Yes, I do think that it will CURB such killings from happening. If the events of the past week had been attempted by the person several years ago, then a 30-bullet magazine could not have been easily purchased. What? Was it 20 people who were injured/killed in that incident? At least 10 would have been spared.

Yes, the planes were taken over with the use of boxcutters, but ALL of the people were not killed with boxcutters. In fact, not even "most" of the people were killed with boxcutters. They were killed when the planes crashed. So technically, you are still wrong.

Yes you could easily buy high cap mags,you simply paid more,and depending upon the particular firearm,some high caps were pretty cheap.
Why couldn't the killer simply have two pistols?

Or how about this:

Will they also limit the number of clips you can carry in your pockets? And should a citizen who might be attempting to repel an assault, carrying said high-capacity clip run out of ammo or back up clips, would an assailant be required to cease his assault... to keep things even, of course.

Yes, the fastest reload is a second or even third gun.

Let's ban pockets! If banning pockets saves just a few lives it will be worth it.

Actually, yes, a 30 round magazine (not bullet, magazines hold cartridges, not bullets ) could be purchased quite easily when the AWB was in place. Apparently you refuse to accept FACTS presented but only hold to your preconcieved notions of an alternate reality.

The "Wild West" is a myth created in dime store books and Hollywood. Get a grasp on reality, or at least on accurate history.

Ironically enough the more people of your mindset clamor to ban items like full capacity magazines the more people will feel compelled to purchase them.
