For me, it gets back to the ridiculous defence of some of these proposed limitations. There is NO need for magazine capacity larger than 5-10 rounds, other than to equip battle troops. There is no need for automatic weapons, and there is no need for replica assault rifles.
You can say you're losing a small calibre, or you're shooting varmints etc, etc, but it's all bull.
Like in the aurora thread, I feel dirty responding as someone with an intest in firearms. I don't want my access to firearms prohibited, but then, I'm also a firearm 'enthusiast' with zero interest in automatic weapons, carbon fibre chassis', and various means of circumventing or meeting the bare requirements of firearm ownership like barrel length or round capacity.

I just don't see where in any world that average Joe needs an assault rifle, I don't see where a 20 or 30 or larger round magazine is required.
I even question whether magazine fed pistols are something that really needs to be available to the general public.
Modern day battlefield capable weapons are the ultimate rage weapon, they're incredibly accurate and economical.
If you need a thirty round clip to hunt deer you're ether lazy or inacurate.
You don't need a thirty round clip or an assault rifle for home defense, if fact a pistol would probably be preferable for home defence. where your in a confined space. Probably the best weapon for home defence would be a shotgun since its almost like using a flame thrower.
I get that the whole idea of militia's and 2nd ammendment rights to bear arms is there to protect citizens from a corrupt government. But really your assault rigle or uzi is pretty useless against a government backed by armoured cav, advanced aircraft and highly trained soldiers who do killing for a living. Good luck taking out a tank with a bush master
Maybe its the rum talking, but after last weekends tragediy and the ones before that, the second ammendmant right to bear arms seems utterly ######ed.
