..."While criminals rarely fire more than 10 rounds (less than 3% of all criminal shootings recorded in NJ during the UofPenn study period involved 11 or more shots) firing more than 10 shots in self-defense is much more common. For example, in 2011 25% of New York City police shootings with aggressive advisories involved 11 or more shots, and while criminals bent on causing terror and destruction commonly carry additional magazines to allow for rapid reloading, very few self-defense situations allow for the effective reloading of magazines. In both Columbine (which occurred under the original assault weapons ban) and Virginia tech, most of the magazines used were 10 round or less. Expert review of both Aurora, Co and Newtown, CT have concluded that 10rd magazine limits would not have affected these shootings because the 1-2 second pause between magazines would not have allowed for an effective response without an armed civilian available to engage the shooter. Ten round magazine limits drastically reduce a law-abiding citizens ability to defend themselves while having almost no impact on gun violence or homicides."
"Assault Weapons Ban:" because you can't kill ANYBODY with an M1 Garand...

Anyone notice that the Mini-14 is on the exempt list?
Pretty funny since that gun was used in one of the most well known shoot outs in recent US history.

Ruger Mini-14 Tactical Rifle M-14/20CF is banned
Ruger Mini-14 w/o folding stock is exempt
Ruger Mini-30 (with or without a folding stock) is exempt
So, I can have a mini-30 with an adjustable length of pull stock, pistol grip, threaded barrel and a granade launcher and I'm still O.K.
Knowing of your interest in gun safety, I write to update you.
Like all Americans, I was shocked and deeply saddened by the tragic shooting in Newtown, Connecticut. Our deepest condolences go to the families of the children, teachers, and staff killed in this deadly shooting. My thoughts and prayers are with the families affected by this unfathomable tragedy. Such senseless violence shatters the sense of security that should exist in our communities.
As a graduate of the United States Military Academy and a former officer in the U.S. Army, I respect firearms and appreciate responsible gun ownership. I also recognize the role of hunting and other sporting activities involving guns, and believe firearms should be accessible to law-abiding citizens.
However, I believe we can, and must, do more to reduce gun-related crimes that shatter the lives of too many Americans. Throughout my tenure in Congress I have supported and proposed sensible gun safety legislation which I believe is consistent with the Second Amendment and recent Supreme Court rulings on this matter. The goal of such legislation has been to prevent potentially dangerous people, such as convicted felons or individuals with a history of mental instability, from buying or otherwise obtaining firearms. Currently, I am a cosponsor of:
- The Gun Show Background Check Act, which would close the loophole in federal gun laws that allows criminals to buy firearms at gun shows, defined as any public event where 50 or more firearms are offered for sale;
- The Large Capacity Ammunition Feeding Device Act, which would ban the manufacture and sale of ammunition magazines that have a capacity of more than ten rounds of ammunition, the kind that made the tragic shootings in Newtown, Aurora, and Tucson so lethal;
- The Denying Firearms and Explosives to Dangerous Terrorists Act, which would provide the Attorney General with discretionary authority to deny the transfer of a firearm or the issuance of a firearm or explosives license or permit when a background check reveals that the purchaser is a known or suspected terrorist;
- The Stop Online Ammunition Sales Act, which would effectively ban the online sale of ammunition except to licensed dealers; and
- The Assault Weapons Ban, which would prohibit the sale and manufacture of assault weapons and ban high-capacity ammunition magazines.
I was pleased that some of these proposals were included in President Obama’s recently-announced plan to help reduce gun violence. Further information is available on the White House's website athttp://go.usa.gov/4NXVNow is the time | The White House.
The events in Newtown and elsewhere have also brought greater attention to our nation’s mental health care system. Throughout my tenure in Congress, I have worked to ensure that individuals with mental and behavioral disorders have access to the treatment they need. I introduced the Garrett Lee Smith Memorial Act Reauthorization, which would authorize funding for youth suicide prevention efforts, and I am an original cosponsor of the Mental Health First Aid Act, which would authorize funding to train personnel on the front lines, like police officers and teachers, on how to help individuals in need. I also helped author the recently introduced Excellence in Mental Health Act, which would improve the treatment that Community Mental Health Centers provide.
Your thoughts are valuable to me, and you can be assured that I will keep them in mind should legislation regarding gun safety or mental health come before the full Senate for consideration.
As always, do not hesitate to write, call, or visit my website, http://www.reed.senate.gov/www.reed.senate.gov, in the future for information regarding this or any other matter.
Sincerely,
Jack Reed
United States Senator

That letter should be enough justification to execute him on sight.
Why are there exempt lists for bolt/lever/pump action guns. The law itself exempts them. Are they double-exempt?
That's so they can come back later after the dust settles and propose an amendment buried in some 20,000 page bill:Why are there exempt lists for bolt/lever/pump action guns. The law itself exempts them. Are they double-exempt?
