But first and foremost i have it because of my God given right to defend myself, my loved ones and my property.
If people are determined to get a gun they will one way or the other. I am pretty sure that with some practice and time i could create a bolt action rifle as well.
I've never shot someone or committed a crime with my firearm other than when i bought it or have to restock on ammunition.
Point being people who can handle their firearms responsibly should be allowed to own them legally. Even if all guns dissappeared from the world in some kind of unholy liberal left-wing Thanos Snap, people who wish to do harm would just resort to bombings instead.
haven't checked recently, but isn't England's knife crime level pretty close to the US' gun crimes (per capita)? -

2022-05-31 at 2:47 PM UTCNot really comparable...(as far as deaths go)
In 2020/21 there were 235 homicides involving a knife or other sharp instrument in England and Wales, compared with 270 in the previous reporting year. -

dude 2: well its time to change your magazine.
Still non sequitur...lowing the capacity of "clips" or "magazines" isn't going to save lives in most instances...certainly not in the case of the 18yr old mentioned in the OP...he had all the time in the world to change his shit out because the cops were too scared to go in the classroom. -

I'm sure population density plays a factor as well. I just remember reading similar stories to this one around the time. -
2022-05-31 at 3:10 PM UTCactually if you increased the capacity and only allowed drum mags they would jam a lot more frequently which would lead to a lower amount of deaths on average
just look at how many mass shooters only fire a few rounds from a drum mag before it jams and they throw the gun away it's actually pretty common and then they use something with a small capacity and if they can manage to reload that's when the numbers really rack up -

If it's a malfunction within the mechanism of the drum mag then yeah. If it's a problem with cycling for instance, that shouldn't be hard to fix, in most cases, pull the slide to eject jammed cartidge/misfire, make sure you have no obstructions, chamber a new round and you should be good to go.
Although admittedly i don't know nearly enough about drum mags to speak with any authority on the matter. -

A magazine is a technical term as is a clip. It has to do with the design of the component used to hold the ammo. An M1 Garand has clips, a H&K G36C uses a magazine or 'mag' for short ya dingus. -
2022-05-31 at 5:17 PM UTCAnd in the case of the AR-15 it's a Magazine...go back to sleep vincent.
