Bullshit argument.
Mass shooters are merely inconvenienced by having to reload every 10 rounds. Mass shooters tend to carry multiple magazines or even multiple guns But, a family man, likely responds to a bump in the night with a handgun and only the magazine in the gun. If you run out, while shooting someone in self defense... you are *FUCKED*. Your entire family is *FUCKED*. People say, "Oh but that never happens! It always ends in just one or two shots!" Bullshit. Here is a video of some Chinese woman defending herself against THREE ARMED ASSAILANTS. IF you watch closely, her slide locks back on an empty chamber. Had the intruders decided to stay and play, she would have assuredly, been fucked. In that situation, I sure as hell wouldn't want my wife to be armed with anything less than an AR15.

well in a perfect world no one would ever attack any one ever
We don't live in that world pass me my beta mag |

That's why no cops in the entire country carry neutered magazines when they could carry standard capacity.
...and they have backup and radios and vests and patrol rifles and full auto... |

Sadly, I hear family members stating this argument.
I do the math: average 'knockdown your door' group = 4. Average rounds in bad guy until 'stop' = 3. Average rounds on target = 1 out of 2. =24. In order to adequately defend myself & my home I require a minimum of 24 rounds. Which is one of the reasons for a full extra magazine on hand always. Along with an AR15 which affords me 30 rounds until reload. |

The whole 10 round limit is just mission creep BS.
Makes criminals out of the unsuspecting innocent. Gives politician and policymakers a feel good talking point they can hold up to voters. Next go-around its again reduced as a end run to make most guns illegal by design. Anyone intent on doing mass harm to the public is not going to be inconvenienced by a stupid mag change. |
|
Yet, in many threads arguing AR vs Shotgun some members of GD have made this very argument.
They claim the 30round AR capacity is irrelevant for home defense because everything will be over in a few shots. It's almost as if not every member of GD is a rootin, tootin pisterlaro after all. |

As soon as the military, police, SS, etc start carrying ten round magazines then we can talk...
|
|
I love it when people who don't know Jack shit about guns want to tell me how many rounds is adequate to defend my life.
|
|

|
So then why do LEO need high capacity magazines? Or full auto?
|
|
10 for you 30 for me, maybe I'll have 20 spares but it'll be ok not like the stuff goes bad
|
|
Any nobody needs to travel over 15mph to get where they're going either. Speed kills
|
|
Stupid argument from the left. Will any criminal only use low cap magazines? Nope. These laws only affect law abiding citizens.
|

|
The other side doesn't care about your logic and facts. Proceed accordingly.

A better argument is pistols aren't that effective. Google the essay written by the cop who shot some guy two dozen times and now walks around with some ridiculous amount of mags
|
|
|
10 rd limit? no problem, fuck your gun control..do this with 3-4 auto pistols. gun goes empty, drop it and draw another one.

Read up on the shot count by the SAS unit taking back the Iranian Embassy.
Counter argument for the 10-rd crowd? Well, I better buy another couple of 10-rd capacity guns then, for some "New York Reloads" = that IS what you want, sugarbear/snowflake, more guns but with a lower magazine capacity!! |

Honestly the logical argument of the OP fails. If the school or mass attacker is not hampered in their efforts by having to take the time to reload, how is the private citizen overwhelmingly hampered by having to possibly reload?
I'm not saying I agree with limitations, but one can't argue that it does not hinder criminals but does hinder honest folks. It may well hinder both or neither but not one and not the other. |

It's a fundamental lack of understanding of terminal ballistics from too much TV, where hardened terrorists crumple instantaneously after being shot once in the lung with a pistol.
In real life, however, the FBI says: "With the exceptions of hits to the brain or upper spinal cord, the concept of reliable and reproducible immediate incapacitation of the human target by gunshot wounds to the torso is a myth." "There is sufficient oxygen within the brain to support full, voluntary action for 10-15 seconds after the heart has been destroyed." Liberals think we want 10 bullets to just hit someone and we're spraying and praying, hence the oft-repeated moronic "If you need more than 10 rounds, you need to go back to the firing range!" In reality, after you've put a few rounds center mass in the guy, the rest of the mag is basically "suppressive fire" until he goes down. Restricting a mass shooter to 10 rounds would do nothing. Most choose confined, populated spaces that are difficult to escape. Despite the oft-repeated "but more mag changes means more opportunities to tackle the shooter," that very very rarely happens. Even then, shooters will simply pick targets less likely to do so: elderly people, children, etc. |
