[QUOTE="UPS Lifer, post: 1086503, member: 9789"] Haven't heard much about using large capacity clips. I was actually leaning toward restricting large clips until a Democrat came up with these scenarios. Preface: I have guns for one reason only; to protect myself and my family and my property. That is it. I believe in the sanctity of life above all else and hope to God I never have to pull a trigger on one of my guns for protection. I also believe in your right not to own a gun or a hunter's right to shoot for sport Scenario 1: I have a semi-automatic gun with a clip with 7 rounds, 3 armed gunman break into my house all with semi-automatic pistols with 7 round clips. They assess my situation, 7 bullets against 21 bullets. They take the odds and start shooting, I get a few rounds off. They wound me, I wound one of them, they decide to get their wounded buddy and get out of there BUT for good measure they put one more in my head. Scenario 2: I have an AR with a banana clip, the 3 gunman have pistols but see that AR and decide that they don't like the odds all that well and start slowly out the door and get out of there AND they never come back! Nobody got hurt or killed. You can make any scenario up that you want but if the bad guy thinks they have you outgunned, there will be a gunfight. They broke in for a reason and won't leave there without what they wanted unless they fear their own lives are in jeopardy. [/QUOTE]
