Ha, I knew you'd chime in sooner or later with your baseless assumptions, as always. I know all about the first ban. I live in New York, I'm still living with that ban. I know exactly what role Ruger (and S&W I believe) played in it, and the NRA to a lesser extent.

My response? So what? What does that have to do with ANYTHING? Because they backed it, that makes it right? I don't care who backed it, it was useless and an infringement of rights.

Again, SO WHAT?! Who even said anything about Romney? It has absolutely nothing to do with our discussion.

A high capacity mag does not an assault weapon make.

By the way? The Virginia Tech shooter used 10-round magazines. He killed twice as many as the Aurora shooter.

But yeah, I get it, lets make things illegal for everyone because of the 1% who abuse them.
