....this is a very strange thread, and I'm not sure what the argument is given that virtually no one is saying we should ban THOSE types of guns. So I don't think I will bother saying anything more. I will, however, leave the results from this CNN poll that states that yes, people do in fact want common sense gun control regulation. Just, you know, don't ban all guns. Cause that'd be stupid

I agree with background checks, no guns for felons and mentally ill, and would be up for discussing high capacity magazines, but banning semi-automatics? I think some people don't know what a semi-automatic gun is. That basically means each time you pull the trigger, a single bullet comes out. That would be most guns, including most handguns, revolvers, and a ton of rifles.

Hey, I like my 30 round mags. I have a nice little speed loader so I can load up several mags and go out to target shoot. The more rounds per mag mean I don't have to stop and reload. I'm not shooting anybody, just targets. Why should I have to throw away my property when it won't have any effect AT ALL on criminals commiting crimes?
