The Debate over Standard Capacity Magazines

There is currently legislation proposed at the federal level, as well as in quite a few states to restrict how many bullets can be loaded into the magazine of a semi-automatic rifle or pistol.

The argument is that if magazines were mandated by law to have a lower capacity than the standard 30 rounds that the AR-15 rifle uses, killers such as those at Sandy Hook school, and the Aurora movie Theater would have had to reload more frequently.

Some states have already enacted legislation mandating lower magazine capacities. New York state, for example just enacted a ban on magazines with more than seven (7) rounds capacity.

Would it really make any difference if the killers at Columbine High school, for example, had to reload after seven shots? 

No, I don't think so. But don't take my word for it, click here to take a look at this demonstration video from my friend, Ken Campbell who is the Sheriff of Boone County, Indiana.
