High Capacity "Clip-o-phobia"

Gunned Down By The "Extended Capacity Clip"

quote:

George Stephanopolus had an interview this morning with Kelly O'Brien on Good Morning America. Her fiancee, Gabe Zimmerman, was the Rep. Gabby Giffords' outreach coordinator in Tucson and was killed by Jared Loughner in the Tucson shootings.

Ms. O'Brien was on GMA to lend her support to bills being introduced into the Arizona House and Senate which would limit magazine capacity to 10. She is a sympathetic figure and you grieve for her loss. I think we can expect to see more of her as well as others related to this shooting being used to push for restrictions on standard capacity magazines.

This high capacity "clip" myth is almost as misleading as the Americans guns cause Mexican crime myth. Gun Shy can change the supposedly much safer ten round mags so quickly, that you can barely notice the change in the shooting rhythm. To give you an idea how fast a mag can be changed click here.

The powers to be have a much bigger problem that they need to focus on, and stop worrying about the "hardware", because the problem is in the heart of those who seek to perpetrate evil.
