It may take only a second or to exchange a magazine, but a Glock is
reported to be able to shoot more than one round per second, so there
is a pause in the shooting when exchanging magazines. Moreover the
apparently easy availability of these huge magazines to persons who
should not even have a firearm of any kind is proof enough for me
that it is irresponsible to have them available. Just like it is
irresponsible for a gun dealer to state that it is illela but this is
how you make a semiautomatic gun/rifle into a fully automatic one.

There IS a line to be drawn somewhere.

And the reasonable one is where the founders drew it--"A well regulated
militia . . ." That means an M-16 with multiple 30 round magazines.

Here we have a case of carnage involving a large-capacity magazine. You
would outlaw these devices because there was ONE event in recorded history
of their misuse. In essence, you would penalize thousands to prevent a VERY
rare event.

A pitiful mindset indeed.

When a politician says "if it only helps one . . ." get out the
Preparation H because you're about to take it up the butt.
