Here in Norway there are strict regulations on magazine/clip capacity. A pump action shotgun can have a max of 3 shells, 2 in the mag and 1 in the chamber. Rifles can have a max of 5 rounds, and 1 in the chamber. Not sure about handguns, but think you can get them with 7 round clips.

I grew up in Canada where handguns were made illegal after Marc LePine walked into Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal and shot and killed 21 women. And any rifle magazine over 5 rounds is also illegal. And guess what? The world didn't end.

Back in high school we had elective classes from age 14-16, (the last 2 years) where we could choose miniature shooting (.22 long rifle). 2 hrs a week of pew pew, but we had 2 classes (4 hrs) of safety courses before we were allowed to pick up a cartridge and look at it.

And guns would get their feelings hurt if they were ever put in a datafile. So no computers are allowed in tracking pew pew things.https://www.wired.com/2015/...

Shit. I had to take more classes than that before I was allowed to use the machines in woodshop.

Wow, so the NRA is having a "come to your senses" moment with very little sense involved other a slight twist of words? Oh, those canny bastards! I still think Chris Rock said it best: just make ammo cost $5000 a bullet. The nuts can have their gun worship altars and the rest of us can breathe a little easier.

"Banning guns from law-abiding Americans based on the criminal act of a madman will do nothing to prevent future attacks. This is a fact that has been proven time and again in countries across the world."

When was this proven and can you name at least 3 countries where crazy-old-American-white-man massacres did not decrease?

Yes, but since mostly white people were involved the NRA is spewing different bullshit than they usually do.

Because you need silencers to hunt deer with a semi automatic weapon. Duh!

I wonder if this would increase accidently shootings of other hunters and people on wooded property. I imagine it would be the other people’s responsibility to wear their orange safety vests, not the dumb fuck with the silencer.

There is absolutely NO reason to have a silencer, other than to murder someone quietly. The GOP has been reduced to having no shame whatsoever.

It's on the tip of my tongue, give me a second, I'll think of it....
