Honestly, I voted "yes" on the poll. I believe that if magazines were limited to 10 rounds, it would reduce the number of casualties in mass shootings. I am an ardent supporter of the second amendment and an Endowment Member of the NRA. I also do NOT support any legislation restricting magazine capacity or types of firearms in the hands of law abiding citizens. But it is disenguous to say that a mass shooter could "do just as much damage with multiple 10 round magazines as ones that hold 30 rounds or more". Most of these evil individuals are not highly skilled and have not trained for attempts at mass murder, but given 30 or 40 rounds to fire without having to reload makes the potential for casualties much greater.
Of course, there is no way to effectively eliminate magazines that hold more than 10 rounds. And consider that it is estimated that there are over 100 million AK-47's in existence world wide. And, yes, they have high capacity magazines and are real assault rifles, capable of full automatic fire. So, even if the millions of law abiding citizens were to surrender their "high capacity" magazines, and even their semi automatic rifles, are we so naive to believe that people intent on evil won't find a way to get their hands on a tool to carry out their desire to commit mayhem?
I wish I had answers as to how to stop mass shootings. It is clear that the problem is not the proliferation of weapons, since according to the DCM, over 270,000 M-1 carbines were sold by mail order from 1958 to 1967, and the only mass shooting I can recall from that era was the University of Texas shooter, Charles Whitman, and one of his weapons was an M-1 carbine. Why are so many occurring in the last decade, and at the moment? Video games? Social media? 24 hour news cycle? Education system? Parenting? Destruction of the nuclear family? Psychotropic medications? I wish I knew....
Sorry to get long winded.
