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.
All gun control is just the leftists wanting to take guns away from law-abiding citizens because they want to take all people's rights away and know that an armed population that has the ability to defend itself from their overreach is a problem when they want to get a whole country in a state of "owning nothing and being happy" how many people are going to go along with the stripping of their property rights to get them into a state of owning nothing?
