New details of Newtown shooting prove assault weapons ban is needed

[Jenoch]

167. Maddow used simple math to make a point

but her logic is faulty. She divided the total number of rounds (152) by the capacity of the magazine (30) to come up with the number of times he needed to change mahazines. The problem with that logic is that he did not do it that way. You attributed intelligence,and the jamming factor, as to why Lanza did it that way. It is more likely he changed magazines in the manner he did because that's the way 'gamers' do it when playing the violent video games.

Maddow was of course using the Newtown tragedy to make a point about how it was only possible because of 'high capacity' magazines instead of 10-round magazines.

If anti-gun people were being honest they would attempt to ban all guns with removable magazines. New York has banned the use of more than 7 rounds in detachable magazines. A law like that would have had little effect in a situation like New Town.
