The guy who shot Giffords had a clip for his automatic pistol that held 30+ shells. When a couple of people suggested that no one really needed a clip that held that many, the leaders of the legislature said they would not rush to judgement until they had heard all sides. If he had had a normal 10 shot mag, he would not have done nearly as much damage. They of course, say he was just one disturbed individual. How many shootings of this sort need to happen before we take some reasonable actions? And of course, it was suggested that if some of the crowd had been armed, they could have returned fire. Imagine if panicked people had stated shooting in a crowded tent.
