WASHINGTON - Colorado Congresswoman Diana DeGette is plunging into the gun control debate with new legislation to ban high-capacity magazines.

DeGette introduced the proposal Thursday. The Democratic Congresswoman's district includes the site of the 1999 massacre at Columbine High School. It is also adjacent to last year's Aurora movie theater shooting site. In both of those attacks, the shooters' rifles were modified with high-capacity magazines. Those devices allow attackers to fire dozens of bullets without pausing to reload.

True to form leftist enemies of freedom make up some false "solution" to a real problem. Personally, I think keeping psychotic people bent on violence out of schools is a far better solution to violence in schools than continuing to let mentally ill people shoot up schools and movie theaters using guns with smaller capacity magazines. If I had a 1st grader in a school I wouldn't want a deranged person killing kids with any weapon. Against unarmed victims it really doesn't matter what the magazine capacity of the weapon is, or for that matter what the weapon is.

Anybody who really cared about the victims and preventing similar future attacks would seek a solution that would actually help prevent the problem, such as expanding security protection in schools. But Congresswoman DeGette is more concerned with weakening our nation and advancing her leftist agenda than protecting our children.

From the headline I though she wanted “large” magazines like the National Enquirer banned.
