[QUOTE="greenbeetle, post: 1479585, member: 17057"] Good question. It sounds like the arguement is that bad guys have less firepower? They are saying the shooter in Arizona, for example, was taken down when he went to reload. No source on that so I can't verify. Then again if they have bad intentions they will get whatever type of weapon without whatever magazine they want. So, I don't know how it would save lives. Did the framers envision civilians owning automatic and semi-automatic weapons? And owning more than a few each? Bearing a gun that took 60 seconds to reload and could barely hit the broadside of a barn at 50 yards is different than owning a modern firearm isn't it, at least a little? There is this religious-like fanaticism that the constitution is infallable. It was made with provisions to allow it's ammending because they knew it was not perfect and that things change. I wonder what the framers would say about 30 round magazines. Or a better question, what would they do to limit gun violence? [/QUOTE]
