Folks, I don't think this is over by a long shot.
Did any of you see the dingy Congresswoman from Colorado last night on CSPAN, droning on about 'high capacity cartridges'? Cartridges!! On, and on, and on.
This isn't just a semantic mistake. I really don't believe these nutcases have a clue about what they're discussing.
Here is what I propose. We hear all the time about 'why would anyone need more than 10 rounds', and 'if you can't get it done in 10 rounds then you're dead anyway'.
So, let's have a Republican propose a bill to prohibit and confiscate / 'buy back' all magazines holding more than 10 rounds. All of 'em. Civilian ... military ... and LEO. I'll bet the military and LEO's are going to tell us pretty damn quick why they NEED more than 10 rounds. And so, we poor civilians ... which is it, since we're facing some of the same bad guys - are we supposed to be much better shots? Or, are our lives just worth less than the military or LEO's? I'm just so sick of that entire dishonest and illogical argument.
Gotta go now. Gonna see if I can buy some of those 'high capacity cartridges' ...
And, I thought it passed last night, but today has brought more confusion.
