WSJ Poll: Should high-capacity ammunition magazines for rifles be banned?

[Vince49]

Done.

 

[jb1911]

Absolutely not. Why punish good people for the flaws of the corrupt?

Absolutely. These types of laws punish only the good guys.

voted a firm "no". as an unrelated side note, it was nice to see that the wsj journal referred to them properly as magazines and not as clips. gettin pretty sick of hearing that one

I vote no. How is a lower capacity magazine going to make a difference? The school shooter had several 30 rd mags and if those were not available I am sure he would have used 10 rd mags just as effectively. And to top it off I believe if he had gone in with semi automatic handguns only the outcome would have been tragically about the same.

NO

And unless something has changed, wasn't the rifle in the car?

WSJ: Should high-capacity ammunition magazines for rifles be banned?

The "sporting purpose" argument starts already. One of the comments on that page:

"But neither automatic nor semi-automatic weapons of any kind, nor handguns, nor high capacity magazines are necessary for hunting or home protection. "

No way, no how! I remember a time when nut cases were sent to mental institutions. Now they let them roam the streets.
