    Easier than defending a claim that thousands of children are killed every year in gun accidents, I suppose.

    You shouldn't criticize someone's poor spelling, with more poor spelling.

    What's is the usual spoken form of 'what is' or 'what has,' especially when 'has' is an auxiliary verb.

    without the apostrophe the word is misspelled.

    Really sad that you're focusing on this rather than the OP

    Try doing either of the above with your hands shaking from adrenaline, because you're fully aware that if you don't get that lock or that safe open you and your loved ones are going to die.

    Locks and safes only sound good to people ignorant of the realities of self-defense and security.

    My grandfather's solution was simple and effective. Pretty much from the moment I could walk he started what he called "gunproofing" me. Some of my earliest memories were of him teaching me firearms safety rules. Once I was old enough he started teaching me responsible gun handling. He demystified guns and taught me the realities of them, and I absorbed it like the information sponge children of that age always are. I knew how to be responsible around them, and I knew how to unload them and render them safe.

    My grandfather was a cop, and he always had guns around, and he understood the importance of teaching children how to safely coexist with things like firearms. I knew not to play with guns just like I knew not to stick a fork into a light socket, or to not touch a hot iron.

    Sadly, our society seems to have lost touch with such basic wisdom....

    Not if all the residents of the home are properly trained in safe gun handling.

    Limiting weapons violates the very core of the 2nd Amendment. That the courts have only rubberstamped governmental overreach on the issue fatally corrupts their credibility, as well as the validity of their rulings.

    Once again you reveal your abject ignorance of how self-defense works.

    Adrenaline hampers fine motor control, so modern training incorporates how to maximize gross motor skills under stress. Effective combat accuracy is thus enhanced.

    Aaaaaaand once again you MISS THE POINT. Purposefully so, obviously, because you don't have a valid argument to rebut it.

    You make something illegal, and all you achieve is creating a black market for it. Magazines are ludicrously easy to get, just like any other illegal item, if one is willing to break the law.

    When I was in law enforcement it was during the AWB of 1994. Mere possession of mags marked "LE/Military Only" was a felony.... and while that law was in effect fully 80% of the firearms I took off of bad guys had those mags in them.

    We banned alcohol, and organized crime - as well as the concurrent violence - was created essentially overnight.

    We banned illicit drugs... and the crime organizations filled the demand.

    We banned firearms ownership by criminals.... and criminals still get all the guns they want.

    Guess what happens if we ban mags? We hurt no one but the law-abiding, and achieve nothing but making the ignorant feel like "something has been done". Pure stupidity.

    if we banned 30-round magazines their availability would decrease substantially, for everyone

    Banned as in no longer for sale, or banned as in totally proscribed and confiscated?

    That statement is factually, demonstrably wrong.

    All we achieve with mag capacity restrictions is crippling the defensive utility of the firearms available to the public, in violation of their Constitutional rights of self-defense.
