California High Capacity Magazine Ban Shot Down.

[downbeatplumb]

I live in a country where restrictions on this sort of thing led directly to a reduction in gun deaths.

Indeed in every country where restrictions have been introduced its been successful.

In the US it seems you value your guns more than your people.

Sure.
People in your country now commit suicide less with a firearm.

But - do more now step off a high building?

...

You might want to walk closer to the curb.

How would larger capacity magazines affect suicide rates?
But anyhoo.
The main problem with large capacity largely unregulated weapons is when they are used for mass shootings.
Mass shootings have stopped.
Other weapons have been used knives, cars and acid BUT they are much less effective and lead to less deaths and injury than people with guns have in the past.

Guns are efficient weapons of death and are why militaries don't go into battle with knives as the main weapon.
