“Allowing access to high-capacity magazines is beyond the pale. Banning them is a matter of public safety. There is no Second Amendment or God-given right to be able to maim and kill your fellow Americans with military-style arms. When the high-capacity magazine restriction was in place until 2004, it was effective. If our nation can agree that machine guns, cop-killer bullets, and plastic guns ought to be restricted, surely we can agree that large-capacity magazines have no place in our society.”
Let's put aside the facts that machine guns are just about the most restricted object a private citizen can own, and that any bullet can be used to kill a cop.
I'd like to hear from the Brady members on this one: why ought plastic guns be further restricted, compared to guns made of other materials, like steel or aluminum? What did Helmke mean by this?
