You're essentially advocating using a tragedy to further a political goal that may or may not have anything to do with the actual event.
No, I'm advocating that when something shitty happens, we try to fix what caused it. Not something unrelated.
Pretty sure access to extended magazines didn't cause this.
It sure as hell helped.
So as a result you'll ban them everywhere?
That's like the definition of reactionary policy.
"Some states are enacting barriers to minority voting, we should ban that at a federal level so it doesn't happen."
"SHUT UP FASCIST REACTIONARY!"
If there's no upside to something, but there is an obvious and visible downside to something, it is absolutely something that should be looked at legally. That's not reactionary, that's just looking at the data.

Yeah.
One of those situations actually fucking happened and resulted in widely touted federal regulations. The other is a ridiculous hypothetical that involves an armed man and an apparently unarmed lynch mob.
How is it ridiculous to suggest there's no upside to extended magazines? In what non-Mad Max situation does a lawful gun owner need to fire more than 15 (I believe that's the size of a normal magazine for this particular weapon) shots before reloading?
Are a swarm of deer attacking?

Self-righteousness is incompatible with coalition building.
While modern world is usually pretty funny, its painful to see it acknowledge the guy's motivations are unclear and then immediately try to tie it to political attacks.

Mentally ill people bent on assassination will probably be detered by the loss of their ability to purchase certain kinds of weapons.
Good call. Very common-sensy of you.
That's true. And I'd like to do something about that.
Not bad, but not semi-automatic with extended clip numbers.
They tried to bury us. They didn't know that we were seeds. 2018 Midterms. Get your shit together.

doesn't mean their job should be made as easy as possible
someone with enough determination could build a bomb. Does that mean we should sell TNT at the corner store?

Or are we just saying what should be legally obtainable, instead of simply possible to do?
Crazy person who wants to mass murder people will mass murder people. The method chosen will likely just be the path of least resistance.

I'll wait.

Ability to defend yourself from a lynch mob.
But then, knives and trucks are both valuable to society, and I have yet to see convincing evidence that 30 round clips are.

So take all the extended magazines from straight white people? Deal.
Seriously, that's ridiculous.

I had to fix this. Lack of intelligence is not going to stop someone with a chip on their shoulder.
Who's freaking out?
This from a guy who just said
Anyone with the internet can figure out how to cook meth. That doesn't mean we shouldn't regulate access to the stuff that goes into it.
Just because steps can fail to prevent bad stuff doesn't mean they shouldn't be taken.

Were there mass shootings from extended mag guns when said mags were illegal under the previous assult weapon bans?
We need to pass legislation to restrict truck rentals!

If the goal is to stop shootings like this one then there is little evidence it would do much.
This is getting off topic, this isn't a gun control thread.
course its in arizona where I'd rate the difficulty in getting a gun slightly higher than a library card
Isolated!
Toooooooootally isolated!
Also, does anyone else hear the isolated guy's lines in H. Jon Benjamin's voice or am I just excited for the Archer season 2 premiere tonight?
Make a gun thread.
It appears we're done here.
