1. What percentage of intruders use a full-auto with unlimited rounds?
According to the gun banners all of them do, that's why they feel the need to ban them. According to them there is an assault weapon hiding behind every Subaru just waiting to unleash carnage on a gun free zone.

I suspect that if I'm ever in a panic situation where I need to fire more than 10 rounds, I'm probably going to hit other family members, pets, passing cars, the neighbors, the neighbors' pets, airplanes passing overhead, and the Avon lady before I nail the intended target. Jus sayin'.
That's good, everyone should know their limitations. However just because you're incapable in an emergency doesn't mean everyone else is too. Every single day people manage to use guns to defend themselves without shooting other family members, pets, passing cars, the neighbors, the neighbors' pets, airplanes passing overhead, and the Avon lady.
That we can agree with. It is why owning a firearm is not all that needs to be done. One must be proficient in the use of said firearm. If not, then yes you will have accidents etc....
Yes, we all agree to that point. Do you think 10 rounds is enough though?
The sadistic, dripping paranoia of the gun nuts is appalling to read. They concoct the most twisted, sick real/fantasy scenarios involving rape, murder and guns, to the point where I wonder if they are mentally ill.
For your information, I didn't make up that scenario. It's called force on force training. A new breed of training that has been used to successfully simulate real life deadly force situations. This training is mostly for police but we civilians can also go try it out.

I think that you should have as many as you would like. Not everyone trains the way some people do so they may need more than 10. Heck all depending on the situation even the most well trained would need more than 10 in some situations. The only people hurt with a ammo limitation is law abiding citizens in my honest opinion.
I always find these discussions rather amusing because the discussion is generally the very people who are least likely to ever encounter a violent encounter much less than one that requires deadly force.

Wow, I guess I won't be handing over $1,000 to you. :-)
