Shooters know that gun bans don’t work, and neither does gun registration. But how do we communicate that message to the sheep who bleat their anti-gun lies?
With facts.
We need to keep the message short, powerful, and well-sourced. And we need to target the typical arguments that an anti-gun-nut will use to convince fence-sitters.

Here is a fact sheet, with citations, that you can use to quickly deflate the typical arguments of an anti-gun zealot.
And here is the PDF if you want to download it:
Again, if you want to alter or add to the document, email me and I’ll send you the original file.
Spread the word!
On the subject of “high-capacity” magazines not being a new phenomenon, here are some others I can think of that did not make the fact sheet:
-The Mexican Mondragon rifle when adopted by the German air service in WWI featured a 20 round drum magazine.
-The Luger had a drum magazine available for it (also in WWI) that held 32 rounds.
-The Mauser Gewehr ’98, Lee-Enfield, and M1903 Springfield all had magazine extensions made to increase their capacity (to 20 for the Lee and 25 for the Mauser and Springfield)
-There are also the 30 shot pinfire revolvers of the 19th Century (click on SPOILER to see the photos): http://forums.taleworlds.com/index.php?topic=115628.0
Well, I was trying to avoid any protruding magazines like the Luger snail drum which would be seized upon as “high capacity”.
You have a point there. But the 30 shot pinfire revolver certainly fits.
