Constitutional Authority To Limit Gun Magazine Capacity?

Sorry, but I have to get political on y'all again.  The tradgedy of last Saturday has sparked renewed debate, as I suspected it would, on the Second Amendment.  In this case, it is one of those neo-con gun rights "activists" saying that limiting magazine capacity "makes sense".  I tend to think it would make more sense in making it easier for law abiding citizens to arm themselves.  Think about it, how many people would have been killed or wounded if someone, or more, would have pulled a gun on the assailant as he was approaching with his weapon in broad daylight?  There were 19 people killed or injured, I say if 20 of the 30 some people there pulled a weapon, maybe-just maybe, one person would have been hurt, that being the assailant.  Or, how about this, if it was easier for law abiding citizens to carry, bad guys would not even attempt such things, because they know that at least a few of those people over there have a gun and might shoot back.  Folks, our right to free speech is under attack because of one knuckledhead.  Our right to keep and bear arms is severely in peril, because of one knucklehead.  Limiting the magazine capacity on a hand gun will do nothing to stop criminals, they will always have high cap mags.  What it will do is limit your ability to protect and defend yourself and your family, think about that.  Read more...
