So, how about you try it since Greg won't answer the question... and
remember, I support the second. But I am starting to wonder why you need
a 30 round clip?

Since when do we base what we can buy by what we need. Nobody NEEDS a
motorcycle.



Sure you do, if you are gonna' race Motocross... What do you use a 30
round clip for?

Convenience. I can take 3 magazines to the range and be done with it.

In my M1A it also makes a nice rest for bench shooting.

Thank you...


The real issue here is, how effective is a ban? I had no problem
finding any kind of magazine I wanted during the Clinton ban. They
were just expensive. I am sure there are speculators buying up every
SA rifle and large magazine they can find.

I have no issue with how effective is a ban, I support your right to
bear arms. In fact I have been on the phone a lot recently with a member
of this group, helping a relative who has decided take classes and buy a
pistol for PP. At the same time, my youngest has always had a serious
interest in long guns and targets, no intention of hunting but she
really wants to shoot too.

I am amazed at what's available out there though, never really thought
of the machine that way, so much more than a hammer and primer I am
fascinated with the videos and the technology... Still not really
interested in going to the range... If I am going to spend a lot of
money to make a lot of noise, I would rather be burning race gas

Perhaps if you revoke the 5th and 6th amendment too, you might make a
small dent in legal sales. Kevin says most criminals get their weapons
from illegal sources.


I don't want to ban anything... If I were in charge the plan I would
produce would involve trained, armed employees being encouraged, better
tracking of weapons, and better enforcement with harsher penalties which
would probably close the gun show loopholes... That's where I would
start, even though I know that is just the tip of the iceberg...

I talk to my kid all the time, she says video games don't do ****.. My
response along the lines of.... "When I was a kid, each and every twelve
year old didn't know how to "clear a room" or "sweep a compound". They
didn't know how much time it takes to reload, have awareness to shoot
while taking cover, what that return fire might look like or sound
like......... When I was a kid, unless your parents had spent a lot of
time with you teaching you, most of my peers wouldn't even know what a
safety was on a semi-auto, thus probably couldn't really do **** with
one, even if we did get our hands on it...

These kids have hundreds of hours of tactical training now before they
attack a school or theater...

Either way, I am not for a ban, I am for a ban. In fact if it were up to
me, more good law abiding folks like Gene, Tim, or Bar would be
encouraged to have a CCL and use it... Just sayin'...
