    Thank you for reaching out to me about the proposed repeal of the magazine limit. While I understand and appreciate your concerns, I stand by the 2013 law and do not support Senate Bill 7.

    My concern is that it was far too easy for James Holmes and others like him to acquire high-capacity magazines and large quantities of ammunition. I know the magazine limit can’t prevent every act of violence by a deranged individual, but I believe it can reduce the probability that future acts of violence could be as calamitous as Aurora or Newtown.

    I understand that you may be unhappy with this response, but I hope you appreciate my giving you a straight answer. Please continue to contact me about the issues that matter to you most.

    Ask him what scientific study shows that magazine capacity restrictions would have any effect on a mass shooting, and why does he think 15 dead kids are okay?

    "You're right. Even one dead kid is too many. We should get rid of them all."

    What you are missing is it prevented 3 other attacks. You never heard about them because they didn't happen. Of course if those dastardly big cap clips weren't banned, all those innocent lives would be lost. If you doubt it, prove it incorrect, web links are acceptable.

    No, it was the enhanced interrogation that prevented those 97 other attacks. Prove me wrong. LOL ... (I know you were being sarcastic.)
