Like I said, you do you. I'm going to continue to suggest that we prioritize things that might actually work in the list of what we want to barter with the nuts for.
I just don't think that a series of pyrrhic victories will ever amount to credible gun legislation. If I were a cynical negotiator (which I am) working for the nut lobby (which I'm not) I'd give you your mag ban knowing it wouldn't do shit but bump my profits, and extract a heavy toll from you for it. When the next school shooting inevitably occurred..it would be with legally purchased small mags and legally purchased tape.
(the value of the nras extremist position is that it sets up a deep roster of sacrificial issues)

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
