The police are reporting he used a Glock 19 with a 30 round magazine, both purchased legally and separately at different times.

I would suggest if you have plans to buy large cap magazines, get them now. I've got a gut feeling we'll see some laws on this particular aspect of our rights.

I'm also planning to withdraw cash and buy at least one Beta magazine for my Ruger SR 556 on ******** is the word, all right.

apparently her frontal lobe was shot. as long as it's only as damaged as they say it is. (temple to forehead on whichever side) she might live
she'll probably develop a slew of mental problems ranging from bipolar to dimensia,speech impediment, seizures, and emotional issues though...

reminds me of the eastern european man who tried to commit suicide with an AK74

its a little gross but this is the link to the vid if him in the hospital on live leak

Question- why the ******** would you need a 30-round magazine for an assassination attempt? Was the gunman seriously that concerned that they were a ******** awful shot that they needed an extra fifteen to twenty rounds to hit their target? Or were they intending on pumping her full of thirty rounds just ******** because?

On a related note, I'm sure someone in the ED (Redem) will try to use this as fuel for their propaganda train.

I saw one thread in ED. I didn't bother reading it though.

Hypothetically if I were going to shoot up a place I would want a large capacity just so I could take out as many people as possible.

To shoot up a place? Sure. To specifically kill one person? I'd rather have something with precision and power. Unless he decided to just shoot everyone there, which would make more sense.

On a semi-related note- can someone explain to me how the hell an exploding .22 caliber bullet exists?

I figure if I were going to try and kill someone I wouldn't be walking away from it. I'd either end up dead or arrested so I would take as many down as I could. Think about it. Aside from Gifford the gunman shot another 13 people. That tells me he most likely wanted to take down whomever he could. There is a possibility he doubted his aim, but I don't think that was the case.

No, exploding. Read up on John Hinckley Jr. Six rounds of explosive .22 Short, and every one failed to explode... except the one in Brady's head.

In any case, I think I've got all the high cap Glock mags I need. ninja

Skimmed through that thread in ED. Only one debate came up about guns, and it was some idiot trying to act as if this was a CCW issue.

The "impressed" crayon is missing from the box. Is blue acceptable?

Bonus points for shooting up a place with a 1911. Legal in every state, effective, and pre-dates every gun law I know of that affected white people.

That will do.

But damn, <30 rounds fired and nineteen people hit? That's at worst a 66% hit-to-shot ratio. That's not bad even in FPS's. Cho got 57 hits to almost two hundred shots, and many of those were executions.
