Silencing the Guns

[sarisataka]

118. Acutaly what I said was

Hi-cap mags (I would be willing to negotiate on this one although I do believe when it was imposed before the complaint was people were buying larger "more lethal" calibers)

Not

I for one think it's fucking ridiculous that you can't appreciate the argument against hi-capacity rounds. Thank you for proving my point that you are in fact unreasonable when it comes to this issue

And I thought we were becoming friends

My point was when Hi-cap mags were limited (in a very ineffective way) the gun control crowd became upset that guns started being made smaller i.e. more concealable, and in larger calibers.
So assume Brady utopia- all hi-cap mags are banned, no grandfathering even*poof, gone*. Will the next tragedy require that a gun must be at least 15 inches long and weigh a minimum of 6 pounds? Or no caliber larger than a spitball?
Sliding the slope again.

individual states should be free to make a determination about what regulations they want in that regard

Um... isn't that what we have, you just don't like it?

irresponsible regulations of many states clearly is resulting in trans-state trafficking and that is a function of interstate commerce

Do you want the Congress that just passed HR 222 to step in and create a national standard?

I must bring up the irony that Brady, VPC... who have been screaming for national magazine limits, assault gun bans, FBI, NCIS, LMNOP background checks had a complete cow that HR 222 violates state rights.

Police chiefs=political appointees. They will mirror the mayors stance whether pro or anti.

I am sure you are aware of the NRA's Armed Citizen column which prints several self defense reports monthly with references to the news source so I won't bother you with other similar sites.

I simply say consider the cautionary tale of George Zimmerman.

Here we finally do agree. With rights come responsibilities and with abuse of rights there should follow consequences. If the law allows abuse without consequence it should be changed. That does not mean throw it out completely.
