[QUOTE="Chattanooga, post: 3258702, member: 154091"] For those interested, more polling has been done and the majority of Americans favor a ban on high-capacity magazines and the vast majority favor increased background checks. The majority opposes a ban on semi-automatic weapons and the vast majority opposes a ban on handguns. Personally, I agree on all four points, which I guess makes me a centrist by American standards http://www.guns.com/2012/12/28/gallup-poll-americans-oppose-assault-weapons-ban-but-support-universal-background-checks/ Only on single-action-only revolvers, a rarity nowadays. Most modern revolvers are single-action/double-action (you can fire the weapon without manually pulling back the hammer, or you can pull it back for a lighter trigger pull and thus more accuracy) or double-action-only (no exposed hammer--a common design with conceal-carry revolvers so that the hammer won't catch on clothing while you draw it). One to two additional magazines isn't unusual for those carrying a firearm for self-defense. Not everyone does, but some do. dis·in·gen·u·ous 1.withholding information: withholding or not taking account of known information 2.not genuinely sincere: giving a false impression of sincerity or simplicity WOW. I'm done debating with you if you're going to attack my integity instead of just disagreeing with my conclusions. Not to mention, arguing that the ability to quickly reload a pistol is equivalent to advocating private ownership of suitcase nukes...now there's a poor comparison if I've ever heard one. [/QUOTE]
