the reason magazine bans work

[horatioo]

What's the efficacy of banning these magazine clips? I will tell you these are ammunition, they're bullets, so the people who have those now, they're going to shoot them. And so if you ban them in the future, the number of these high-capacity magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time because the bullets will have been shot and there won't be any more available.

I imagine a lot of you guys are under the impression that magazines are reusable.

It is almost funny. I dont know how people can want to take away something that other people value but dont understand any facts on the subject.

How much do I have to comment for this not to be a drive by?

That's plenty of comment to get this out of the drive-by category, but there's already a thread on this here, so... closed.
