Yet going for the same thing...there should be some type of similarity within your discussions.

There are laws like that. Can you be more specific?

3 ten round magazine or 1 30 round magazine...same things happens, except about 2 seconds slower...maybe....

You were saying? Yes, I understand he is a professional, however, he is just as fast or FASTER than an semi-auto...

That's really Pollyanna.
No, that is the anti-gunners view. Just like the recent thread about the homeowner shooting at the school kid needing directions....stupid homeowner....

And completely untrue.
As to the bolded, not so sure about some posters...........
I understand your concerns, but do you concede that many DO want to take firearms? Are you o.k. with ARs and AKs with 10 round magazines? In the state of Florida you can't buy a gun "on a whim" and take it home unless you have a CWP, which means the authorities have already crawled all over you and you have passed. And most of all...... do you concede that the 2nd amendment has nothing to do with whether or not someone NEEDS a particular firearm. I really am not trying to be argumentative here, but would like answers.
In addition to the post above ^, I would add another really recent example is Chuck Schumer couldn't support a judicial nomination because of the color of his skin. In what sick world is that "progress"?
It's a little more complex than what Tucker claims:
(CNN)Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer on Friday disputed the characterization that he voted against a Trump judicial nominee earlier this week solely because of his race. The Senate voted 69-28 on Thursday to confirm Marvin Quattlebaum, who is white, as a US district judge for South Carolina.
In an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer on Friday, Schumer slammed Republicans' decision to block two African-American nominees under then-President Barack Obama for the same vacancy so they could fill the seat with a Republican-backed nominee as making "no sense, and compounding the injury was the lack of diversity ... of the appointees."
"This seat has been vacant for a long time," Schumer said Friday. "The two people nominated were African Americans, and I said now this new fellow is white, and we need the bench to have real diversity."

It's not "complex". It's happening all over America, in all sorts of arenas, in the name of "diversity". It is, without any shadow of a doubt, regression.
You're right. One glimmer of light is that the NRA and gun industry are getting the same reputation that the tobacco companies have. Remember all those years when they insisted that smoking doesn't cause cancer? The NRA and munitions industry tried the same thing, using the"good guy with a gun "tagline. Now corporate America is stepping back from them and the general public sees how sleazy they are.

Do you concede that it has to do with a "well regulated militia" (which if you study your history you know that the United States relied mostly on militia u@its for national defense prior to their often disastrous performances in the War of 1812)...something most right wingers ignore. Not everyone for themselves.
The problem here is that everyone who got the free NRA coffee mug and bumper sticker thinks THEY are the NRA.
And, they aren't.
Wrong, it is a non-profit organization of people for gun rights.

He making change. I feel his fellow students murdered so he want change.
The fact is millennial's are the biggest voting block since the baby boomers and they are organized with a cause. We should be proud of these young people's dedication instead of putting them down and making fun of them. Just remember these kids may or may not take care of you in your old age.
