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. |
Yes, it will turn into a giant money pit.
I hear the idea on hi cap magazines alot. If you look at the statement it totally disreguards the root problem. Here is what that says. " by not having a high capacity magazine and only limited to 10 rounds it give potential victims time to hide and run while the gunman is reloading ". But how about not having the gunman there in the first place. So 10 dead is better than 30? Am I the only one that sees the wrong in the statement the media shoves in our faces? Just wondering.
High caps are nice. I didn't buy or own my firearms for home protection. Im a collector and target shooter. Its nice not to reload so often at the range.
