Why 10 rds

Postby mmcnx2 on Sun Dec 23, 2012 6:13 pm

So someone help me understand why or how 10 is the magic number the anti's are comfortable with.

Here is my issue, lets say a bad guy as a std 9mm poly frame. He has 16 maybe 19 rds, even if he was extended he might get to 33ish. So let me do some math. A good shooter in USPSA does a mag swap in under 2 seconds, a rookie in 5ish, a nob maybe double or even triple that. So say it takes 15 seconds at worst case for a bad guy to change mags, and he would need to do that twice to equal his 30rd mag. So his elapsed time would be 30 seconds longer. Do we really think 30 seconds will make a difference in outcome of these events given police response times.

I would think we should focus on ways to the responce time reduce or preclude the event from ever occuring in the first place (oh wait the NRA already proposed that).

You are trying to apply logic to completely emotional decisions. Antis put no logical thought into their decisions.

They also have very short memories when it comes to gun control that don't work. The last hi cap ban was over and not revisited almost 9 years ago

You can't argue capacity numbers with an anti.

Because the logical conclusion to, "it just means more magazine changes," is: ban guns altogether, or, a capacity of ZERO rounds.

A logical individual thinks with either The Rational or Emotional part of their brains. Anti's are non Logical individuals only thinking with the emotional portion of the Brain, that is why in general you cannot discuss firearms with anti's they are not capable of remaining rational.

An anti that I work with made a comment about banning the 30 round magazines. My reply was, "would you feel better if 3 ten round magazines were used by this Lanza nut?"

They just need a nice round figure for ignorant people to accept before they push for zero round capacity magazines.
