As I edited into my above post, I think those who would like to ban guns have the best changes with a magazine ban and not firearm bans. But 5 or 6 rounds are easy to reject.

If I were to give a magazine banner advice it would be to start at 30 rounds.

What side track hysteria is trying to put "looks" into the conversation? Ruby the Liberal Jan 2013 #5

I can't speak for rrneck, but when I hear the vague phrase "military style" as something petronius Jan 2013 #10

Lowest common denominator thinking then? Ruby the Liberal Jan 2013 #20

Well y'know... rrneck Jan 2013 #32

My attitude toward gun nutters is only going to get shittier at this point. So kestrel91316 Jan 2013 #52

Whatever. rrneck Jan 2013 #53

I say give them Muskets Politicalboi Jan 2013 #2

If a musket is not good enough give them a single shot BB with lever. Thinkingabout Jan 2013 #14

Yep. They are so obsessed with what the Founding Fathers intended. kestrel91316 Jan 2013 #22

Bolt action rifles, pump action shotguns Paulie Jan 2013 #13

Good luck with that. I don't see any real support for that type of restriction. aikoaiko Jan 2013 #17
