Quack, quack, don't shoot! Oh duck...


I had the opportunity to duck hunt in my youth. I even got my duck calls ok. Our shotguns were limited to 3 shells which always seemed peculiar since you were shooting at a flying target. Limiting the shotgun to 3 shells is rooted in conservation efforts dating back to the 1930's. Shouldn’t we afford the same sporting chance to our fellow human beings? Is it not counterintuitive to allow 30 round magazines for rifles designed to kill humans? Wouldn't the lone gunman be hobbled by fewer rounds per magazine? An extra moment for law enforcement to take him down. A pause in gunfire for a hero to tackle the coward. We have accepted limits without forfeiting 2A rights. Can't we agree on some commonsense regulations? How many rounds should we limit magazines too? I don't know but can we start with less than 30?
