We mostly hear that "no one needs large capacity magazines unless someone is going on a killing spree." In some cases that might be right, however, in the following article Bob Livingston makes a valid point to the contrary and we believe it is worth considering.
Another instance of the use of the proper use of "assault weapons" was the LA riots that occurred after the Rodney King verdict. During this insurrection, Korean business people protected their property from the roving gangs with (horror of all horrors) these guns. Had they not had access to them, how much more damage would have happened? We suspect lots.
No tool is ever totally bad or good. Hammers can pound nails but they can also be used to kill. The same goes for screw drivers. Should we also ban these?
Why are we not talking about the thousands that die due to car accidents and drug abuse? What about the numbers who die from legal medicine abuse? Politicians are ignoring the big numbers and dealing with the minor ones and there is only one reason. Those in charge want to disarm the American people. There can be no other rationale. It is not about the kids. It is not about Sandy Hook--that was only an excuse for the latest attack on ALL of our rights.
Don't be fooled, there is a plan and it is not related to "assault weapons", it is about all guns! Once Americans are unarmed, the government can ram anything down our throats and we will have NO way to fight back.
Just like the flash mobs that run rampant and wipe out stores, the government will do exactly the same thing as they are no different than those who steal for a living.
Be Scared, Be Very Scared.

Yes, People ‘Need’ Large-Capacity Magazines

Violent, thieving mobs — called flash mobs because they spring up almost instantaneously, loot and ransack a business and disperse within a minute or two — have been seen across the country over the past several years. Not surprisingly, they’ve now made their way into New York City.
Newsstand and convenience store owners in New York say the mobs of 20, 30, 40 or more are hitting their establishments regularly, stealing merchandise, damaging property and injuring customers.
“They assemble, they do whatever it is they’re going to do, and then they disassemble in a matter minutes. By the time somebody recognizes what is happening or is injured, if the police are able to respond, it is slow,” Jon Shane, assistant professor of criminal justice at John Jay College told CBS New York.
Raj Shmara owns a newsstand at Broadway at 55th Street. Shmara said his newsstand has been targeted seven different times by mobs of teens. During an attack just last week, the kids threw a bottle at an employee who had to be hospitalized. Watching a video of the mob attack is frightening. Dozens of youths crawl over one another like a pack of dogs scuffling over one food bowl.
New York business owners are trying to “protect themselves” by installing surveillance cameras because they say they aren’t getting any help from New York police.
And, of course, thanks to the recently passed New York gun control legislation, New York business owners can’t really protect themselves. Scary-looking black semi-automatic personal defense weapons with large magazines are now banned in the city because the State’s government decided no one “needs” a weapon with a large-capacity magazine.
A gun now legal in New York with a magazine holding only seven rounds wouldn’t be sufficient to take out a third of some of those mobs. But a store owner holding an AR-15 with a 30-round mag and another at his side would serve as a great deterrent to a mob of 20, 30 or 40 thugs.
