[QUOTE]Originally posted by Sean: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Fabrux: [qb] You remind me of another young conservative gunner bloke we had long ago. Thankfully he grew up. ;) [/qb][/QUOTE]A bit before my time, I take it? :p And, for the record, I am far from conservative. Despite my support for gun and knife rights, which is quite strong, I vote democrat, for the most part. While I like my guns and knives, I'd also love for my gay friends to be able to marry, or to be able to afford healthcare when I am out in The World. Pensive, realistically, 10 rounds should do you. By limiting things like magazine capacity, however, I hate to say it (because it is apparently the typical "gun nut" stance), we're a step closer to having all rights to firearms taken away. I'd hate to see that happen. While I hate NY's laws...I can live with them, and if I can't stand them, I'll move to another state that does support my rights. But once those rights are gone...they ain't coming back. The UK took a similar mentality way back after WWII...and now handguns are plain illegal to own, and they have gone so far as to make all folding knives with locking blades, and blades over 3" illegal to carry, because they pose a "risk to public safety". Instead of focusing on the idiots who are stabbing people, and making sure they don't, they just made sure that no one could carry such knives. This, when apparently most stabbings occur with kitchen knives. :rolleyes: It just bugs me...those that want to limit such "dangerous things" believe that everyone who owns a gun or knife is a danger to society. The problem is that once those who used to be able to exercise their rights responsibly are unable to, you still have to deal with the idiots and criminals who were the real danger in the first place. They will do what they want regardless of what the law says. That's like giving the whole class detention because one asshole wouldn't stop talking, or making cars illegal because a handful of idiots drink and drive. [/QB][/QUOTE]
