There is no reason to have a bigger magazine unless you plan on murdering a lot of people and don't want to reload.

Banning high capacity magazines is just another one of Barack Obama's methods of taking away Constitutional guaranteed rights of American citizens, and thwarting the inevitable rebellion against his Communist plans to destroy America if his criminal actions persist.

That would be an infringement on the Second Amendment. It wouldn't solve anything. The only thing it will do is keep them out of the hands of the law abiding citizens. Criminals don't obey the laws we have now they won't obey any new ones. I suppose we should ban all knives, and especially serrated ones because they're "assault knives". Oh and while we're at it lets ban ANYTHING that can be used to make bombs with. Sorry mom, can't make anything in our pressure cooker tonight because it's being banned. Let's ban all tools such as hammers, wrenches, and especially nails because they can be used in bombs to cause more harm (recall Boston anyone?). Let's ban ANYTHING that...

If you think your 30 round+ magazines will defend you against a government with tanks, cruise missiles and armed drones you are living in a fantasy world where the "good guys" never miss and the "bad guys" never hit. You must think life is like the "A-Team"

Not really the point - do we really need more feel good legislation which will have no real impact on crime?

Do you think if theirs a ban on magazine size the criminals will listen to that? Half of them illegally own guns as it is. When something becomes illegal it goes on the black market. It will be a failure just like the war on drugs.

The Taliban didn't have tanks, cruise missiles or armed drones, and they kicked our asses, and Russia's too. It's just a matter of will. And the good guys are the enemies of Obama.

Of course they should...... but they won't be. In my home state you can't hunt big game with a gun that has more than 5 round capacity magazine. If you can't hit something in 5 rounds, you might be .........a Republican.

v No, absolutely not

Tongue in cheek here, I believe we need to make safer guns and safer bullets. This is the statement of Dr. Joycelyn Elders, Attorney General of the USA under Bill Clinton. You may also remember her suggestion that bucket makers put holes in their buckets so that toddlers could not drown if they accidentally fell in. To be serious for a moment, I can take a revolver and with a number of speed loaders, sustain a fairly significant rate of fire. This drive to reduce magazine capacity is an incremental move to set legal precedent allowing a more progressive Supreme Court to gut the Second Amendment. And don't think it will stop there. If these gun grabbers erode the ...

This is just more government infringement on second amendment rights. It will do nothing to make people safer. The market will still have them just at a higher price. Bad guys can still carry multiple 10 round clips and reload fairly quick. Screwing with law abiding citizens will not make one bit of difference.

Banning high capacity magazines has nothing to do with the crime level. Truth is, I can reload my gun in 2 seconds. Most people who are skilled in weaponry can do the same. Of course by me saying that, the next thing they will ban is how many magazines you can own.

Actually, all this talk about thd second amendment for protection against crime or hunting is nonsense. Not saying firearms should not be used for that purpose, but the stated purpose of the second amendment is for the arming of militia. It is militia type weapons that are meant to be protected, and high capacity clips, in my opinion, fall directly into that catagory. That is something the states, which are specifically specified as the entities to arms militia should be in charge of regulating.

v No, absolutely not

This will not make people safer. It is a liberal city-folk democrat feel-good move. They wouldn't know a magazine if they saw one, it just sounds better to have a smaller number, as if that will make a difference. It takes me maybe 2 seconds to switch out a magazine. If I wanted to do harm to someone it would be a minor inconvenience to carry 10 magazines in a bag instead of maybe 4 or 5. Don't worry Liberals, I am not advocating harming people, but this has nothing to do with safety. It will have no effect. Of course, the idiot liberals are also talking about banning handguards and adjustable stocks, both of which make guns SAFER, not more dangerous. Clueless morons.

Ok first of all it takes about ONE (1) second to change a magazine....so whats the difference? Why is it anybodys business how many rounds are in my weapon that i have the right to have anyway? Even if making these magazines illegal would do somthing to stop gun violence (it wont) do you really expect criminals to follow ANY gun law?
