Gun Control doesn't have to be all or nothing. Bottom line is that we already have gun control, the question is: is it enough, or too much?

While "gun control" may not be popular, I also dont hear people asking for the repeal of the ban on automatic weapons.  On the other hand there isn't much call for banning all guns, so the question is, where to draw the line. I think with this latest tragedy and with Tuscon it is not unreasonable to start talking about banning extended magazines, which were banned for a decade untile the assault weapons ban lapsed in 2004.

THis is what the CO killer used...

Here it is on video: http://youtu.be/e3KOKS_HwQU

I'm pretty sure most Americans would agree that these kinds of military weapons shouldn't be available to civilians, certainly not so easily available as they were in this case.

Will banning these kinds of weapons or extended clips stop mass shootings? No. But it will give future victims more time to run or get to cover or fight back while the next a##hole who goes on a shooting spree has to stop to to reload
