However, with guns being baked in the pie in the states, it's not really possible to take away guns any time soon. It'd probably take 100 years or more to fully get things there into a similar position as it is here. That being said, I'm hoping for reductions on the amount of bullets that is possible to be fired by an experienced person in 1 minute. Say that you can only get off 25-30 rounds in 1 minute, verses a lot more with what it is now.
For example you can reduce the clip size from 30 or 100 down to ten and make it so that it takes an extra step or two to switch clips that just eats time, but doesn't otherwise impede the ability of the gun. Basically anything that can reduce the amount of damage one can do if they decide to go crazy like what happened several times this year.
I'd also be in favour of getting rid of guns that look like machine guns like an AK-47 or the Bush master etc. entirely from the public sphere but allow target ranges to have them so if you want to fire a machine gun, then you have the ability to do so in a controlled environment.
Also get rid of armour piercing rounds because they really do serve no purpose other than to kill people.

First off let me say that I have an Ar-15 , it isn't fully automatic . It only holds 20 bullets or so ... ( I think average on them is 30 but the clip/mag that I have is only 20). I am pretty sure there are 5 round clips as well.... I wouldnt argue to keep that. If that's a gun I can't have so be it. I have it because well ... it's fun to shoot. Target shooting , Turtle shooting... you know what country folk shoot at.
I am in agreement that fully auto weapons don't have a place in civilian's hands. I have shot a few fully automatic weapons in my life. They are pretty hardcore. However, after the first few shots . I couldn't hit the broadside of a barn with it so they are pointless to have...
I dont have a gun or know many people that have guns here that have clips in the 30-100 range. I just dont see it often. The aforementioned Uzi did I suppose but there is only one person I know with anything like that. The handguns that my friends and I use have 10 bullet clips in them.
