Unfortunately, money and blustering bull**** still talk louder than
rationale. Myself, I think there should be a bounty on NRA lobbyists.
$5 per head, 360 day open season, no bag limit. If still alive, no
bounty, go finish the job first.

Yeah, you have the bluster part right, Lennie.

Jeez, I hate gun control arguments. They're such a bunch of crap, and it
makes me sick that intelligent people like you and John can fall for such
transparent bull****.

(gun control argumentation, snipped)

When I see somebody at the range with a big clip hanging down from some
little semiauto gun, my blood boils.

Really? How odd. It doesn't bother me one bit.

He's part of the problem -- that is,
both the image problem and a real problem, which is that violent kids, and
nutballs, and murderers love 'dem big magazines.

I'm none of the above, and yet I understand the utility of
large capacity magazines.

This is an
off-the-reservation thing to say, but I believe they should be sacrificed in
the name of sanity and social comity.

The 2nd Amendment isn't about deer hunting or social comity.

I'm not a purist about anything,
except using natural hackle and dubbing on my dry flies, and I'm willing to
toss big magazines over the side in the name of good sense,

Big magazines ARE very sensible.

and as a symbol
of responsibility among gun owners. And I don't give a flying **** what
arguments Gunner makes about it. g

I understand that you don't care about the arguments put
forth by those who disagree with you. But when did that
detail ever stop anyone??? The 2nd Amendment guarantees my
right to keep and bear arms for the defense of self, family,
friends, neighbors and country. Large capacity magazines
make a firearm a better tool for that purpose, and thus are
a Good Thing(tm). You'll notice that the military and
police, tasked with the same duty to defend, do not limit
themselves to 10 round magazines when 30 or 40 round
magazines are available. I see no reason I should either.
