We should have a debate about what the country feels is right and wrong regarding arms. I dont think we should sell 100 round magazines for AR15s. Theres absolutely NO POINT in selling a high capicity magazine unless its for the military. But that opens up a can of worms that leads to what else the govt thinks is unacceptable which i dont want it to lead to.
We banned high capacity magazines before - and crime rates did not drop because of it. What is the point of doing it now? You think that 15 shots is going to be more dangerous than 10 in the hands of a law-abiding citizen? Criminals will just carry more illegally obtained weapons.

The government has the tendency to continue to take from the citizens. They used to only have property and poll tax. Now, we have taxes on everything, and they always increase, and don't drop. Everytime you give up a little bit of freedom, they come back looking to take more.
