Gun Control Follies (NY Times, Ongoing)

With its latest headline the NY Times reassures us (yet again) that, yes, it actually has no idea what it is discussing when the topic turns to guns:

Pro-Gun Lawmakers Open to Size Limits on Bullet Cartridges

Do they mean, like, no more .44 Magnums for Dirty Harry? No, they don't. They are referring to limits on magazine capacity (aka the dreaded "high magazine clip"):

WASHINGTON — Senator Christopher S. Murphy, Democrat of Connecticut, is haunted by many things that emerged from the investigation of the December mass shooting at a Newtown elementary school. Among them is the nagging question of what prompted the gunman, Adam Lanza, to put down his rifle after killing 20 children and pick up the pistol he used to end his own life.

“We do know that historically in these instances, amateurs have trouble switching magazines,” Mr. Murphy said, referring to the high-capacity ammunition feeding device used by Mr. Lanza to shoot scores of bullets in seconds. “I believe, and many of the parents there believe, that if Lanza had to switch cartridges nine times versus two times there would likely still be little boys and girls alive in Newtown today.”

It is that conviction that has helped put fresh scrutiny on the size of magazines as Congress debates new gun laws.

While influential lawmakers in both parties view a proposed ban on assault weapons as politically toxic, lawmakers seem increasingly open to a ban on high-capacity magazines, like the 15- and 30-round devices that have been used in shooting rampages from Aurora, Colo., to Tucson, where Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords was shot in the head, to Newtown.

This is the "legitimate" news media upon which Joe Biden rests his gun control hopes.

UPDATE: Times editors are so on this. Their revised effort:

Pro-Gun Lawmakers Are Open to Limits on Size of Magazines

Comments

[Rob Crawford]

I believe, and many of the parents there believe, that if Lanza had to switch cartridges nine times versus two times there would likely still be little boys and girls alive in Newtown today.

Except he had, what, 12 minutes to switch magazines as many times as he wanted. With that much time he could have reloaded some of the magazines, not just switch them.

They're so desperate to avoid the reality -- that the object isn't the actor -- that they'll ignore the most basic facts.

[rse]

I hate to go there but there were multiple shots in each victim so where does the "would still be alive" come from?

And intuitively I knew the disarming was related to the rest of the planned Transformation without our consent but as I mentioned yesterday the need to disarm the "capitalist class" turns out to be an intrinsic part of the recipe.

About as factual as the mental health first-aid for what was being pushed intrusively anyway.

[Ignatz Ratzkywatzky]

--Among them is the nagging question of what prompted the gunman, Adam Lanza, to put down his rifle after killing 20 children and pick up the pistol he used to end his own life.--

What could it be, what could it be?
May I suggest the right honorable Mr. Murphy get a Glock and an AR 15 and touch off a few rounds in his temple and get back to us on which was the most efficacious and easiest to use.

If he's stupid enough to ask the question surely he's stupid enough to field test it.

[squaredance]

Again, arguing pragmatics with these people misses the point. They will always win on pragmatics.

There are little boys and girls alive in Newtown today.

What do democrats really think of women?....

@ExJon: The good news, ladies, is that you're cleared for combat. The bad news? You'll only be issued whistles.

UCCS: Dept of Public Safety

What To Do If You Are Attacked

These tips are designed to help you protect yourself on campus, in town, at your home, or while you travel. These are preventative tips and are designed to instruct you in crime prevention tactics.

1. Be realistic about your ability to protect yourself.
2. Your instinct may be to scream, go ahead! It may startle your attacker and give you an opportunity to run away.
3. Kick off your shoes if you have time and can't run in them.
4. Don't take time to look back; just get away.
5. If your life is in danger, passive resistance may be your best defense.
6. Tell your attacker that you have a disease or are menstruating.
7. Vomiting or urinating may also convince the attacker to leave you alone.
8. Yelling, hitting or biting may give you a chance to escape, do it!
9. Understand that some actions on your part might lead to more harm.
10.Remember, every emergency situation is different.

Only you can decide which action is most appropriate.

[AliceH]

What's to stop pro-gun-rights Sheriff's from just deputizing every adult in their jurisdiction, thereby making them all "law enforcement personnel" who are consistently exempted from these new "safety" measures?

Actually - they can be immediately "retired" as deputies and still be exempted, right? Hmmm.

[Rob Crawford]

Again, arguing pragmatics with these people misses the point. They will always win on pragmatics.

Feel free to surrender.

[AliceH]

More advice for women from a democrat:

http://coalitionoftheswilling.net/?p=22402

“It’s why we have call boxes, it’s why we have safe zones, it’s why we have the whistles. Because you just don’t know who you’re gonna be shooting at,” Salazar remarked in debate late Friday night.

