[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]An AR-15 magazine holds 30 rounds. There are many handguns with similar capacity. But even handguns with 1/2 that capacity can be reloaded quicker than an AR. Its actually significantly easier to reload a handgun than an AR. It's also easier to conceal. The AR just looks and sounds scarier. Be very thankful USPSA open pistol competition shooters are law abiding.[/quote]

+1.  "Assault weapons" is just a stupid term for "scary-looking guns."  It has absolutely nothing to do with firing power, the damage the bullets that can be loaded can do, etc.  You want to get rid of guns, you need to do a full ban and get rid of them off of the streets, underground, black market.  That would require a constitutional amendment and very robust changes to our criminal system.[/quote]

So I take it that our incompetent military (after all, DOD is part of the government, and we know the government can't do anything right) really should be fighting wars with revolvers instead of those "scary looking guns," that don't have any firepower or whatever.

Please, please educate yourself before ranting.  You're undermining the legitimate arguments for meaningful regulation, and I say that as a believer in gun control.

The shooter here could have inflicted the same damage with a hunting rifle or handguns.  The type/look of weapon used here is completely immaterial to the core issues.
