Gun Control: Bill to Ban Clips Over 10 Rounds

Quote:

Rep. Carolyn McCarthy, D-N.Y., and Sen. Frank Lautenberg, D-N.J., plan to introduce legislation to limit high-capacity clips that allow shooters to fire a large number of rounds without reloading.

"But for the average citizen, I do not believe they should be able to have large-capacity clips,” McCarthy added.

Screw her and Lautenberg.

If he had only had a ten-round clip, it's likely he would never have done so much damage.

U 'd have been HAPPIER if he'd just made a bomb ?
Like Tim McV. ???

What's next? Will we all be eating with plastic knives? Sounds silly, but the concept is the same.

Not as silly as you would think as there is now a drive in the UK to ban
the sell of large kitchen kinives!!!!!!!

And then will the government ban the sale of leg of lamb? I understand that it makes a dandy weapon..........and so easy to get rid of the evidence. (For those if you who don't understand the reference, let me know, and I will explain it to you!)

Odis (spell?) on Andy Griffin.

I seriously doubt Odis would be able to kill several people and injure countless others with a leg of lamb in the same amount of time as these weapons we have now a days. Or even a kitchen knife. I have to admit the last one is going a bit over board.

You should ignore posts such as that from David. When it comes to firearms, he completely lacks a sense of proportion. There is no reason at all to assume that the boy would have built a bomb if he could not have gotten a 30-round clip. David is just trying to raise the discussion to the level of hysteria, which is the level from which he reacts to gun-related discussions.

A small detail that most would overlook... Gifford is holding a real deal, select fire AK-47.
The rifle pictured is built on a milled receiver designed for machine gun use...


Let me put that another way.

The lady is holding a real deal, fully automatic assault rifle that fires 600 rounds per minute.
Squeeze and hold the trigger down and it will empty what ever mag or drum you have in it very quickly.
AK-47 drums can have a capacity of 100 rounds per drum. She is holding a real assault weapon.

More...

The AK-47 symbolizes many things in many parts of the world.
Example: Flag of Mozambique

We in the states are restricted to the semi-automatic only version of the AK-47, these are called AKMs.
For the most part, Americans own AKMs to familiarize themselves with our enemies weapon of choice.

My AKM was made in China, built on a stamped receiver and it fires a single round each and
every time the trigger is pulled no mater how long you squeeze and hold down the trigger.
1 pull = 1 shot.

I find it noteworthy that mainstream gun control advocates always want to make an exception for the police.

I'm curious if the police have any use for high-capacity magazines that would not also apply to a civilian defending themselves.

Why exempt the police?

wish that she had that on Saturday morning; give him a one-gun salute.
