    I don't think you can do that with a semi auto

    Neither hunters or target practitioners need them, so why should they be available?

    Yet, Thomas Jefferson was himself a practitioner of slavery. How hypocritical was that?

    Another way to help with the situation is to limit the capacity of gun magazines to possibly 5 cartridges. That would cut down on the number of victims possible in a given time.

    Then limit the number of bullets fitting into a magazine.

    He wasn't a slave.
    Ok. Now is that the end of it?

    Well at least they are being honest about greasing the slippery slope into machinations of tyranny... O S--t, isn't that the express purpose of the 2nd A - a safeguard against our very own gov. unconstitutionally overreaching into our "enshrined" personal freedoms & liberties...

    The 2A is not about hunting or target shooting.

    It's about defending one self against enemies foreign and domestic and defending against a tyrannical government.

    Educate yourself before you spout off.

    Thomas Jefferson wrote the Declaration of Independence and in his first draft abolished slavery but was overruled by some southern states.

    Thomas Jefferson was an abolitionist.

    Would these individuals have simply not been killed otherwise, if all other factors remained constant?

    The ATF has confirmed there is no supposed "iron pipeline" of firearms being trafficked in from other states. The majority of firearms found in the possession of criminal individuals in any given state, were originally sold within that specific state to begin with, even in the state of California.

    How many more individuals will be murdered in response to efforts at trying to forcefully confiscate firearms from their legal owners when they refuse to comply? The same individuals who are willing to murder indiscriminately, are not going to suddenly demonstrate a willingness to comply and surrender their firearms in a peaceful manner.

    How many individuals will have to be murdered in a confiscation effort, before it is concluded such efforts have yielded more harm than good?

    Why do Democrats always want to go after the responsible law abiding gun owner first, instead of criminals and illegals. Show me that Liberals are in support of REAL! gun control legislation, by going after the BAD! guys first and arresting and reporting to ICE illegals who fail background checks and executing any Criminal in possession of a Gun not registered to them and assuring us responsible Gun owners that you haven't disarmed us, so that were sitting ducks for the bad guys to victimize. If you can assure me that I no longer need to defend my House and property with a .22 caliber revolver against a criminal intruder armed with an AR-15, then Hey! let's talk, but I know you can't. There are MILLIONS of AR-15's out there, so school me like you said you did to my like minded compadres and tell me how you're going to get them. Gun Deaths are huge and out of control in Liberal controlled cities, tell me how your master plan is good for America, because statistics show it's not.

    Seriously?

    I can do a paintball magazine of 19 rounds in less then a minute. And that's with checking the chamber after each round to check for a mis-load. Without any serious Keanu Reeves training.

    Regular gun magazines don't require that check so they take less time. As long as you can handle the buck of the gun and the sound and keep a steady aim at a plethora of people in front of you, it doesn't take long to mow people down.

    Justification to degrading a civil right. Needs are not looked at when talking about rights. You should get off that need thing if you want to have a rational discussion. Rights aren’t about needs.

    Anyway, enjoy your continued push to erode our civil rights. Sickening really. Enjoy.
