Maybe the guy didnt want to kill her and just take her money.

last resort of the anti gun crowd depend on the high moral fiber of the criminals

I say we ban small caliber firearms and make everyone who has a home and kids purchase 50 cal desert eagles and load em with hollow points.

No.  Look, there is a targeting issue when you go with high calibers.  I likey a 9 mm hydroshock hollowpoint.  I am not a very big person and to expect me to be able to hold down the muzzle raise on a higher caliber is rather. . . insensitive.

Here is my problem with high cap magazines, anything over ten rounds anyway.

Coming from my military and law enforcement careers, first it as a sniper, one shot, one kill.

As a cop, if you dont hit them with the first two or three rounds, what the hell makes you think you are going to have better luck with the remaining 27?

Unless you are shooting into a pack of wild hogs, thirty round mags dont mean you are going to hit your target.

I had a partner as a cop, big guy, 6'9" and about 300-320. I saw him take a .38 in the chest and the damn bullet lodged between two ribs. He promptly slapped the shit out of the druggie that shot him for ruining a new tailored shirt.

IMO a 38 has very little stopping power, a .357 is much better.

But I hit a 300 pound wild hog with my 50 desert eagle and stopped that sucker in mid stride.

So if your home is being invaded by a 300 pound wild hog, a 50 cal is better than a 38.

Dammit, this is the second time I've been excited to see a thread about magazines, only to learn it was actually about guns.

my problems with high capacity magazines is that they encourage spray and pray of course if they are shooting at me thats how I want them to do it, not like you would that said Aylee has a point and as I said earlier better to have them and not need them than to need them and not have them

Lovemuffin, most domestic defense situations are at ranges of 15 feet or less. If you dont hit the intruder with the first two rounds, you are, in the current street lingo, screwed.

In point of fact, an assault rifle in a situation like that is pretty much useless. I have a number of semi automatic rifles, three based on the AR15 frame, but my home defense weapons are my .45 1911 colt automatic and a .50 desert eagle.

As stated earlier, large cap mags basically are for spray and pray shooting, at least in a rifle. Granted if the max cap is 13 or 14 in a pistol, then it should be allowed.

You are correct about domestic defensive situations and in most cases a long gun is not a great choice. The need for a high cap mag in a long gun would come down to varmints or some such thing but the best reason to own them is it horrifies the likes of certain sanctimonious crooked politicians. I still fail to see the logic for banning them. A ban will do zero to stop firearm mass murder. What's the point ?

Gun rights groups say Georgia home invasion proves their point

This woman retreated to the attic with her kids and a .38 six shot revolver. The intruder kept coming. As a last resort she shot him. She hit him with five of the six shots (which is pretty amazing in itself) in his face and torso. She knocked him down long enough for her and her kids to leave the house safely. He survived and made it outside to his car and crashed into a tree.

Had she not hit him with all of those five shots or had there been more than one intruder this story could have ended much differently. She emptied her weapon but it possibly saved her and her kid's lives. Everyone who wants to be able to legally own a higher capacity firearm is not some crazed gun fanatic. Many are just people who want the right to protect themselves.

To the mods: If this post is out of line please kill the thread and accept my apologies. I've given up trying to keep track of what we can and cannot start threads about. Keeping abreast of the daily changes around here is only slightly more difficult than tap dancing in quicksand.

Fine.

She would have been better off with a 9 mm and two ten-round clips.

This has to do with military assault rifles and 15-20 mags of 30 rounds each, just how?

Bama, I was being sarcastic, personally I have found that most women I instruct seem to be able to handle a .40 caliber automatic with little trouble. Strangely enough, every one of the women I have instructed always wants to try my desert eagle, which is good for a few laughs.

I have heard both good and bad things about the 10mm, but have never fired one.

As for the man that got into a gunfight while camping.

While the only firefights I ever got involved in was while I was in the army, and actually can be counted on one hand, my sniper rifle, in my opinion was quite useless. In those situations I would have preferred an M16.

As for the whole ban idea proposed by Feinstein. The first ban did nothing to prevent mass shootings, Columbine happened in the middle of the first ban.

I think the effort should be put in better back ground checks, and having mental conditions reported to the proper authorities so it would show up on a background check.

I agree with Tazzy's idea about a mandatory weapons security reg, enforcing a minimum standard of securing semi automatic rifles, but I really cannot see how it could be enforced.
