How about the legal marijuana in CO now and people are already serving pot brownies to those that are unaware? Should it be banned again already?

what I read the other day said the Aurora shooter fired his shots from 1 rifle with a 100 round magazine.
The thing is the majority of these mass shootings are being carried out with firearms that were purchased legally. That is why saying all that will happen if you ban high capacity mags is criminals will buy them doesn't really carry much weight. Like I said earlier these aren't career criminals these are 1 time criminals.
At a MINIMUM lets make folks register high capacity magazines. Let's close the private sales loopholes and make people register all gun transactions and pass background inspections. The social side of things is certainly where the money needs to be spent but man legislating the social side is going to be even harder than the gun side.

These mass shootings aren't done by career criminals. They are done by one time criminals who are mentally ill. The shooter in Colorado had a 100 round magazine. He killed all those people without having to reload once. At least if they have to reload or switch weapons there is a small window of opportunity to escape or take out the gunman. Banning guns isn't the answer. However getting rid of things like 100 round and 30 round clips seems reasonable.Originally posted by skippabcool View PostColumbine or Aurora?
I thought in the Aurora he had several handguns. I could be wrong.Originally posted by Bruizza View Postwhat I read the other day said the Aurora shooter fired his shots from 1 rifle with a 100 round magazine.
