Magazines the problem
Just how stupid can we be? The blatant lies foisted on the American people defy logic. For instance, the “bump-stock” modification of firearms was designed to allow handicapped individuals more easily use a firearm. Never mind that it allowed that creep in Las Vegas to kill more people.
And how about, we need to sell silencers to the public to protect their hearing. Imagine if the shooter in Las Vegas had silencers; it might have taken law enforcement twice as long to find him. Will these lies never end? In truth, however, these attachments and modifications are not the real problem. The real problem is high capacity magazines. I’ve done my share of hunting. Never did I have the opportunity to fire more than two rounds at a game target.
By the second shot the game is either down or gone. Of course if I had a 20 or 50 round magazine I could have blown all of the cover down so the game would have less places to hide.
