Diana Degette explanation on why a ban for high capacity mags

[68Charger]

I think the time has come for us to be reasonable too. Surely we can come to some kind of compromise here, after all we all condemn these kind of massacres and want to do everything in our power to prevent them from happening again.

I would be all in favour of agreeing to limit high capacity clips to say, ten rounds maximum, if they would agree to allow us to keep our 'assault rifles' and 'AK47s' and barrel shrouds. Who's with me?

Sure, you can limit my "clips" to 10 rounds, as long as the legislation clearly defines a "clip" correctly, and that definition does NOT include magazines...

She needs to learn the difference between clips and magazines

No damnit, not one more curb of our rights. This is not about what can be used in a crime, or hunters, or anything other than the principles of our constitution. We are a people based on popular sovereignty do not take away any of the their insurance against tyranny.

How would a requirement that certain products be purchased face to face rather than online be a curb of rights? Let's assume no paperwork is required. I don't actually consider this to be a solution that would work, but the right to shop on the Internet isn't a constitutional one.

Ok how about the limit on online sales is a true violation of the interstate commerce clause? Interstate commerce meant regulating states ability to put duties and tariffs on each other not regulate consumer goods just because they cross state lines.

Storefront you are forced to pay taxes while online you don't. Storefront faggot will upcharge it making it more expensive. So they can funnel our freedoms into nice little avenues that can be easily shut down later.

If you can afford suppressors and SBRs, you don't need to rob anyone. What if you could only buy large capacity mags in a storefront, not via online sales?

But would you have to go through a background check in order to get one?

Storefronts like "firing line" already jack the prices to almost double the online cost.

why is the elimination of a free market a good idea again?

Getting hung up on the distinction between magazine and clip, and the fact that the media uses them interchangeably is a distraction. They want the overall capacity of a given firearm reduced, the wording they use is somewhat irrelevant to all but a few folk that are semantically obsessed or trying to drive up their post count.

this is true, if a bill is passed, the lawyers who write it will not overlook that small detail

Ms DeGette, what do you plan to do to curtail dangerous drivers on the road? I'd like to ask you to consider a ban on high capacity fuel tanks. With today's modern fuel efficiency, there is no need for people to be able to travel hundreds of miles on a single tank of gas.
