What was the max capacity of this man’s magazines? I have seen several articles and not a single one mentions how many bullets this murderer’s weapon held.

It is safe to assume that with his efficiency in bullets to dead body ratio, he could easily have murdered seven or eight people with a reduced, ten round magazine.


I am genuinely curious how reducing magazine capacity would have saved this man’s life? It seems there are extremely large problems preceding this murder.

for sure reducing magazine capacity would have saved many people's life, example:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41518852

he killed 58 people and injure 500 others, with reduced magazines sizes he... Oh wait !

Maybe I will make a video where I demonstrate how quickly you can shoot ten rounds and reload, along with how many magazines you can fit in your hoodie and jeans pockets. I should have a day off next week to go shoot stuff.

But this was not about the Las Vegas shooting from six years ago, I am referring to the overwhelming majority of gun violence which is demonically demonstrated in this video where this scumbag, filled with indifference to human life, casually executes a man in broad daylight.

If you remove suicide from statistics, this situation nears every firearm homicide in the US. This situation here, where a random scumbag shoots another (probably) random scumbag with a pistol.

Then the solution is to reduce magazine capacity and outlaw our rifles. Explain this please.

is this post intentionally dumb?

Post #3 gets deeper into the point. Thank you for your contribution to the conversation.

But yes, this is the conversation around gun violence communicated through our leaders and the media. It is a very dumb conversation, which ends up going in very dumb directions.

the 2nd amendment only protects muskets.

I don't think I'd go out of my way to act as dumb as mainstream media, but you do you gamer

Feel free to add to the conversation or dispute any point I have made. If you are unable to do so I will encourage you to leave.

im gonna stretch the argument, but wouldnt everyone agree that a single-shot musket from 200 years ago is less lethal than a modern day ar15 with 30 rounds?
i know very little about guns so my numbers for quantity of rounds may be off.

and yes, properly trained, even with 10 round mags, you could dish out alot of hurt.

to me its just more hurdles for the mass shooter to overcome which isnt necessarily a bad thing, and in turn may make him less lethal. (may is a big word in that last sentence)


heres another thought. lets say me and someone else were tossed into an arena for a fight to the death. two firearms would be available. one with 10 round mags, and one with 30 round mags. wouldnt everyone prefer the one with 30? haha.

Yes, obviously a musket is less lethal than an AR with 30 round magazines and armor piercing .556 cartridges.

My point is that legislating magazine capacities is absolutely useless and only appeals to those who have zero clue what they are talking about. It is only brought up when there is a convenient shooting where multiple people are shot outside of the inner city.


We will find out in the coming days that this murder was carried out with an illegal firearm by a previously convicted criminal who would never in 1,000,000 years be given the rights to a legal firearm. We will be forced to deal with the fact that as usual, there is no amount of legislation that will make criminal murderers not murder people.
