The entire argument from the left about gun control is very easily destroyed with one simple statistic: how many legal gun owners commit gun crime.Huey » 19 Apr 2021, 9:03 am » wrote: ↑ @Blackvegetable mark your calendar

This new piece of gun control legislation would ban the sale, manufacture, transfer, importation, and even possession of firearms magazines that can hold more than ten rounds.Gun Magazine Ban: Why It Won’t WorkHowever, the Department of Justice (DoJ) conducted a study in 2004 that concluded that such a ban actually did little to reduce gun violence.“Should it be renewed, the ban’s effects on gun violence are likely to be small at best and perhaps too small for reliable measurement,” the study concluded.
Even it if it passes there is no way to control the number of magazines already in circulation. Many, if not most, sidearms have magazines that hold well over 10 rounds. Additionally, if your mass shooter is a law abiding sort he will just carry MORE magazines. Only takes a second. Take the VA Tech shooter. He killed 33 and shot 17 others with two handguns.
That is it. The argument need not go any deeper than that. The only thing that more 'educated' lefties will cite is suicide. As if they care about law abiding white middle aged men commiting suicide.
But I personally think people should be allowed to kill themselves if they want, since the left has managed to make life intolerable anyway.
