I would agree to the limit on bullets in magazines. No thanks, not even remotely interested in that idea - if you think there's too many guns - try counting the number of magazines. I generally try to buy 10 for every gun I have that uses them. If the shooter had to reload more often, a few more kids might have been able to run away during those moment. Seriously doubtful, I believe he had them trapped in the room i.e. standing in the doorway. Sadly all this magazine talk will only disarm victims by limiting their ability to defend themselves against criminals that will always have the magazines with more than 10 rounds. Shooting by rifle is rare in the USA.

I would agree to the limit on bullets in magazines. Who knows? If the shooter had to reload more often, a few more kids might have been able to run away during those moment. I believe the only child who survived in that one classroom was one who feigned death. Do you accept the fact that a magazine can be changed in less than 2 seconds? Message 28641246 Message 28644567

At Columbine, Harris and Klebold reloaded often. Nobody tried to stop them, not even the tough jocks. The teacher in the Library told everybody to lie down like sheep and die underneath desks in the Library instead of getting out of the school through teacher lounges behind the library.

Cuomo banned anything over 7 rounds in a magazine. An older Army issue 45ACP pistol holds 7 rounds, the current Army 9mm pistol holds 15 rounds. It takes longer to aim than to change magazines Tenchusatsu. All I see registering guns do is that if one is used in a crime, you have a paper trail of who bought it, and who it was stolen from. Does nothing to criminal who used it does it? Wasn't too long ago Congress passed a law that if you used a certain kind of bullet in killing someone, they added five years to your sentence. About the same time, they added if you killed a teacher or mailman, your sentence was longer than if you killed anyone else. Pure nonsense.... So far, in reviewing a lot of these shooting tragedies, the shooter(s) kill themselves. Reasoning, gun control laws, psychiatric help, etc is not going to stop someone intent on spreading death and destruction, rejoicing in their coming death. As the NRA says, the only way you stop one of theses POS is by terminating them asap. You don't do that with gun registration lists, higher taxes, gun free zones, candlelight vigils, etc. Hell, a few Muslims killed 3000 with a few box cutters. The left believes if the US gives up all of its nukes, everyone else will and we will all live in peace. You see the same thing playing out today in gun control. If we take guns away from responsible gun owners, somehow the criminals won;t have any. Pure idiocy is it not? Are you willing for America to give up all of it's nukes before anyone else does? 15000 people each year are killed by drunk drivers, where's the outrage against alcohol?
