Where 3 rounds per bad guy just kinda seems like asking for trouble. He was in CA, and lived to tell about it which is impressive.

The battle that lies ahead is not to be fought with logic but with emotion.

I see no reason why we shouldn't have some emotion-based arguments in our quiver, however, I think emotional arguments should be the frosting and data-backed arguments should be the cake.

After all, if you're a parent, Sandy Hook probably hit you right in the emotional gut. There's no reason to suppress that in a debate, especially when debating whether or not a particular law would be effective.

Thanks for posting that, Justin. Well written and logical. Will you give permission to copy this and use it on other sites? (With the proper attribution, of course.)

very good read and great info... thanks

Great stuff Justin. Its been to long friend, we need to meet up for lunch sometime.

You can't reason with the anti-gun bastards. You can (sort of) reason with the 20-40% of voters who don't care a whole hell of a lot either way. Like it or not, our future depends a lot on people who don't care all that much either way.

I've fallen back on emotional arguments myself: As a parent, recent events taught me that in the end, I may be the one who has to protect my kids. If I have to use force to protect my children, I need every advantage I can get. Which, like Justin said, is nice frosting right on top of the logical argument cake.

Great thread OP!
Great info here.
Thanks!

Nice job, Justin

That's one of the best I've heard in a very long while.

I don't think of them as "High Capacity Ammunition Feeding Devices" they are just standard magazines. But that doesn't help the argument either.
