News in the local Arizona newpaper says that legislation has been introduced to ban magazines of a capacity greater than 10 rounds. Says that the manufacture, sale or "possession" will be a felony. That sure will put a damper on handguns designed to hold 14 and 15 rounds ........ not to mention having a non politically correct drum for a Thompson.

Love the comment that the shooter (aka pot-head) used a gun that he purchased legally. I wasn't aware that a pot head could legally purchase a firearm from an FFL dealer ...... unless of course he lied on the form. Lying doesn't really count when it comes a political issue ....... does it. [:(!]

i do believe liarberals have no brains, just emotions !![:(!]
idiots, every damn one of these "FEEEEEL good" fools, 10 rounds ! gimme a F'ing break [:(!] that means a kill happy liberal will kill only 10 people before changing mags, which can be done in seconds, another thing.., a law breaker is NOT going to follow a 10 round cap. mag. law if he/she wants to kill as many as possible before he/she is killed or captured.

Imagine the uproar if the village idiot would have chosen to use a shotgun with 00 buck ..... probably would have wiped out a larger portion of the crowd and wouldn't have needed to get close enough to be effective. Would they then be screaming about limiting shotguns to single shot? [:0]

Yes. They just haven't had an excuse yet. On the other hand, by the time they get to that point, they'll be pushing for an outright ban with re-education camps for offenders.
Most people know that the only actual effective way to fight back is to, instead of ranting to each other, get organized and help in the political fight. It is all about politics as politics is the vehicle which continues to bring us more and more ineffective and worthless laws. Gun control laws for example.
If even 1/2 of the 84 million gun owners got organized, we could rule this country when it came to gun rights. But for 42 million gun owners to actually get organized, or join up with one of the few existing gun rights groups, would mean that those gun owners would have to actually spend some of their time, effort and money to contribute to the fight.
That has never happened and sadly probably will never happen. So continue with the ranting.
It may feel good to rant to each other about how idiotic it is for the anti-gun crowd to believe that limiting magazines to 10 rounds will have a noticeable effect on murders. But all this ranting does nothing to fight back at the anti-gun crowd who are pushing this legislation.

One of the best moves in the direction of supporting Amendment II would be for you to shut up.
You and your NRA snake-oil do more damage to individual liberty/Amendment II than all the gun-grabbers who exist.
That danger lay in the insidious nature of promotion of a privilege and a perverted version of Amendment II and in your advocacy of compromise and continuing erosion, rather than a recognition of and firm stance on the fundamental constitutionally enumerated right.
Of course you either will fail to grasp that, or you will gabble some muffled refutation, but it is what it is.
Just so you know.
In Calif we had problems with gangs leading to the ban on automatic weapons and later hi-capacity mags. But Calif was never a "gun state" and people knew rights were in jeopardy as they continue to be even on a good day. In AZ case, i dont know whats causing the 10-rd rule, is it the mexican drug problem? Gangs? What?
Nothing more than garden variety collectivism.
Those who desire lessened liberty for 'the people' use any reason or crisis, created or real, as an excuse to advance government control and erosion of constitutionally enumerated fundamental rights.
An old story and one as common as poop on the bottom of a birdcage.

Which is why I've proposed a ballot initiative that empowers free speech for the purposes of the people. Media has been using cognitive distortions, one of which is called "emotional reasoning". Liberals believe that their media is faithful (including internet) to facts and have no clue concerning the principles of the republic.