11. Lay back and think of Barry.

[Ann]

AliceH:

They don't even have to promise an abortion or the day after pill? They got that covered and we are paying for it.

[jimmyk]

12. Remember that your attacker likely has been a victim of injustice, so accommodation and understanding, and even support, is warranted.

[AliceH]

One of bloggers at AoS picked up on the same statement I linked above, and added this soothing commentary:

You see, ladies? If you just could keep in the Designated Zones, and not spend too much time in the Authorized Rape Zone, everything would just be jake.

[narciso]

Ah, the Bo of the Duke, I mean Salazar Bros, and what is this Doctor Who, now?

Ann is very timely with her quotes of Salazar. Trending on Twitter right now (and for the past few hours) is: #LiberalTips2AvoidRape

Democrat response to attempted rape: *fweet* *fweet* *barf*

Republican response to attempted rape: *BLAM* *BLAM* ... *BLAM* ... *BLAM*

Of course, he left out other defensive mechanisms - projectile vomiting, for one.

[squaredance]

Crawford, it has nothing to do with surrendering. What a thing to say. How dense can you be?

Obviously, the point is to argue rights and to speak to their real agenda. One has to use the political pulpit speak beyond them to the electorate at large, just as they do. Does it really have to be spelled out for you? Evidently.

Pragmatics gives them the argument. With that tack it just becomes a matter of how to restrict gun usage--how many rounds should be in a magazine for "the common good", what is the proper "requirement" to have a gun, and etc. Rights become irrelevant; the sophistry and the casuistry, not to mention the MFM propaganda, is then almost impossible to overcome. The state now firmly places itself between the citizen and his Constitutional rights and now qualifies and dispenses them at its whim.

Constitutional rights are not about pragmatics and are not utilitarian in origin or derivation: They are axiomatic, as it were. That is why the Left try to force it into this line of "discussion" in the first place. They wish to avoid the whole issue of Constitutional rights. It is purely a rhetorical dodge on their part--they have no interest in rational and honorable debate or decision making. If it were otherwise, they would not have to wait for some "incident" to march this nonsense through. If it were otherwise, they would not be able to get a way with idiotic positions on rape in this context, as did a Dem Colorado State Senator did today (andremember what happened to Akins when he gave his "opinions" on the natter). Do you really think that they do not understand that the criminal or the insane will not be stopped by restrictive laws? One cannot win this way. No, this tactic just hands them our own defeat. With this we have moved beyond the rights of the law abiding, and it is makes it that much harder hard to repeal.

Typical JOMer: self-righteous obtuseness about the real matters at hand , and obnoxious didacticism about what is both glaringly obvious and trivial. Always missing the point.

Here is a clue: they are winning on this issue. They are going to push through national registration with the GOP's help. Gradually, they will destroy what is left of the 2nd amendment, and then all the rest will go down.

You are not really that stupid, try thinking a little, and while you are at it do not put words in my mouth,

Me surrender? You know nothing about me. I have a couple of metal pins in me and a metal joint from my service to this nation. I imagine that you were about 10 years old, if that, when i got them. I cannot believe that you have suffered so much as a bruise for the freedoms of this nation. In fact, I rather doubt you have even so much as ever even changed a clip in a handgun. You ought to be ashamed of such nonsense, but, evidently, you are are not up to that either.

Yet more proof that many (most?) JOMers are only slightly more attached to the real world than the Democrats. What is it about you people that will not permit you to look squarely at what is really happening in this country? Why are you so consistently wrong? Why do you demean those who try to get through to you? Why cannot you look beyond the end of your noses?

You will surrender long before I will--at the first blow of the kudgle, I'd wager. I rather doubt that you have put yourself in harms way for anything at all--not once. You, like so many here, have already surrendered; you just do not know it yet. You have not the faintest idea what is coming. I do. I have survived it more than once before.

"switch cartridges?"

Good God, if they want to discuss this stuff without being subject to ridicule, they could at least start by mastering a one-hour course in the basic terminology of firearms. Who the hell ever switches cartridges? They don't know, because they literally--yes, literally--do not know what they are talking about.

[GUS]

Chubby, The PRESS will forgive Opie and Reggie and Tiger.

[Danube of Thought iPad]

"'We do know that historically in these instances, amateurs have trouble switching magazines,' Mr. Murphy said."

Really? How does he know that? I am quite certain that an amateur like Mr. Murphy could master the art of switching magazines far more readily than he has mastered the difference between a magazine and a cartridge.

[GUS]

Danube, I don't think that Murphy knows the difference between a MAGAZINE vs an ISSUE of The Tribune. Same thing.
Preconcieved LIBTARD IDEOLOGY.
Guns bad. Libtards good.
Smirk.

