With gun control activists calling for the ban of “high-capacity” magazines in the aftermath of the Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School mass shooting, it turns out suspect Nikolas Cruz did not use “high-capacity” magazines. Instead, he opted to use 10-round magazines for his AR-15.
The Miami Herald reports Florida state Sen. Lauren Book (D) said Cruz carried 10-round magazines because larger capacity ones would not have fit in his duffel bag.
His rifle further jammed because both it and the bullets “were not high quality and were breaking apart.”
After his rifle jammed, he reportedly tossed it and was able to blend in with the evacuating students.
The March For Our Lives website, which was started by some of the survivors of the shooting in Florida, calls to ban “the sale of high-capacity magazines such as the ones the shooter at our school — and so many other recent mass shootings used.”

The Gun Grabbers don’t care about facts or reason. Their goal is gun confiscation.
The “high capacity” ban is a joke. Anyone can swap in a fresh mag in under 3 seconds. Libs never bother to learn the facts about what they spew.
Yep, exactly what I was going to say. What do facts have to do with the gun-grabbing argument?
California doesn’t allow you to eject a mag with a button; you have to use a tool instead. They don’t want you changing small capacity mags quickly.
I doubt the validity of this report. The S&W AR is a quality weapon. The bullets “breaking apart”? Yah, sure. If the AR would not fit in the duffle bag with a 30 rd. mag what would prevent him from carrying it with the mag detached and inserting it after it was removed from said duffle. Takes about 2 seconds. Then he talks about “magazine clips”.
Left is one of those, who, if you give an inch will take a mile or two!
What make of rifle and which brand of ammunition?
Enquiring minds want to know.
Something doesn't compute. I read Cruz used a S&W AR-15 -- that's a "high quality" implementation.
I have not read anthing about the ammo he used. But, never in my experience has ammo "broken apart", when using an AR.
This is bona fide "crap" reporting.
Standard mag release button on pistols has not been outlawed yet.
That’s right. And they use dead kids. They couldn’t care less about the slow motion mass shootings in places like Chicago.
If it was a Flintlock with
Black Powder and Ball ammo
Libtards would Still demand
They be surrendered
For the Children!
Reference;
Concord and Lexington.
Chicago on a mediocre weekend dwarfs Parkland, but where does the outrage go?
The Bullet Button was designed after the CA Commie La Raza Politburo decided a “tool” was needed to change out a Magazine.
They didn’t like that someone designed a “tool”, the point of a Bullet to meet their ridiculous Law.
They just made the former “CA Legal” AR Platform Illegal. Just move the Goalposts one inch at a time and nobody will notice.
Not necessarily true. if your AR15 is featureless, you do not need a bullet button anymore.
“Just move the Goalposts one inch at a time and nobody will notice.”
Yep, the old frog in the pot parable. The commies plotted this “march through the institutions” in the 60s and 70s. They finally woke up to the fact that the violent revolution of the proletariat to “throw off their chains” would never happen. Instead, they began decades-long efforts to undermine everything and have been very successful at it. Incrementally destroying 2A is just one small piece of their aims - education, healthcare, the press, religion, parenting, abortion, entertainment, energy, communications technology — they are beavering away at all of it and have largely succeeded.
“...they use dead kids”
That’s my exact take, too. In fact, I think they secretly LIKE these mass murders so they can further their aims. —> “you have to break a few eggs to make an omelette.”
What does “featureless” mean? I don’t know much about firearms.
