No, they should not enact a large-capacity gun magazine ban. All it serves to do is make manufacturers and private parties hoard large capacity magazines for selling.. Ever hear of "pre-ban" weapons being sold while a ban is in place? Perfectly legal, and lucrative.. since weapons and weapon parts made before a ban usually do not count as illegal when the ban is in place, it just makes their value go up ridiculously.
I'm in favor of leaving things the way they are.. just because large capacity magazines are available doesn't mean that all gun crimes are committed with them.
People like you, who think of themselves and thier comfort levels, more than the importance of liberty and the Constitutionally affirmed rights which make this country unique, are exactly why so many gun owners are so very staunch in protecting their rights.
I think it is sad for America that people like you are so willing to surrender away the freedoms and Constitutionally affirmed rights of individuals and would kiss this country's uniqueness goodbye because it simply isn't important to you. Obviously you are not a student of history and such short sighted thinking is usually what leads to the downfall of free countries.
No, not many, but I do have have half a dozen at least. And I have a CCL...even though I really don't carry that often.
Yeah, it is a comforting thought. I can defend my family and home by matching force with force. What do you rely on as your means of taking care of you and yours?
A good security system and the security in knowing that through the efforts of my husband and myself we live in a community that is safe (as it can be). And my killer labrador T-bow!!

Shame on YOU and those who think like you!
By people like me do you mean a law-abiding, tax paying American? I am not advocating the revocation anyones right to bear arms...just the wisdom not to have anyone armed to that extent. Just a side note, in any of my posts have I resorted to denegrating anyone elses beliefs? Yes or no ? Please
The response I am replying to could have stopped at the first sentence.
However, in response, there are MANY people who are "X" military, trained not only in the proper use of deadly force, but in making very quick decisions in it's use.
No.
Banning things does not change basic human characteristics one bit.
The terrorist Timothy McVeigh used a rental truck diesel fuel and fertilizer in the killing of 168 people and the destruction of a Federal Building.
We aren't going to ban rental trucks, diesel fuel or fertilizer. To do so would be silly, not to mention totally useless.
The 9-11 terrorists used box cutters to hijack airplanes. The 9-11 terrorists used those airplanes to kill almost 3,000 people.
We aren't going to ban box-cutters and airplanes and even if we did, it still would NOT work, or PREVENT terrorism.
Banning this or that is a stupid infantile knee-jerk reaction to a crime in a society that refuses to profile possible criminals and refuses to lay the blame at the individual criminals to begin with. We (some of you) are trapped in this notion that there is no such thing as evil and no such thing as crazy evil people.
We (or some of you out there) habitually almost in a rodent like fashion continually jump onto the rat-wheel and run thinking you're getting someplace.
Crime is the result of evil intentions in people, who act on those intentions, not objects.
Objects don't commit crimes, People do. Weak minded people brought up in a touchy-feely P.C. society, a society with out a moral compass are destined to abuse, to use for evil intent anything they get their hands on, be it drugs, cars, money, firearms, tools, boats, airplanes....anything.
If an insane person commits a crime, lock up the insane person.
