As a former federal agent, I carried a gun and two extra magazines every day — marked “for law enforcement use only.”
My mags held more than 10 rounds — the limit under federal law at the time.
That provision was part of the 1994 Assault Weapons Ban, which expired in 2004. 1/

Because weapons of war do not belong on our streets.
A restored Assault Weapons Ban is an overdue, commonsense step to save American lives. 3/

She was a Postal Inspector who then became a CIA Officer.
Her statement was then backed up by a Marine Officer turned Congressman.
I carried guns in Iraq, and I know how to use them. I’ve also seen what they can do to a person.@RepSpanberger is 100% right — large magazines and assault weapons need to be banned from our streets.@SpeakerMcCarthy should put Democrats’ gun safety legislation up for a vote. https://t.co/c7KnUibfl5

These people love the idea of government agents outgunning civilians.
There is no evidence at all that magazine capacity bans have any effect on crime.
Even the idea that: “the bad guy can get bum-rushed when he reloads” us fallacious.
These people simply enjoy having privileges that ordinary citizens don’t have.
It’s no surprise that the people who exempted themselves from insider trading so they can make millions on a government salary like having guns and magazines that you cannot.
“Even the idea that: “the bad guy can get bum-rushed when he reloads” us fallacious.”
But, to be fair, not unheard of. See the Portland school and the Long Island RR shooting. ;~)
The Thurston High School shooter in 1998 was stopped exactly that way.
1RapidRobert: That’s what I was thinking about. I thought that it was in Portland. Hey, I got Oregon correct. ?
I was goofing off on Independence Day with some drills. I had 3 loaded in the pistol and then 2 more in my spare mag. From beep to the last round was 6 and change seconds, and I’m not even good at this…
How ’bout, No.
