Exactly my thoughts and that's exactly what he's saying.
It appears that Joe sees just two types of people: the police (aka: government) and criminals.
Why is it that the police will be exempt from magazine size limit? If it's against the law to have more than seven rounds, then bad guys won't have more than seven rounds, right?
Wrong.
The bad guys won't abide by the law, so in order to ensure that they aren't outgunned, the police get to have larger magazines.
Meanwhile, the law abiding public is regulated into a severe disadvantage when it comes to defense of self, family, and society.
It is incomprehensible to Joe and his big government types that ordinary average citizens may be called upon to be the good guy.
“The bad guys won’t abide by the law...”
It’s getting to the point where the good guys won’t either.
