I am sure we will all feel safer when you get your anti-aircraft battery.
As for me; one shot, one kill! I have no use for the "marksman" who needs 30 rds.
The total lack of understanding and balance puts the NRA out of touch with practical shooters.
I do oppose banning guns for cosmetic reasons but would cheerfully watch all high capacity mags go the way of the tommy gun and the heavy BAR.
Until the .30 carbine the US army had no need for such high volume magazines because Real Americans could shoot.
What I see at the range today is pitiful. People who spend too much time gathering guns and not enough time using them.
(Stepping off my soapbox and slowly backing away...)
Who needs 30 rds ?
Well here's just one instance and there are more.
Not everyone is an expert shot.
In a widely reported incident, an ex-convict broke into a home in Georgia, when a woman defended herself and 9 year-old twins with a .38 revolver. She emptied all 6 rounds, striking the intruder 5 times. The intruder managed to flee and was caught by police twenty minutes later, about a mile away from the home, after he crashed his stolen car. That was one intruder, shot five times, with a weapon favored by police until about 1980. Statistically,
police marksmanship is not nearly this good, at about 23% nationwide and 17% in New York City.
What if there had been two or more intruders? What if one had been armed? Six bullets, ten or thirty might not be enough to protect you or your loved ones. Unlike on television and video games, bad guys don't fall down the instant they are hit. It takes 5-9 hits from a 9 mm pistol to stop a determined assailant, and based on wartime experience, the same from a .223 rifle like the dreaded "assault weapon" used in Newtown, Connecticut. Even though one bullet can kill, it won't necessarily stop an assailant before you are hurt or killed yourself. Do the math! Three assailants, 27 rounds, and you have three to spare if you're lucky.
