I must comment on our state legislators’ and governor’s new laws banning large-capacity magazines over 10 rounds and putting new restrictions on carrying firearms at selected places.
Large-capacity magazines are standard capacity.
It’s incomprehensible how they decided 10 rounds are safer when armed psychopaths will just ignore it.
They’ve selected places, only they know why, to prohibit open carry, which is legal statewide, but then are allowing concealed carry.
Go figure.
Representative Chapman said that residents can buy the magazines in other states and bring them home.
Where’s the sense in that?
He says “Folks may argue they need 20 or 30 rounds… for self-protection. If you need that many… that means a whole army… are invading…, and that’s so unlikely.”
Ask the citizens of Ukraine how unlikely.
The Founding Fathers foresaw that and wrote the 2nd Amendment to guard against all enemies, both foreign and domestic.
Chapman says, right out of Biden’s play book, that the best form of defense is a shotgun.
Ask the Ukrainians defending against invader’s high-powered rifles.
He also says that the ballot box might be a better place to decide issues such as “addressing firearm safety… to increase public safety.”
“This issue does not seem to be suited for the legislative process.”
So, they enacted the laws anyway?
Yes, the ballot box is the place, to vote them out.
It seems our legislators and governor qualify for characters in the Looney Tune cartoons.
