“The Second Amendment,” they’ll scream, “is about muskets!”

The antis like to use the argument about magazine capacity and how capacities over some arbitrary number are unnecessary in civilian, non-police arms because nutjobs can cause too much destruction too quickly.

Okay, let’s think that through but in terms of the atrocity committed by the recent nutjob.

Not including the first murder he committed at the initial crime scene, assorted accounts say the police response from first call to get on scene at the second crime scene was 20 minutes.

There were 27 people murdered in those 20 minutes. Assuming he used but one firearm and that it was loaded when the clock started, that means 26 reloads are needed in 20 minutes: 46 seconds per reload.

How long does it take to reload a musket? 15-20 seconds?

How long does it take for a good person to stop a psychopath? A second or two to see it, then another two or three to stop it.

The capacity and type of tool that Evil uses is irrelevant. It’s that Evil exists and that we must cope with it.

When Evil it rears its ugly head, you’ll have but seconds to identify it and send it back into the darkness.
