“magazines of more than 15 clips”

How many clips fit into a magazine these days?
I have trouble jamming more than 5 into a ten-round 5.56 magazine.

“No constitutional right, even the Second Amendment, is absolute.”

Nothing like dumping the Constitution in one statement.

Our GOP in action.

There have been far more people who needed the extra ammo to defend themselves than have gone on rampages with it. Nothing is perfect, and limiting cars to going only 10 mph would sure cut down on auto accident deaths, but transportation would really stink.

"...Over the course of the last four or five years, we’ve had 34 mass shootings using high capacity magazines,” said Rep. Rhonda Fields, D-Aurora..."

It strikes me as odd that she gives a very specific number of "mass shootings," but can't pin it down to a specific time frame. Does she mean 34 in Colorado in the last 4-5 years, or in the US as a whole? Does this include gangstuh-on-gangstuh shootouts and drive-by's?

The common thread is that democrats are gun-grabbers.

Never, ever, ever vote for a dem. The 2A and democrat rule aren’t compatible.

Call me picky etc, BUT the headline insinuates The US House of
Representatives approved the ban, which would have required several R’s to bolt.
Not that they wouldn’t have etc but it would have been nice to mention it was the Colorado House.

the common thread i’ve seen is that the idiot nutbags have essentially chosen gun-free zones on purpose so that they don’t encounter anyone who can fight back with equivalent force, and when they do, they surender or kill themselves.

the solution is no gun free zones anymore and let citizens arm themselves to defend themselves when a nutbag pops up.

When are our crazy politicians going to admit it’s people; not guns that kill. Criminals are going to get guns no matter what.

"That is the common thread we see in these massacres. They’re using these high-capacity magazines so they can unload as many bullets as they can to kill as many people as they can, in our schools, in our theaters and in our churches.”

Nope, thanks for playing.

The common thread is that in all of these venues, either by policy or law, people are forbidden from carrying a weapon capable of stopping the killers.

From the Long Island Railway to Columbine, it is the same thing: a pen full of sheep with a wolf and the sheep had the sheepdogs' teeth pulled.

More of that failed policy will yield no change in results.

“No constitutional right, even the Second Amendment, is absolute.”

Well, gee, fella - we'll just turn off your microphone right now then.

When we think you have something to say worth hearing, we'll turn it back on.

I'm sure you won't mind having someone else determine when and how you can enjoy that pesky 1st Amendment right, now, will you?

So some states will have 7, some 10, some 15 rounds limits? Some none? I assume the 7 round ones will have least gun crimes and there should be a linear progression to more as the mag round limit goes up?

This is apparently the liberal logic. Unbelievable.

Bad guys intent on doing harm carry many magazines. Good guy, not anticipating trouble, carries one legal but reduced capacity magazine. Studies show that under stress even trained professionals often need more than one high capacity magazine to subdue a target. Who does this bill favor? You have limited the right of an honest person to defend him or herself. Keep passing laws of this type and soon (if not already) we will be ruled by gangs of thugs, government included.

If this passes you can bet they will be back for more after the next killings.

It is if they believe no one is killed in the first ten rounds, only the last ten or twenty.
