Why 33 rounds makes sense in a defensive weapon

[Pizza Bob]

Really good to see an author of Stephen Hunter's stature step-up in defense of extra-capacity mags. You can bet your bottom dollar that, had anybody but Hunter written this piece, it would have never seen the light of day at the Post. Kudos.

Adios,

Wow I had to check 3 times to make sure it was still the post I was reading.

Those who would ban extended magazines, will say that although hundreds of thousands are in circulation and thousands more will surely be sold before a ban is enacted, it will be worth it if it saves just one life. But the other half of that question must be asked, too: Is it worth it if it costs just one life?

Thats a great closing line, and a good possible sig line.

Now that was one hell of an article. Truer words were never spoken. Banning HI capacity maginzes would not stop some deranged sociopath from killing innocent people. I would like to see some more sensible colums regarding firearms like this one in the Phila. daily news or the inquirer.

great article, i never though of them like that but it makes perfect sense!

I can't help but think that the follow up article will be, "Since banning mags is useless, let's go right for the gun."

Being the Washington Post, I was waiting for the anti-gun and anti-magazine death blow halfway down the page. It was nice to see see something different.
