In reply to the discussion: It's very simple: If you want new gun control laws, you need the cooperation of legal gun owners. [View all]Shankapotomus
(4,840 posts)Unfortunately, it doesn't do anything to prove why there shouldn't be round restrictions for gun cartridges.. I feel it is so obvious why that I shouldn't have to explain it and I think it is this kind of lack of awareness that allows the gun control debate to needlessly continue.
I shouldn't have to explain it but I'll say this:
It is always to a gun assailant's disadvantage to have to reload during an attack. Things could happen in a real life scenario that the gun training videos don't take into account.
1. The assailant's cartridges would more likely be in his pocket rather than conveniently handy on a barrel in front of him.
2. People fumble for things in their pockets all the time. We can only imagine how much more so that would be true in a real life gun attack.
3. Unlike at a shooting range, there could very well be multiple people trying to thwart an assailant in simultaneous and different ways. Not only people rushing him but throwing things at him. All that can add up to a not so predictably smooth cartridge transition as you might think.
4. Although, some in this thread claim round restrictions wouldn't matter, there have already been cases where it has, such as when Representative Gifford's was shot.
5. You can practice getting a gun demonstration correct over and over where everything is as expected. You can only perform a real mass killing once and the assailant has no real control over what or whom he may encounter.
But again, I don't think I should have gone down this list. It should be obvious to you and the two other gun advocates in this thread and the fact that it wasn't shows me just how lacking is the gun rights argument.
