For those who believe 10 rounds is enough (crime, compare, support)

^^^^ I don't think I'd want even a Playboy bunny if she was gonna smell like unicorn fart! But hey, to each their own!

As for freinkenstien and her ban...whe the cops and the criminals are guaranteed to only have 7 rounds each maybe I'll consider it...until then...I'll take the lead from the cops and be similarly equipped.

When fire extinguishers claim 30,000 lives a year I will be at the forefront proposing sensible safety restrictions.

When you take out suicides and criminals killed how many gun MURDERS are there?

So, since you're FOR restrictions for deadly items, where have your efforts been in regards to:

Malpractice
blunt objects
automobiles
gravity


Hmmm....all have a higher death toll than guns.

Oh, and BTW if you take the repeat offenders off the street you also take 80-90% of new murders off those gun numbers!

Why do I need to keep reminding you that of those 30,000 lives, 90% are done by people who can't own a gun legally or don't own a gun? :-)

Lawful gun owners aren't the ones doing most of the killings.

great, instead of fire extinguishers, how about cars instead. since those kill more people than firarms do in the USA.

What about cars, swimming pools, and all the numerous other things that kill more people than all guns combined?

Almost all of them have been made far more safe over the years without banning them. This is because none of them had a powerful and well funded lobby that opposed even the most common sense efforts to reduce associated deaths.

I like revolvers.

I think 6 is enough.

You must be kidding. NRA is powerful because it has support of lawful gun owners. Auto industry is FAR more powerful!!! The whole civilian firearm industry is about $10 billion in size compared to $500 billion for auto industry. Talking about powerful.

By the way, if you don't pull the trigger, how is a gun going to kill?

But with the ever increasing laws to make them safer, people are still killed...why is that?
