One other thing...I got into a "need" conversation with a co worker today...
He simply stated "why would anyone need a magazine that can hold 30 bullets?"
I replied with "why does anyone need a car that can go over the speed limit? Why does anyone need to eat 4500 calories in one sitting at a fast food restaurant? See, these two things combined kill more citizens in a year than firearms kill in ten."
He just sat here looking at me strangely and replied "Well...you're no better than the ones who want to ban guns then..."
I interrupted him with "No, no I'm not. I don't think fast cars or shitty food should be banned...I'm saying that the "do you really need xxxxxx, then it should be banned" conversation goes down a dangerous road. Guns are just an easy target."
He subtly changed the subject...
I need magazines that hold 30 bullets to protect myself from criminals who have magazines that hold 30 bullets, who don't give a fuck about laws that ban magazines that hold 30 bullets.
This knee-jerk reaction nonsense is just politicians trying to outlaw criminality.
I sincerely hope that this article is correct: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/41071206/ns/us_news-the_new_york_times/
