People with poor shooting skills want larger magazines in their guns

[CreekDog]

if they could hit their target, assuming they don't have multiple ones in quick succession, then they wouldn't need a large magazine.

or so it seems.

1. My guess is they go to the range or some open space and blast the shit

out of something for fun.
I know some folks who don't own guns but being in a position of authority they get to go to a range and fire all the automatic weapons the county sheriff has. They say it is fun.
I don't know of any other logical reason to have a large capacity magazine.
I don't buy any other gunner explanation for owning them.

2. I compete in shooting competitions where eveybody has large magazines

And they are much more accurate than I am.

[CreekDog]

3. then why do they need them?

[Travis_0004]

4. multple targets.

[CreekDog]

5. how many targets?

how many shots to kill each person do they need?

7. it's ben suggested that large cap magazines be kept at the range..

and people can check them out for use while there. reaction?

9. That sounds good to me, along with the AR. nt

10. The shooting range I go to is unstaffed

I show up, use my issued key to open the gate if I'm the first one there, and start shooting.

Who is going to keep track of the magazines? I suppose we could install some lockers and operate on the honor system, but that would just be a target for thieves. What about people that have shooting ranges in their back yard?

What about when I travel to a shooting competition? Will the new range have magazines for every possible gun, so I can compete?

11. then go to one that is

i don't see why a whole class of items that makes a gun far more dangerous needs to be taken home because you can't be bothered to select a different range.

if you can't find a good range, why should we trust you with a larger magazine?

[Travis_0004]

12. I'm quite happy with the one I go to now, and it is a good range

[CreekDog]

13. i don't see why any laws should allow you to have high capacity magazines at home

that's all.

it's for your convenience, not for yours and your family's safety.

14. Tough shit

As I'm saw you noticed, there isn't a lot of demand in congress to change any laws right now.

17. Ok time for you to get out

If you're going to be that way i'm going to tell you this group is for support of gun control. Not only don't you, you're rude about it.

You probably aren't going to last at DU based on wanting to act this way in a safe haven group.

18. people like you have no desire to effect change that may inconvenience you in the slightest..

and it will indeed be though shit for people like you, because changes will come sooner than you care to admit.
