Clip was banned under Clinton
but the
GOP said killing 14 wasn't enough
This is NOT the clip he used.
Why couldn't Salon get a picture of the clip he used?
It took me less than ten seconds to locate that picture.
The high-capacity magazine of the
semiautomatic pistol used in the shooting of Rep. Gabrielle Giffords
and more than a dozen other people on Saturday would have been illegal
to manufacture and difficult to
purchase under the Clinton-era assault weapons ban, which expired in
2004.
The alleged shooter, Jared Loughner, legally purchased a semiautomatic
Glock 19 with a high-capacity
magazine in November at a gun store in Tucson. Under the assault
weapons ban, it was illegal to
manufacture or sell new high-capacity magazines, defined as those that
hold more than 10 rounds.
The magazines used by Loughner
had 31 rounds each, according to police.
If Loughner had been using a traditional magazine, "it would have
drastically reduced the number of
shots he got off before he had to pause, unload and reload -- and he
could have been stopped,"
Daniel Vice, attorney at the Brady Center, tells Salon.
This is
the clip the bastard used.
You can murder a lot more congressmen and a lot more judges
with that extended clip that the Republican party loves so much.
The Glock 19 is a very efficient killing machine but the GOP says it's
not efficient ENOUGH so they voted to make the 31-clip legal to purchase.
We talked about this many years ago.
I used the example of Michael Jackson's Thriller video.
Michael and Ola Ray are in a shack in the woods and zombies start climbing thru the
windows and doors and I made the point that the Glock 19 could handle that situation - easily.
But the GOP is wholly owned by the NRA and the NRA insists that there must be NO LIMIT
on how many congressmen and judges a deranged Teabagger can kill, so that's why we had
so many dead and wounded in Arizona over the weekend.
We get the America that the Democrats are willing to fight for.
Since they're not willing to fight, we live in America where 31-bullet clips
can be bought by any Teabagger who has the cash ...and look what happened.
