There is a constitutional protection for law abiding and competent adults to own weapons suitable to defend themselves from likely threats to their person and property, but there may be various limits to that right (DC v. Heller).
The most productive limitation would be a banning on the new manufacture of clips beyond 15 rounds, along with the classification of existing clips of greater than 15 rounds as a destructive devise under FOPA, subject to the same tax stamp requirements as machine guns.
After all, the classical definition of tyranny is having the lives of the many being at the mercy of a madman.
Yeah...you realize that would be stupid and pointless right...considering how easily French criminals get fully automatic rifles and 30 round magazines in a country that doesn't allow law abiding French citizens to have any guns.....and you expect our criminals to not be able to get any magazine they want.....
And mass shooters.....the Church shooter.....changed magazines 5 times, the Santa Barbara shooter, used the 10 round legal magazines allowed in California...
So again...pointless and unnecessary and only affects the law abiding.....
Why do you guys never look beyond the first step of your "solution" to what happens after you implement it.......it would save a lot of typing on our part.....
Anders Breivik got his clips from sources here in the US. These were floating around the internet precisely because they are commonplace, and the seller didn't have to pay $200 a piece, per year, to keep them in his inventory. Will some slip through the cracks? Sure. But at least we should make these socially retarded would-be spree-shooters work for it. How many of these types will survive long enough in the ghettos to purchase what they want? Probably none of them would have.
Fully automatic rifles and magazines are easy to get in Europe.....the shooters in France, at Charlie hebdo and in Marseille had them as did the shooters in Belgium, Sweden and Denmark.....and the killing the Norway killer did....he killed so many people because no one else was armed...not even the initial police......magaziine capacity had nothing to do with it......
