[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous] as if you had say one pistol and a bunch of mags. then wanted to shoot them all at once as fast as you can. well your finger and hands would be very tired and you would shoot slower and slower. imagine 100 flights of stairs you wish to run up. go as fast as you can. first few will be fast, but on the 5th, 10th, 20th flight well you probably wont be going as fast as the first.

not to mention the gun would become so hot it would be hard to hold.

but really anyone can be taught to reload in a few seconds. with practice you can do it in one or two seconds. so arguments on limiting magazine size are quite silly as all you did was buy people some extra seconds. literally. seconds

do you really want to make felons out of people for the mere possession of magazines ? i guess some of you do. *shurg*

Honestly it is all Greek to me.   I don't know a lot about guns and I don't really want to.

But let's make it easy.   How about this:

You can only own guns that would allow the average, typical user, to kill, say, ... I don't know.... what's reasonable?   3-5 people per minute?     Keeping in mind whatever physical limitations on reloading, trigger finger fatigue, etc. you deem appropriate.

So just ban the weapons that allow civilians to kill more than three people per minute.

Now, if you are going to tell me that ALL modern firearms give you the ability to kill 3-5 people per minute.... I am going to cry.  Because I seriously didn't know that.

As for making someone a felon for the "mere" possession of magazines?   Well... I don't know.   If through the democratic process, the majority of "we the people" decide to elect people who working democratically, make laws outlawing a certain type of gun, or magazines, or whatever... yes, I do expect you to follow the law, or else be a felon.   Yes, I do.

*shrug*   Someone who cares so much about his 2nd amendment rights should probably care equally about the rest of the Constitution, and the democratic process as carried out in the US of A.  I should hope.

I'm getting a little concerned about all the posters who seem to think the Second Amendment is there to allow for overthrow of our democracy whenever things the democratic process happens to go against their preferences!  [/quote]
