>> The fact of the matter is that when a mass shooter changes magazines they are vulnerable. The facts support that. Most mass shooters are not highly trained killing machines, Just delusional crazy people with a deadly weapon in their hands. Not only is there the time it takes to change the magazine, there is the realization that the magazine is empty, the loss of targets and the time it takes to reacquire the targets. Sure, if they are highly trained by experts, all of those times can be reduced. But that is almost never the case.
Yes, they're vulnerable for a second or two. Not usually for 10 seconds or more. So, as it the case of the Vegas shooter it literally didn't matter. He could have taken out as many or more people with a carefully aimed Winchester rifle as he did with the bump stock. Although it would have made less noise.
These are not wars where people are shooting back. And frankly, there are no "targets" to be reacquired. The "target" is anything on two legs.
So, in which cases that you know of what the changing of a magazine a factor? I know there must be some, maybe you can tell which ones we're talking about.
To be sure, I see no essential purpose in huge, huge clips on semi automatics, but a reduced clip size is not a solution to this problem. It just isn't. |
