I was wondering how soon someone would bring up that irrelevant point
In fact there could be laws that could have mitigated the damage and death toll (ban on high capacity magazines for example or even much more stringent requirements)
Have you ever changed a magazine on an AR15?
It takes seconds. Slightly longer than it takes to blink your eye. All you have to do is hit the magazine release and your current mag falls on the floor. Grab another mag from you belt, vest, or pocket and pop it in. Pull the charging handle back to chamber a round and you are good to go. Seconds.
If no one is shooting back at you you could kill exactly the same amount of people with three 10 rounds magazines as you could with one 30 rounder. The proposed "high capacity" ban is an enormous waste of time.
What the .gov needs to do is enforce the laws that are already on the books. Also, stop giving probation and infinite second chances to violent criminals. Stop making felons into the victims because of their race. Start protecting the real victims of violent crime. When murdering rapist criminals get caught in the USA illegally, deport them. Also, If a criminal tries to purchase a firearm and the existing background check catches it, FOLLOW UP!
That will never happen. We already have thousands of gun laws. The .gov doesn't enforce them so it will appear that the laws aren't working and we need, you guessed it, more laws. It's a cycle of bullshit and I can only hope that the few Americans left that have half a brain start to point that out to the Erica Laffertys of the world.
