Gun Control & RKBA

"if we can't save them all why save any"? It also begs the question of walking and chewing gum. It's not a one-at-a-time issue.

On the topic of high capacity magazines you might want to ask Gabby Giffords if having 10 round magazines would make any difference. When Loughner was reloading his second 30 round mag he was taken down by a grandma. Had he reloaded at 10 rounds would it have made a difference? Perhaps we should ask the recipients of the extra 20 rounds.

Then there's the Colorado Movie shooter with a 100 round mag that jammed after only 70 rounds. Or the Las Vegas shooter who had multiple high cap magazines and bump stocks. Yes, fire capacity and cyclic rate make a difference.

I agree with your last line, such things are contributory however they don't exist in a vacuum. It is not a single tiered problem.
