More to the point it wasnā€™t an ā€œimpossible situationā€.

In fact, it was only possible be cause the shooter had high capacity magazines.

Look, there are over 10,000,000 Rambo guns out there, costing around $1,000 each. A buy back would cost $10 billion dollars and that will never happen.

Just require all guns to be registered that have the capacity to hold more than eight bullets and limit clips/magazines to eight bullets (pistols and rifles) for private possession with a ten year mandatory sentence in the Federal gray bar motel.

If you want to get your jollies off, you can go to a licensed gun range and rent a high-cap magazine and do so, just like how people with automatic guns have to do now (bringing their magazines and ammo with them).

Like my Marine daddy taught me, if you canā€™t hit your target with six shots, you donā€™t need to own a gun.

I grew up with long rifles and shotguns. The long rifles held 4 or 5 rounds, the shotguns 5 or 6. I have hunted deer, elk, pheasant, dove, duck, geese, and grouse. It was meat hunting. I never, ever, emptied a gun while hunting. Take a shot, replace the round.

When hunting deer and elk, if you missed the animal with the first shot, you rarely got a second. Birds (shotguns) often resulted in the following conversation:

What did you shoot?

About two boxes.

What did you take home?

Two boxes of empty shells.

Now, I was a pretty good wing shooter. Dove, ducks, and geese were easy for freezer meat. Grouse, and especially quail were my nemesis.

Oh, and I donā€™t hunt any more . I just got to the point where it lost its glamor for me.

Iā€™ve still got an old 12-gauge pump shotgun and an old but very accurate Moissant-Nagant in a gun safe, but unless things get really pear-shaped, that is where they will stay.

But if those idiots donā€™t think liberals can defend themselves, Iā€™ve got a little surprise for them. That Russian Rifle can put a bullet into a 4-inch circle at two hundred yard over open sites.
