A criminal can still kill an entire group of people using 10 round magazines, empty magazines can be swapped out VERY quickly on most hand guns. A criminal could also just carry multiple pre-loaded weapons if they wanted to kill a group of people. But, do you really think someone who decided that they wanted to kill a GROUP of people would obey the 10 round magazine law?
One thing that could actually prevent some nut from going on a rampage in public would be OPEN CARRY.
I didn't say anything about full automatic weapons, they're illegal in almost every state from my understanding, maybe in some states with some type of special license you could own one. A criminal that wants a full automatic weapon WILL have one regardless.
I never heard of this "locked door" argument, but I know one thing, a "locked door" absolutely would not stop a criminal from breaking into your house in the middle of the night. Or maybe your mother or grandmothers house? Gun's are the great equalizer in a situation like this.
Here's a basic concept I don't think you understand. PEOPLE KILL, GUNS DON'T. The type of gun I have or amount of bullets it can carry does not make me ANYMORE likely to be a criminal.
True, guns and weapons anything that "can kill someone" tend to get a bad rap when it's people who kill people. I mean, a car can be a weapon in the wrong hands you know? Are we going to outlaw them too? lol. I agree.
rev,
Yeah, it tends to get "hectic" there to put it lightly compared to here and other places around the world. Although, don't forget China too. You can find vids and articles out there of political squabbles like brawls and stuff in court rooms lol, crazy stuff over politics.
The problem or one of the issues with Iran, Islam etc are they tend to spawn a lot of these radical groups or different radical groups which is probably one of the reasons Israel feels the need to fight back besides that other stuff politically, religiously. They both hate each other but from so far everything I gather, Iran seems to hate the Jews more although I'm sure at this point the hate is nearly mutual and equal.
9/11 is up there no doubt I'm sure with short attacks in one day and comparable to certain war numbers, just not crazy wars like WW2, WW1, Pearl Harbor incidents etc. Although, 9/11 has been the worst attack on US since Pearl Harbor just want to note on US soil.
I have heard of that, but only a little bit on the Yazidi Bombings. You know what it is, a lot of people and media feel that's so typical over there, like every day literally there's something going on. Car bombs, kids strapped with bombs on their chests and it's just like typical yet sad in a way you know? 9/11 however you see, we're America and supposed to be strong, powerful, well guarded etc yet that day we were penetrated badly...that on top of taking down both towers of WTC and you have worldwide news. I'm sure if Paris lost the Eiffel Tower, I'm sure it would be world news as well no doubt in my mind. WTC is one or was one of the biggest worldwide monuments, buildings and financial centers besides being located in NYC, USA it's kind of a big deal. Like I said before, my dad used to work in there years ago and his company associates work with worldwide companies as well as his company being around the world. To my knowledge, they moved out due to rental prices and changes in the company. He worked on the 20th floor so if he was still there, chances are he would have been ok. But still, crazy stuff....pretty much if you're from NYC or live in the tri state area you know someone who lost someone if not directly.
Overall, I'm sure you're right Iran/Israel war and religious attacks etc have to be more then 9/11, since that was one day still a big lose. That's also my other point in that in modern day religious wars, nothing is worse then Iran/Israel right now...shit happens every day over there, it's crazy. I also know this due to knowing friends who served over there or people who have family deported there. I hear a lot of crazy stories, there was something few months back about the media making a big deal out of a USA soldier pissing on a terror cell....while that's the least of their worries, I can't say I blamed him. Might have been morally wrong but then I think, these guys are fighting for us and that dirtbag would have no hesitation chopping off that soldiers head if given the chance so...
