We have about as much regulation already that I'm willing to support. Criminals don't care. We arrested a fella the other night for flashing a firearm at someone at a bar. When we found him we found out he commited several crimes in one sitting. He was arrested for aggravated assault, carrying a concealed firearm into an alcohol establishment, illegal carrying a firearm by a person convicted of certain felonies, possession of a firearm with obliterated serial number. After the firearms serial number was able to be identified from a combination of locations on the firearm it was discovered to be stolen and he was also charged with possessing a stolen firearm. Would magazine sizeor anything else really have made a difference? Whats one more charge to a street thug that is already committing multiple felonies by having the firearm anyway.
