A community for pro-gun liberals.
I don't get the hate for large magazine capacity. If someone can bring one 30-rounder, they can bring three 10-rounders. That certainly wouldn't have changed what happened at Uvalde.
I know that's anecdotal, but unless people bum-rush the shooter during a mag change, it will never make a difference
It's all performative. Problems with guns don't stem from the fact that guns exist and people have access to them, it's that people treat guns as a catch-all solution. As though guns are some magic wand you can use to solve all your problems. And as a wedge between those who are "In" and those who are "Out".
If you want to "fix" guns in this country, you have to start grounding the following behind them. Require that people learn about them and how to use them safely. Demystify them and make them the tool they are in peoples minds, instead of some deific relic sent by god to fix all our problems.
Never does the gun control movement say 'this restriction was ineffective, we should remove it'.
The primary goal is to make exercising your rights as annoying and cumbersome as possible. Death by 1,000 cuts.
Yeah. Id have so much more respect for the movement if they did.
Silencers for example is a known bad law. Revoke it, and patch some other loophole instead. Like how private sales don't require background checks or literally anything.
This will likely continue up to the Supreme Court. Magazines with a capacity larger than 10 are in common use for lawful purposes, meaning this ban fails to meet one of the conditions set in the Heller case.
It just seems so pointless.
Like, okay, I get that you've got to pander to your base, but why not do something that's vaguely useful while you do so?
The only way a capacity ban would be useful is if they somehow managed to not just ban them in that state, but eliminate them across the entire world, and then hope that nobody figures out how to make them to bypass the ban and destruction.
Magazines should only be for 7.62 mm and smaller!
While I don't particularly enjoy shooting through 30-round magazines (preferring 15 & 20 rds), I'm not certain that this really hinders anything in the age of 3d printing. I don't know the number of mass shootings that are premeditated, but I imagine it's most.
Fuck you, from my .300 PRC. Your statement makes no fucking sense.
