“We DO Need Large Capacity Magazines”

Damn right! In NY Gov. @$$h&*e ranted that magazines should be limited to 7 bullets. Yet when did you ever hear of one perpetrater commiting a home invasion? In most cases a home invasion consists of at least three perps. Seven bullets are not enough to defend one’s family.

Plus you will need a lot more than 7 rounds to take down the drone that is launching missiles into your house.

MILLER: The high-capacity magazine myth
Anti-gun crowd deliberately misleads the public

Snips:

“Even though Mrs. Feinstein used to carry a handgun in San Francisco for her own personal protection, she does not realize what other gun owners know: It can take about two seconds, or less, to drop an empty magazine and insert another.

Criminals are likely to carry as many magazines as they need, but individuals with their guns concealed for self-defense purposes often aren’t able to bring extra magazines. Especially in a stressful situation, it can take several rounds to stop a dangerous criminal.

The limitation on magazine capacity is a direct handicap on the right to self-defense. Mrs. Feinstein’s entire bill infringes on the right to keep and bear arms, but her randomly selected magazine restriction is one of the most offensive provisions.”

Emily Miller is a senior editor for the Opinion pages at The Washington Times.
