What was the magazine capacity of the firearms used in CT?
I have heard 30 for the AR.

The AHSA "we need to be disarmed" mantra was played twenty years ago when the NFA originated it.The time for parroting the "we're not the problem" mantra has come and gone. Like it or not the guns we lawfully enjoy for peaceable purposes ARE a part of the problem. To state otherwise is pure denial.
Don't make me trot out the old "Rosie O'Donnell's Spoon" maxim on you!
That seems to be EXACTLY what you want... only you want to GIVE it away.After participation and reading of this thread I have little hope we'll come out of this without loosing our shirt.
As others have said, what is true is TRUE. Time doesn't diminish the facts.You might as well while we're throwing around canned NRA talking points.
*best if opened before 1994

Who would abide by it? All the nations FFLs are going to stop selling that day just because he said so?
Here's my "input":Do you want to have any input on what's to go first?
No, you're under the wrong impression. The executive branch may be able to stretch things a bit and do a few "under the radar" things involving people caught in enemy combatant situations. That's a very far cry from a DIRECT assault on the 2nd Amendment, affecting millions of people. Ain't NO way.I was under the impression that by using the power of anti-terrorism, our government can basically do anything it seems fit (see GTMO) without regards to rights of citizens.
He's only going to "try" something that might have some chance of sustaining a legal challenge. An order such as you describe would be struck down before the ink was dry. He'd look like an utter fool, and that's not his style.Do not think he will let this pass without trying something to push the envelope. He may not be successful but he will try anything in his power (as president) to get his way. Yes, he is that determined.
You might want to post this link and get ppl to vote.. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2012/...poll_n_2309324.html?ncid=edlinkusaolp00000009Looking ahead to potential gun control debates that may take place in earnest here fairly soon: Will we sit at the table and talk? I am not suggesting we give 'em a list of stuff we'd be ok with banning (short list right?). I am not suggesting we knuckle under and beg for what we can have. I am, in fact suggusting, that we get ourselves to that table (of what ever form it takes) and, bless his heart, send somebody beside Ted Nugent or for that matter Wayne LaPierre, somebody that can talk sense, somebody (or persons) that can really articulate where guns can, should, and do fit into to American life and actually participate in the discussion. I say this as a counterpoint to what I think will be the most common reaction...resist.
It's hard to really know where this will all go now. Anybody on the fence fell the wrong way yesterday and they may not be coming back over. Sitting at the table does not mean defeat. Staying away from the table may.

Frankly, THR, I'm tired of hearing the standard right-wing squabbling that so many of you hoist high.
The Bushmaster looked to have 30-round magazines, the Glock and Sig probably had 15-17 round magazines, unless they were AWB-compliant.What was the magazine capacity of the firearms used in CT?
Ok...now this is getting silly. "We" are going to have a say in what's taken from us first? ... so they're going to listen to what WE want? But we shouldn't say "NO?" Shouldn't stand up and with force defend what is true?
Sorry, that's just crazy talk.
That is not what I have been reading at all.screeching
Here's my "input":
NO, I REFUSE.
Incorrect, his dollars flow to the NRA/ILA.Then you have none.
Really? Ok GREAT, cause that's EASY.Y'all point out how 26 innocent people could be killed at the drop of a hat by one man with materials available at Wal-Mart with ten minutes of prep time that aren't firearms-related and you may have a case.
I have none to YOUR liking.Then you have none.
