(1,309 posts)if we do this, the attraction for this gun will disappear and the threat of high volumes of masacres will fade away. Without high capacity magazines, this gun is actually a gun that isjust too costly onammujnition for target shooting and too inaccurate at distance for hunting. It then becomes the rifle that with its short stock and lack of high recoil lets ladies protect their home, which is what the NRA media wants to use to keep them in existence.
We should not get into discussions of the exact characteristics of one gun versus the other but rather ban the features of the gun which changes it from a valid home and family asset usable by most weapon and men to the weapon that can fire over a hundred rounds per minute into a classroom of children. That characteistic is just not available without magazines which hold more than five rounds. So lets lower Feinsteins offer of 10 rounds -obviously proposed as compromise to the NRA to 5 rounds which actually protects both our families and those of others too. Five not ten. It makes a big difference.
