Virginia Tech Review Panel's Assessment of Magazine Bans

[tulsamal]

a morbid thought, but many of those big sticks that are not OEM or mec-gar jam. Arizona may have been aided by an inexperienced gunman who ran substandard products because he just went for capacity.

Same thing I thought. I thought the same thing after the Colorado shooting. Many of these mass shootings are conducted by people who aren't really gun people. They have just shot a gun enough to know how it works. So they go out and buy the biggest capacity magazines they can buy without realizing that some of these oddities are considered merely fun toys by serious people. Instead of a giant drum mag, they would be far better off picking magazines of the same type and size that the military actually uses. Or their local police.

So even though the anti's are too uneducated about guns to realize it... those "most feared" super capacity drums are a good thing for the mass shooters to buy! (And once their gun actually does jam, most of them don't know how to clear it.)

I didn't know the VT shooter used a Walters P22 as one of the guns, was it used to kill any of the victims?

I honestly don't know. I need to finish working my way through the official report, but so far, I've not seen a breakdown on how many rounds were fired from each gun, or how many people were victimized with the Glock vs. the P22.
