Democrat's efforts to ban ammunition led by complete ignorance of the facts.


1st District of Colorado U.S. Rep. Diana DeGette, Democrat and Prime House Representative to Ban High Capacity Magazines does not have any idea what she's talking about.

The words coming out of her mouth are just that; words. She is trying to get manufacturing to ban "high capacity magazines" (15 rounds to her is high capacity), without even being aware of the three most important facts about these magazines.


  1. 15 rounds is not high capacity. Maybe 30-40, or 80-100 rounds is high capacity, depending on what firearm one is talking about. 15 is just a few extra to a handgun that 7-9 rounds anyway.
  2. Magazines and clips are reloadable.
  3. There is an estimated 40 million plus of these reloadable clips and magazines in possession by the public at large. So, a ban on the manufacture of them would have a zero practical effect other than hurting sales.


This is an empty magazine. It is a part of the handgun. The shooter loads bullets into it before inserting it into the handgun.

This informational display is a public service of RightPaparazzi. Share it with your liberal friends who might not understand how you go about saving their lives BEFORE they are mugged, attacked and possibly killed by one of the hundreds of thousands of criminals in their state who know how to reload clips with real bullets.

My Bersa .380 holds only 7 rounds to start with in its reloadable clip. If I have 7 rounds in my personal protection handgun, and criminals, who do not follow lawas anyway, thus the label CRIMINAL, has `5, or 30, or 100 rounds, and he enters my house, my chances of successfully protecting my home are extremely reduced by any laws that ban currently legal hardware.

Hardware bans do not remove firearms and ammunition from the possession of criminals; EVER. Doesn't anyone on the left or in the media get that?

EXAMPLE. For the sake of this argument, let's assume that video cameras are all of a sudden banned and considered illegal. The next day, anyone using them in public is instantly a criminal. This does not physically stop them form being used because there are literally millions of them in people's homes and on the shelves of retail businesses and in warehouses. Someone who is motivated will pick up a video camera, point it at a person, and push the record button. Why would the operation of a gun be any different?
