I will say that the definition of an assault rifle should be base on the round being used and the capacity of the magazine.
The single trigger pull per bullet is pretty obvious.
The Brady Bill limited magazines to 10.
Numerous times we have seen the magazine change be the thing that allow someone to stop the shooter.
I respectfully disagree with your second sentence, and your final sentence.
in a vacuum, he's incorrect. but in reality, there has been at least a couple times were swapping mags was the moment the threat was put down.
the reason why is because most mass shooters don't practice dropping/reloading mags. there's actually a lot of normal law abiding citizens who don't, overall.
however, the magazine change narrative shouldn't even be one. IMO, magazine size is irrelevant because if the shooter has 2 + bodies down with the 1st mag, it's already a disaster. the magazine size is a preventive measure during the OCCURRENCE of the shooting itself. it does absolutely nothing to prevent someone from making the decision to pull the trigger, which is the entire point.
no matter how we try to limit the tools and accessories, it's still available.
Eve is the only one who brought up THE reason this crap happens. not the ONLY reason, but the main one.
