re: #265 makeitstop

I should have been clearer. I did mean assault/automatic style weapons. The Aurora CO shooter had a 100 round drum in his arsenal. Um, who the hell needs that laying around the house for self protection? High capacity magazines and drums have no place in our society, those are tools of WAR. Period. Have your shotguns and pistols, I’m actually not averse to that. But this other stuff has to be out of the hands of people who are not involved in military, law enforcement and certainly not in the hands of people who are not undergoing continuous training.

IMO, some film of what guns actually do to the human body might be considered as part of gun training. No Hollywood special effects,the real damage. I really think many people are far removed from the damage that our ERs and surgeons encounter on a daily basis.
