Actually, that doesn't solve the problem. What the OP asked for is a discussion of a continuum fallacy. It's a interesting logical discussion.

And this is usually the answer in these scenarios :) There's not much new under the sun.

What you're essentially saying is that criminals will obey the ban on standard capacity magazines. That's just silly. And it's completely ignoring the heart of the 2nd Amendment. The revolutionary war was pretty much fought with no repeating arms at all, so clearly, we don't need repeaters of...

What does Colorado have to do with this?

Also, Comic Sans :barf:

There's a bit of a difference between a round just hanging out in a tube and being ignited via heat and a round sitting in a barrel and ignited via a firing pin with a bolt face on one side. I would expect exactly what you see in Shadow 7D's link in this scenario. A pierced primer perhaps, but...

Yeah, this is the part that really has me confused. I'm not really sure why one would expect "it would pop the primer out" to happen.

I'm having a hard time figuring out what you're even describing. Appropriate user name perhaps?

And that's what's so interesting about this one. What I'm waiting to see is if they kick it into even higher gear the next time it happens, or if we'll be back to where we were when Aurora/Virginia Tech etc. happened where we get a week or two of a few people in the news mentioning gun control a...

Let's just hope we can go long enough without a similar incident for this to happen. I don't want to think of what things would be like if another elementary school gets shot up by a crazy with an "assault weapon" during the next couple of months.

If we're going to complain about the guy we can at least call him by his name. Piers. It's not even pronounced the same as Pierce. I think he's as misguided and worthless as everybody else around here does, but I can tell you that messing up his name isn't going to help lend your argument any...

Have her watch some FPSRussia videos on YouTube. I kid, I kid. That's really good to hear. It's always tough to have a spouse that's disinterested or even outright opposed to a hobby, and even more so when it's something important like firearms.

There are definitely a lot of things that seem really really odd about this story and how it unfolded, which he started out questioning. Then he departed for crazy town. Oh well.

Naturally, as someone would have to be charged and convicted of violating it before even being able to appeal it up through the courts.

For whatever reason, the media has been banging on the gun control drum way, way harder than it has after previous similar events. This has made it look like there's more public support for it than there is. From what I've seen it has prompted the usual types on Facebook and whatnot to follow...
