Like some, I am not certain as to what the number of rounds, magazines or mag capacity has to do with much of this. It really wouldn't make a difference if it was a modern sporting rifle, or an assault weapon that fires full auto.

It has to do with the number ONE. One idiot went off the edge, broke numerous laws that gun grabbers are not pointing out why they didn't stop him and just how more, with stricter penalties for violation will help (how do you punish a suicide suspect more?) and quite frankly, being in a gun free zone, that should have eliminated all of this.

It really is about that one person, no longer here, no longer to be affected by all of this legislation, vs. the millions of law abiding citizens who are now going to have legislators try to make more laws against us, and the next ONE. And, if we all obeyed and marched to the letter of the law, that ONE will still violate the law, with less of a chance of any law abiding citizen being equally ready to face that threat. Laws to make us victims? ONE BIG MISTAKE.
