So lets say all this stupid gun ban crap passed. Lets say that the AWB and mag ban passed. Lets also suppose that Nancy Lanza did not go out and buy an existing AR. Lets say she only bought what was allowed under the new production law.

She buys a Ruger Mini 14 with a wood stock[explicitly exempted by Feinsteins bill] and several 10 round mags for that gun. The RM14 shoots the same 223/5.56 that the AR Lanza used shoots.

Now Lanza goes to the school and does his mag change, and there is no reason to think he would be stopped in a mag change, he changed his mags several times and was not stopped so a few more and I doubt it would have made a difference. But lets for the sake of argument say it did make a difference in how many kids he killed.

Lets say he only killed 15 kids and 3 educators. What pray tell do you think the response of all those parents and liberals would be now?

Would it be, "see only 15 kids and 3 educators, if he had 30 round mags he would have killed many more children. " Or do you think that the response would be "lets ban 10 round mags and all semi auto rifles and pistols. "

If anyone thinks that a ban on AWs is the end of it or a ban on more than 10 round mags is the end of it, you are deluded.

Instead of 26 dead, it could have been 15, 13, 11 ... yes, I think the families of the 15, 13, 11 would think it would be worth it to have had a 10 round limit.
