The AW ban is just a feel good movement and doesn't help the responsible, mentally stable, and lawful gun owners (myself included). One thing I saw is that there are some serious federal funding shortfalls in linking the known mentally ill and criminals.

one key thing was there was $125m authorized but only $5m appropriated for a more comprehensive database.
Why are we looking for new measures even though we can't pay for the ones we have?
I am still on the fence on hi cap mags. I own many hi cap mags for my xm but i find myself leaning towards my 1911 and 12ga 870 in a home defensive situation. In the Newtown case if only 10rd were available it may have required more reloads and more time for the police to respond. I do see some value in some safety measures around owning hi cap mags.
