		<description><![CDATA[If they were using the standard-issue 20-round mags of the Vietnam era, that means 1400 rounds. Even 5.56 mm. rounds would be pretty weighty.  A loaded 20-round mag., carrying 183-grain rounds weighs no less than 0.66 pounds.  Seventy of them would total out at over 46 pounds.  Doable but really heavy.  And I question that a loaded 20-rd. mag only would weigh 0.66 pounds. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In Vietnam some GI&#039;s carried up to 70 magazines into battle.  These were the 15 round type, I think.  So that is a lot of rounds and the size of the magazine does not mean as much as some Libs think it does.  The Aurora shooter tried to use 100 round magazines, but they jammed a lot and were likely slower than smaller magazines that did not Jam. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I heard that the Sandy Hook shooter destroyed his computer&#039;s hard drive. Apparently, experts figured out a way to get information off of it. The SH shooter was a very diabolical and clever guy. My theory is, he manipulated his mother into purchasing the weapons he used. Even if AR15 lookalikes (Modern Sporting Rifles, &quot;assault rifles&quot; or whatever other term you use) were to have been banned, he could have used any good autoloader pistol and a succession of magazines. Heck, who knows how many children he could have stabbed to death with a knife, once he took out the teachers and adults who were in his way. If there is any conclusion one can draw from the Virginia Tech and S.H. tragedies, it is that the very idea of Gun Free Zones is a neurosis. The sooner we allow law-abiding adults the option, if they so choose and are not themselves crazy, to carry handguns the better.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I reject the term &quot;assault weapon&quot; as a dishonest attempt to create gun control hysteria. All guns are dangerous. There&#039;s no such thing as guns that are safer than others. There was a time when an assault weapon was any standard issue firearm used by soldiers. The gun control lobby has altered the language to deceive the public. They should be called on it.    ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[With my &#039;14, all I did was take a conventional wood stocked, blued finish mini 14 and had a gunsmith install a common AR 15 flash hider.  It looks no different than before, other than having what I consider a more complete look.  Under the Clinton Gun Ban, what I did would be an offense... 
 
In the end, the gun grabbers want them all, be they automatics, semi-autos, lever actions, single shots and even muzzle-loaders. ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I know.  When I was still living in California she was the one who never sent a reply that seemed like a form letter, and never sounded like a 15 year old staffer put it together.  I didn&#039;t agree with her, but had to grudgingly admit they seemed thought out. 
 
That&#039;s what makes this so much worse, did the Chicago gang explain something to her? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I agree with you 100%, but have you noticed how the MSM has fastened on Adam Lanza&#039;s fascination with that Norweigian guy Breivik? They see him as a right-winger, which I suppose he was, and the MSM in dealing with Lanza glosses rather quickly over Lanza&#039;s keeping score of ALL the mass murderers as &quot;competitors&quot; he wanted to surpass.  
 
Also, I would like to see the MSM do an investigative spot or two on how many of the recent gun purchases (since Newtown) have been made by people who will also vote in favor of the regulation of guns. I bet at least half of the 65 million new firearms purchases have been made by lefties. Wanna bet? ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[That part of the authors argument was bananas.   If a product (like bullets) gets bought in large amounts, it temporarily drives the cost up as the manufacturing base adjusts and ... make more bullets which then drive the cost DOWN. 
 
Also, as far as I can tell, the bullets werent delivered in one lump package. Its a contract over a few years (not sure about that part and too lazy to look it up). 
 
For that matter, the 100 million gun owners buying huge stpres of bullets, as well as the military, doesnt driveup the price? 
 
Nah, the author just made a silly argument.  Happens to the best of us. ]]></description>
