Were it not for the 100 shot magazine he used way more people would be dead or wounded. It jammed because of the large mag, had he been changing the gun doesn't jam. While I agree about the huge magazine, in this case it (and the common malfunction of such a thing) helped a bit.

That's interesting logic in support of 100 shot clips, you have to admit

people tend to focus on assault weapons and large magazines...prove to me that the death count would be lower if he'd had more guns, with less ammo per gun.
besides, if you bought a john wayne .30-.30., you never miss and it never, ever needs re-loading.
at any rate, had he gone in there with several semi-autos, we'd be hearing about whatever calibre and magazine was involved there too. i mean, who needs a 12 gauge, a bird is just as dead with a 20 gauge. or a .410 for that matter. or hey, just go down to a .22 plinkster...no, wait, those are bad too. one of those almost killed reagan and brady.

but hey, if everyone is chattering about guns, no one is chattering about jobs, banking, finance, war, unemployment, and housing for starters.

I am against such magazines, they serve no logical purpose. It was only an observation of the result of this usage.
