the reasoning of some gun opponents.

    ...but whatever. You're not interested in a dialogue. Hopefully someone else is.

    Don't like my criticism, tough beans.
    That being said, I do agree with the idea of limiting magazine sizes. How effective that would be, I'm not 100% sure, but certainly high capacity magazines make it far easier for these nutjobs.

    It's amazing how some people lose the ability to reason when the word gun is mentioned.

    ...so $#@!ed up.

    ...but I'm not even advocating for that, nor was it the main point of my thread.

    Limit yourself to whatever capacity magazines you are most comfortable with.
    Call your state legislators and insist they approve the Article V convention of States to propose amendments.


    I pledge allegiance to the Constitution as written and understood by this nation's founders, and to the Republic it created, an indivisible union of sovereign States, with liberty and justice for all.
