(13,616 posts)what happens to an Adam lanza or any numerous ones when these weapons, which are not equipped with easy, clip on magazines with more then 12 shots, run out of ammo?
The heavy clip, easy reloaded weapons are meant so that any fool can spray into a bunch (like the trenches the Tommy Gun was originally meant for) or where someone can keep shooting without reloading, because even these psychotic shooters know that once they have to reload, they go from Superman to a mortal man.
These assault weapons were built to carry more ammo, because in warfare, soldiers could not take time to reload.split seconds, as any veteran can tell you, can make the difference between going home and going into a body bag. The key word is, in warfare. No hunter has to worry about reloading in a split second because the Deer in front of him is firing an AK-47.
Heaven knows that if Deer could just drive down I-75 to a Florida "Gun Show", there would be no shortage of merchants selling them ammo, turning Bambi into Rambo. Actually, that won't happen, the merchants merely stick to ex-cons jacked up on anti-depressant medications, or his good buddy, who will sell it to him.
OH, and about the full auto conversion question you had in the other reply: (no one could really convert these into full auto)
