You're a fool if you think that no one will get injured accidently, be it someone being way to confident in their aim and shooting a 'good guy' in the back, some cowboy wannabe shooting themselves in their rush to whip out their gun, or bullets ricocheting all over the place.

How many times does that actually happen? librarylu Jun 2016 #103

The best part of it is safeinOhio Jun 2016 #112

So you limit the capacity of the clips, they'll just carry more clips jack_krass Jun 2016 #87

Restrict all devices that use clips/magazines. DCBob Jun 2016 #93

yep. Dangerous technology *ALWAYS* needs to be regulated as it becomes ever more dangerous Schema Thing Jun 2016 #7

And I can take a 100 pounds lancer78 Jun 2016 #9

True but data suggests that guns are easier to obtain malaise Jun 2016 #11

Good fucking luck buying 100 lbs of fertilizer. joshcryer Jun 2016 #16

How well are guns monitored? IronLionZion Jun 2016 #22

Indeed. joshcryer Jun 2016 #33

My family owns a 320 lancer78 Jun 2016 #25

You'd still be on a more closely monitored list than guns. joshcryer Jun 2016 #31

You make the case for the OP, that much fertilizer is harder to get than a weapon DESIGNED to kill uponit7771 Jun 2016 #21

That's why we have mass fertilizer bombings every day in this country. Orrex Jun 2016 #37

So then you are all for stricter gun laws! Thanks! Rex Jun 2016 #49

You could still buy high-capacity magazines after the ban, they just cost more. PoliticAverse Jun 2016 #104

Yup. The law only affected post-law manufactured product. nt BumRushDaShow Jun 2016 #109

And naturally, since people knew the ban was going to be enacted some time before it was... PoliticAverse Jun 2016 #110

Always happens. BumRushDaShow Jun 2016 #111

Yet sales of AR-15s grew during that period. X_Digger Jun 2016 #39

The law only covered guns sold AFTER the law went into effect BumRushDaShow Jun 2016 #51

And it only applied to 'features'. X_Digger Jun 2016 #55

I recall back in the 80s BumRushDaShow Jun 2016 #59

That is so ridiculous that I can't believe you posted it on purpose. Orrex Jun 2016 #35

And 250 armed people can all start shooting at each other, in a moments notice. Rex Jun 2016 #69

150 people shooting around... Lancero Jun 2016 #79
