He wasn't even asking for a ban on those large gun magazines, which would almost certainly have saved lives on that January day in Tucson when six people were killed and Rep Gabrielle Giffords was among 13 wounded by gunfire.

Only if the CRIMINAL perp were a law abiding citizen, when it came to his choice of magazines.

OTOH, none of my high capacity Glock magazines have ever done anything their smaller brethren haven't done, except give me 3-5 shot groups instead of 2, before reloading.

OTOOH, it takes almost the same amount of time to fire off 15 shots from 2-10 round mags as it does to empty 1-15 rounder; the real world difference is negligible...unless you're a fumble-fingers.

None of my "assault" rifles have ever misbehaved, either; at least not since I caught one trying to sneak out one night with the SUV. I paddled them both, and sent them to their rooms. Not a problem since.

My neighbor has been telling me that he has caught his HiCap mags smoking out behind the garage. I looked out behind the barn and darned if there isn’t cigarette butts all over the place. Sonething is going on. Don’t trust your magazines or weapons. Keep them locked up in the safe or in the holster you’re wearing.
