Good article.
The Tucson shooter was only brought down once he had to reload. Then the score was even between him and everyone else that was there without a gun so they acted and took him down.
The sad thing is that people see that as a reason to limit the number of rounds that one can have in a magazine. All that would happen is that the criminal would carry another gun, get an accomplice or get his hands on an "illegal" magazine that holds more than the law abiding citizen can carry. Criminals don't abide by the law so when the lawmakers make the laws, they're making them for the law abiding citizens.
Ban guns completely and crime would sky rocket because every law abiding citizen out there would not have any means to protect themselves while the criminals still have illegal guns which they continue to commit crimes with.
I strongly feel that gun violence would go down if the only gun laws were against criminals. (Criminals can't own guns, criminals can't carry guns, etc.) Other than that......It's all good. If you're a law abiding citizen, you can carry your gun out in the open if you want, conceal it if you want. Have a 10 round magazine, have a 30 round magazine...It's all up to you.
It's hard to speculate what would have happened had there been a CCW license holder in Tuscon at the time of the shooting, but I would like to think that much less people would have been injured or killed.
