In reply to the discussion: Gun owners say goodbye to high-capacity magazines at Freedom Shoot (Colorado) [View all]BainsBane
(53,026 posts)74. What is so onerous about reloading?
Common uses for high-capacity magazines are mass shootings, like in Aurora. That is why the Colorado legislature banned them. Imagine their thinking people might actually care about the lives of their fellow citizens more than the horrendous inconvenience of taking a few seconds to reload a gun. I suppose they couldn't imagine the profound selfishness of the gun nuts who would evade the law.

Nope, but I have been to enough gun stores, gun shows, etc., in my early years to know gun owners
