Feb 2018

A hunting rifle, say something like a Model 70, can certainly kill as easily, but it cannot kill as efficiently. When the discussion is limited to mass shootings, efficiency is the difference between one or two victims and 17.

Ban the manufacture, sale and possession of detachable magazines. Limit internal magazines to 4 rounds plus one in the chamber. Ban the manufacture, sale and possession of speed loaders.

A start anyway.
