Yet Another Short Conversation With A Gun Prohibitionist

Posted on March 22, 2022 by admin

Yes, we’re back at it.  Our gun prohibitionist is bringing up magazine capacity limits again.

(It is important to remember that this is a dramatization.  There has never actually been a short conversation with a gun prohibitionist.)

GP:  We must ban high capacity magazines!  No one needs more than 10 rounds!  Anyone who needs more than 10 rounds to do the job has no business with a gun!

Dave:  Most police carry magazines with more than 10 rounds.  We could start by limiting the size of the magazines that the police can have.

GP:  But that would leave the police outgunned by the criminals!

Dave:  You mean criminals would still carry guns with more than 10 rounds, even if they were illegal for the rest of us?  These would be the same criminals that private citizens might need to defend themselves against.  Wouldn’t 10 round magazine limits mean that private citizens would also be outgunned?

GP:  Don’t get smart with me, Dave.  Ordinary citizens are amateurs, and not to be trusted with guns.  The police are the professionals and have special training in firearms.

Dave:  If the police are professionals, why would they need more than 10 rounds?  You did say that if anyone needs more than 10 rounds, they have no business with a gun.  You’re not suggesting we disarm the police, are you?

About Marcos

Growing up in Arizona gave Marcos a solid appreciation of the majesty of Mother Nature in all her many moods. According to him the simple joy of spending time out of doors is one that never grows old - especially as he still calls Flagstaff his home. It was here that his love for hiking and fishing and later white water rafting and climbing became some of the things he still enjoys today.

A self-confessed adrenaline junkie extreme sports are still part of his life, especially his twin loves of mountain biking and canyoning. Of course, as he is quick to mention being near the most majestic canyon in the world brings with it a myriad of opportunities to enjoy the great outdoors. He still combines his love of white water rafting and kayaking with the opportunity to camp overnight on the bank of the Colorado River (where he can often be found fly rod in hand).

He is also a keen hunter and range shooter (according to home the gun collection is getting a bit out of hand) - and his love for tech means that he has also been quick to embrace the sport of bowhunting. It is the composite bows, as well as GPS systems, sights, and some seriously geeky camping equipment that are all part of the attraction. Although he also combines that love of tech with some drone flying and photography.
