Well, genius, what about when 2 or 3 criminals break into a house and the bad guys are each armed and have "only" 10 round each, and your gun has 10 rounds your are still at a disadvantage 20 or 30 to 10?

There is more to this discussion then just insane people attacking schools!

It won't stop anything.
You could do the same thing with a single shot .22 if you practiced enough.
I'd be willing to bet the governor's armed guards are NOT limited to 7 rounds!

It's ridiculous.

It doesn't matter how many rounds he has in a clip or a revolver, revolvers have speed loaders that only takes a moment to reload, clips can be popped out and replaced almost instantaneously.

Fewer murdered is an objectively much better outcome.

Magazine restrictions appeal only to those that are very bad at math.
Why don't you ask the survivors of the Tuscon shooting who subdued the shooter while he was changing 33-round magazines. How many lives would have been saved if he was subdued after changing a 10 round magazine?

Would a single molitov coctail do any less dammage ?
It is not the gun, it is the person.
I don't see an atack on abortion which murders far more humans than any gun ever did in this century.
People drive their cars into crowds and many are killed do you work to out law cars NO. becaue you own them and use one every day , it is your way to work and every other transportation need .
A gun is no different , it is a vehicle of defence against evil people intending harm on others ,no matter what the method they are using to abuse .
Would you bother calling the cops for help if they were not packing a gun?
BRITISH UNARMED COPS ARE A JOKE.
I met a woman that had just been in the bank and was getting into her car and a man caught her and was attacking and robbing her, she pullled a 22 from undr her car seat and shot the man which had disabled him enough for the cops that showed up a half hour later to handle . They thanked her and told her that she should have aimed a bit higher and ended his existance ,because he had just earlier bludgned a man to death in a convienience store with a base ball bat.
Are you going to deny women the ability to defend them selves against assults or familes from defending against home invasion ? Simply because you want to blame the instermant instead of the person wheelding it?
It is the disarmed that empower the criminal .