[narciso]

Murphy know things, apparently economics is not one of them;

In 2001, he was a co-sponsor of a bill to eliminate child poverty.[10] He also proposed legislation that would give free tuition to students of the state's community-technical colleges.[11] He proposed legislation that would ban smoking in state colleges and universities.[12] He co-sponsored a bill that would create an earned income tax credit.[13]

[narciso]

He believes in removing incentives from the tax codes, that let jobs go over seas, he wants more infrastructure spending, (what happened to the stimulus, and he's big on renewable energy, sounds familiar.

Heh heh, who cares about some study saying one thing when it's really the opposite.... Who fuckin caaaaaaaaresses....... the bottom line is this; Sandy hook (or whatever it's called) created a disgust in the American psyche for all things 'gun' heh heh heh .... every other tragedy that follows ( and there'll be quite a few) will have a pile on effect essentially eroding gun owners' rights down to the nub and THAT is a good thing for us libs.

We'll use wedge issues like guns and immigration in 2014 to reclaim the house

Squaredance,

I'm not interested in getting into a JOM food fight, but I think you are way off the mark on what some or all of us might be willing to roll over on someone/anyone stopping by and collecting our weapons -- much less taking them down to a collection center. Fat f*cking chance. You have no clue how many MFers I am willing to drop when they ring my doorbell. There is a trigger point out there that is a lot like the porn threshold: we'll know it when we see it. And we sure as hell are not the UK or OZ or Canada.

As they say, all you'll find is a very large pile of spent brass.

[Dublindave]

What we need to do is take a guy like Manuel transmission and humiliate him....sexually humiliate him in front of his children....then other guys like him'll think twice about holding ont to their guns when we come round to get them....you hold onto your gun then you forefeit your wife to entertain the boys for an afternoon..... heh heh heh.......lets see the tough guy talk now!!!!!!!

[Fen]

“I believe, and many of the parents there believe, that if Lanza had to switch cartridges nine times versus two times there would likely still be little boys and girls alive in Newtown today"

Idiot. Lanza, as the aggressor, would have simply chosen more safe positions to swap out magazines. No one bothered him when he switched two time, so what makes you think it would have been any different if he had to switch nine times?

Its the home owner confronting a burglar that is the only one hurt by lower magazine capacity, because defensive use does not have the advantage of choosing the time, location and range of the encounter - the perp does.

Its also easy for amateur perps to learn how to swap out mags. Ironically, what gets them is loading 30 round magazines the max, because the mag springs routinely create feed jams when loaded max (which is why Marine infantry like me rarely load to 30, we prefer 22-25 and the lesser chance of a feed jam).

[hoyden]

Another reason why you can't shoot a rapist; they might be a Democrat and Obama supporter.

[hoyden]

Wow, that Narcisolator is good! The local grease spot is now gone.

[Extraneus]

The NY Times isn't writing this stuff for us. The NY Times sets the agenda for libs. They read it like some people read the Bible. If it says that "historically in these instances, amateurs have trouble switching magazines," then that's the party line: "Fly, my pretties! Go out there and parrot that. If enough people believe it, we win!"

Btw, is the NY Times editor's bodyguard limited to one 7-round magazine?

[Extraneus]

And, btw, of course it's slower to change magazines than to keep firing from a high-capacity magazine. As squaredance wrote, that's not the point. The point is to move the argument away from one of constitutional rights.

[rse]

Ex-

I think the only constitutional rights that are to be left are those in the envisioned Second Bill of Rights. After all, these people are quite serious about using the schools to cultivate a belief that they will monitor that one has a Universal Love obligation. To humanity. I am no longer coming across that in HK citing US profs.

Frum's suggestion of using the surgeon general to issue a report ...

"In 1988, the surgeon general, C. Everett Koop, proclaimed ice cream to a be public-health menace right up there with cigarettes. Alluding to his office’s famous 1964 report on the perils of smoking, Dr. Koop announced that the American diet was a problem of “comparable” magnitude, chiefly because of the high-fat foods that were causing coronary heart disease and other deadly ailments.

He introduced his report with these words: 'The depth of the science base underlying its findings is even more impressive than that for tobacco and health in 1964.'"

--Ironically, what gets them is loading 30 round magazines the max, because the mag springs routinely create feed jams when loaded max (which is why Marine infantry like me rarely load to 30, we prefer 22-25 and the lesser chance of a feed jam).--

That's also the reason I went from a high capacity double stack magazine back to a single stack 7 round mag in my primary self defense gun; too many feed problems, plus the gun is slimmer and more concealable.

So don't tell the grabbers but they may be making all those law abiding mass killers, who will readily turn in their 15 round mags for 10 or less, more efficient.
