MD, I've pondered this a lot. I know that there are many people who support the 2A and don't own a firearm. Some are afraid of them, some just don't want one, etc..So while they support the 2A, they are being bombarded by marxist media propoganda, and they too wonder why a person needs a 30 round magazine. They really, due to their lack of interest in owning a firearm, just don't realize that with a couple of day's practice, a determined psychopath can load 10 rd. mags nearly and get off just about as many rounds as they can with a 30 round magazine.

And while they did support the 2A, they see 20 dead children, and the leftist media propaganda machine making political hay out of it, and start having second thoughts on firearm ownership. And, I don't doubt for one second that that Obama's butt monkey's are going to take advantage of that to the maximum benefit (to them) possible.
