"Criminals are Going to Get Guns"

[T]he Senate on Wednesday approved a ban on high-capacity gun magazines.

Ammunition clips holding more than 10 rounds of ammunition would be illegal under legislation that passed...and was sent to the House.

Sen. Dan Kotowski sold the bill as one that doesn’t limit the manufacture or sale of guns...

“Criminals are going to get guns,” Kotowski said. “Why not limit the damage that they can cause?”

And you don't think they'll be able to get magazines, Dan?

Of course you do. This is just a lie to give your treason some cover.

How do we know he's really after the guns?
Kotowski also is sponsoring a ban on .50-caliber assault rifles which is awaiting a Senate floor vote.
In an interesting side development, Armed and Safe tells us the magazine ban was at the expense of a bill that addressed sexual exploitation of children.

What is a .50 caliber assault rifle? .50 Beowulf maybe? It sure isn't a .50BMG.

As if the liberholes have any clue how to stop crime. I did a little research and turned up some very interesting statitistics that definitively proves that the Democrats are the absolute last ones you want to place credence in when they're talking about reducing crime. Here have a look at what I've found.

I think tnhey'll want to include anything that is .50 caliber. Damn! There goes my flintlock!

We're going to fight this magazine capacity limit as hard as we can, but now that it's passed the Senate, it has a lot of momentum--it's going to be a tough one. It's pretty telling that it won in the Senate despite not a single Senator (or a married one, either ;-) ) outside of the Chicago area voting for it. This state is ruled by that statist sewer.

Thanks for posting this, David.
