    Default [Video] Indiana Sheriffs Completely Debunk Effectiveness of Magazine Bans in Amazing Video

    Pulled from Magpul's facebook thingy. Thought it was well done. Obviously we know this but in case some family member, 'friend' or coworker needs some education, you can share this:

    http://gunssavelives.net/blog/video-...amazing-video/



    People who shoot competitively or who take more advanced firearms training courses that cover tactical reloads know how quickly a gun can be reloaded.
    There is a common misconception that if you just limit the number of rounds in a magazine then will significantly slow down an active shooter.
    Those of us well versed on reloading know this is not true. By doing tactical reloads (inserting a new magazine before your gun is completely empty) you can very, very quickly keep rounds in your firearm regardless of the number of rounds in the magazines.
    In this video made by Indiana sheriffs they test multiple scenarios and show that there is little to no difference in the time it takes to fire 30 round from 2 15 round magazines, 3 10 round magazines and 5 6 round magazines. They also demonstrate shooting multiple revolvers (the fastest way to put 30 rounds down range in the video) and the reload time on an AR-15 rifle.
    Don’t worry 1911 guys, they also show how quickly that weapon can get rounds on target despite its 7 round magazine capacity.

    But you can't do tactical reloads in real life. If you could, how would you tactical somebody while they were trying to reload?

    Girlscouts? Hmmm, I don't know... I think it's kinda dangerous to teach young girls self esteem and leadership skills.

    Great video and I don't doubt the overall results. However, Jim really picked up his firing pace with the small capacity mags. I really liked when they showed the person trying to reach the shooter during the reload.

    The know it's bullshit as a public safety issue; or if they don't know, they still don't care. Gun control is about control.
