May 5 Prime_Meridian v No, absolutely not Why should they be? On what grounds? Because a few homicidal maniacs have misused them? Why should everyone be adversely impacted over a few criminals' horrific acts? Even police officers don't agree that they should be banned. Read all about it at: http:policeandguncontrol.blogspot.com A survey taken by PoliceOne.com, a non-profit organization with 400,000 law enforcement officers as its members, between March 4, and March 13, 2013, has some surprising results on Police Officer attitudes.

u Apr 30 AlmostIllusion v Yes, ban 10+ bullet magazines Guns do not kill people, people kill people. But guns make it so easy. Home defence does not require huge capacity ammo mags, assault rifles, rocket launchers, grenades, nukes. So make it difficult for idiots to get them by making them not legally available. r3 replies Post
May 1 JoinCCA "Guns do not kill people, people kill people" is right! So, why should the actions of one prevent me from something I am passionate about. If someone wants to cause harm they will in on way or another. You can reload most guns with a magazine in under 3 sec if you practice enough. So, banning high cap mags would do no good. Focusing on the legality of high cap magazines or guns in general is the wrong approach. Focusing on the people seems more efficient. Post @JoinCCA
u May 2 SuperBeast Well making drugs illegal sure put a stop to the use of them by criminals didnt it? While you're at it, why dont you go ahead and make murder illegal, that should stop the criminals from doing it...shouldnt it? Post @SuperBeast
u May 4 AlmostIllusion @SuperBeast And here we go with the insulting labels I am not liberal my politics are radical, but that is not what or why we are discussiong this. Speeding is illegal and yet some people speed, and yet less people speed than would without it being illegal. I am not advocating making guns illegal, just agreeing with moves to restrict assault weapons and high capacity ammunition. Will people still kill with them? Yes without doubt, but there will be less killings. For home defence a shotgun in a better weapon than a rifle anyway. Post @AlmostIllusion

Jan '13 AlexMIA v No, absolutely not 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. B4 e82 endorsed Post

Jan '13 RedFloppyShoes v No, absolutely not 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. e19 endorsed Post
Jan '13 PoliticalSpice v No, absolutely not 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. B1 e10 endorsed Post

u Jan '13 Grubby 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. B1 e6 endorsed Post
Jan '13 AMSCountryboy v No, absolutely not 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? e4 endorsed Post
