We're not told what year this "alarming statistic" applies to, but the number of shooting deaths (over half of which are generally suicides--which could, presumably, be committed just as efficiently with any size magazine) has remained fairly steady for a number of years, at around 30,000. That means that Lautenberg's "27,000 guns" have been used, on average, in about 1.11 killings apiece. One wonders why he isn't pushing for a magazine capacity limit of one round. [More]That's today's St. Louis Gun Rights Examiner. Please give it a look, and tell a friend.
Mission statement:
Armed and Safe is a gun rights advocacy blog, with the mission of debunking the "logic" of the enemies of the Constitutionally guaranteed, fundamental human right of the individual to keep and bear arms.
