Well, they aren't the sharpest tack in the pack........
----------------------------------------------------------
Democratic Rep. Diana DeGette on high capacity magazines......
Asked how a ban on magazines holding more than 15 rounds would be effective in reducing gun violence, DeGette said:
“I will tell you these are ammunition, they’re bullets, so the people who have those know they’re going to shoot them, so if you ban them in the future, the number of these high capacity magazines is going to decrease dramatically over time because the bullets will have been shot and there won’t be any more available.”
What she didn’t appear to understand is that a magazine can be reloaded with more bullets. According to the Shooter’s Log, only early on were magazines for AR-15s designed to be disposable, but the military changed that and now magazines are used several times. In handguns, a magazine is designed to be reused hundreds of times.
After her remarks, the audience in the forum at The Denver Post building chuckled.

But if it will save just one child....isn't it worth it? ::)
Of course, when you are speaking to a group of like-minded people, why let facts get in the way?

I'm all for saving men woman and children, I don't know anybody who would not be that way, that is unless they are insane or bent on destruction.
Most have already forgotten about the OKC Alfred P. Murrah Federal Building bombing, my family has not. I had family and friends either in the building or at the YMCA just down the road. Fortunately, my relatives survived, but are deeply scared either emotionally or physically. Two of them were in the daycare center.
Did my family try to ban Ryder and U-Haul trucks, fertilizer or diesel? It's not the instruments they use, it's the insane people behind the instruments. If they are dead set in wanting to do harm, they will find a way.

I haven't forgotten...I was taking the I35/I240 exit toward Tinker when it happened....original thoughts were some sort of gas or sewer explosion. I will also never forget walking around the Murrah building after the explosion....or the mob that was waiting for McVeigh to come out of that jail. Part of me wished the officers would've just let home go....
I had a chance to visit OKC a few years ago...the park is very nice and a peaceful place!
My statement was tongue in cheek...it's the rallying cry for the do-gooder activists and politicians.

Yes, I agree. But he is burning in hell now.

Yes, and I took it that way. I knew there was no disrespect intended. You would be surprised, maybe not, how many have forgotten though.
