Why don't elementary school students deserve the same protection as a mallard duck???

From the Arizona Game Dept.

Federal regulations stemming from the Migratory Bird Treaty Act of 1918 and several federal laws passed since then prevail. When hunting dove and other migratory birds, the maximum number of shells allowed in a shotgun will remain at three.

96 years ago true sportsmen realized that larger magazines were unfair-even to animals. Tell me again how thirty rounds don't make it an assault rifle and it is a "sporting" gun...

the legally allowed amount in your gun when you are going to go out and shoot children is ZERO.
