As a big supporter of the anti-assault weapon movement I need to say, we need more legislation to make this a reality.
Just a few days ago someone killed someone in a Assault Car. No one needs a car made from industrial strength steel with a high capacity gas tank. You only need 5 gallons of gas to get to work at most, we dont need these kinda of Assault Cars on the streets people!
@freemo maybe a more workable parallel for magazine capacity limits would be a kinetic energy cap? So you can have a 300kg motorcycle that goes 250km/h or a 3000kg SUV restricted to 80km/h. Incentivise people to choose the right vehicle rather than burning the gas to haul a couple extra tonnes of steel to the office and back every day. The protection against ramming attacks is just gravy.
@khird im not sure a kinetic energy cap is fitting. The energy per bullet is the same you just have fewer bullet sso you have to reload more.
Also, like extending your cars gas tank capacity it is absurdly trivial to build your own high capacity magazines, so it wont really do a damn thing to prevent criminals anyway.
@freemo right, I was thinking more from a perspective of "How do we limit the utility of this object for the perpetration of a mass casualty event, while still making it otherwise practical for its intended purpose?" That's ultimately the reasoning behind many gun laws, like bans on automatic weapons or large magazines. Regardless how easy it would be to circumvent, I just don't think the same reasoning could justify a tank limit. What mass casualty event saw the guy burn more than five gallons of gas, such that it could've been prevented had he been forced to stop and refuel?
@khird Or we could just recognize the obsurdity of such thinking, make guns and cars legal, and then just arrest people who use them incorrectly.
@khird The other thing is that the low capacity fuel thing isnt effective, thats kinda the point, neither are low capacity magazines :)
@khird Id love to see SUVs and all cars replaced with more fuel efficient or electric versions.I will just never pass up an opprtunity to mock something :)
