It may take only a second or to exchange a magazine, but a Glock

Moreover the apparently easy availability of these huge magazines

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.

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.

Indeed a line to be drawn. There is no real use for the large
capacity magazines other than to spray many rounds real fast. Ergo,
either prohibit or limit their sale. Indiscriminate distribution is
wrong. It really is that simple.

Here was one good reason:

Yes that was (past tense) a good reason. Nowadays in my daily routines
and on vacation, I do not go anywhere where such an attitude (which I
think was a very good one) is still necessary.
