Dick Cheney: 'Maybe it's Appropriate' to Limit Gun Magazine Size'

Daily News @ http://RevolutionNews.US — Former Vice President Dick Cheney, a stalwart Second Amendment rights activist and notorious hunter, appeared to open the door to some form of future gun-control legislation in a recent interview with NBC News.

In the wake of the tragedy in Tucson, Ariz., NBC's Jamie Gangel asked Cheney how he felt about a new push aimed at firearm restrictions, which have run the gamut from a bill prohibiting them near legislators to an effort to ban high-capacity magazines. Cheney, a longtime friend of the National Rifle Association, perhaps surprisingly seemed at least somewhat receptive to the latter.

"I'd certainly be willing to listen to ideas. I have always been a gun advocate, obviously had a strong voting record on behalf of the Second Amendment. That's just what I believe, and whether or not there's some measure there in terms of limiting the size of the magazine that you can buy to go with semi-automatic weapons -- we've had that in place before," the former vice president said, referring to the federal assault weapons ban that expired in 2004. "Maybe it's appropriate to reestablish that kind of thing, but I think you do have to be careful, obviously."

High-capacity magazines were allowed back onto the market when the ban was allowed to sunset in 2004, after being signed into law by President Bill Clinton as a 10-year measure.

GOP Sen. Richard Lugar (Ind.) stood against much of his own party last week when he voiced support for legislation that would serve to reinstate such a ban.

When is MADDCOW going off the air???

[TABOOVSKNOWLEDGE]

Magazines? IM belt feed!

[Zyworski]

Playing devil's advocate and approaching this from the opposite end of the spectrum, what if concealed single round derringers were treated more lightly under the law, would a private citizen be more likely to be armed and able to intercede in mass killings? I could live with a 12 round limitation on pistol magazines and a 16-20 round limitation on rifle magazines.

[Zyworski]

Although limiting the magazine capacity of a weapon generally sounds like a good idea there are problems. On a pistol when the magazine hold more than about 12 rounds it protrudes from the gun, is obtrusive and affects the balance of the weapon, so minor limitations are something I would comply with regardless. The government which suffers from chronic incompetence would take a good idea too for and have us all with 6 round magazines that defeat the purpose of having a semi auto in the 1st place

[Tm0g762]

Bullshit at 1:55! Even during the ban it was still possible to buy grandfathered in high cap magazines. They just cost more.

[DEGAUSS138]

It's not the gun its the person who uses it. I could stab someone in the head right now with a fucking pencil, should we ban pencils? THIS BITCH DOESN'T MENTION THE CONSTITUTION! Fucking cunt

[mlke4258]

You can make a 60rd magazine with 6 ten rounders taped together after simply modifying five of them.

[KalashnikovKid762]

@FranzAntonMesmer You're fucking retarded.

[mariojseverino]

this bitch blaming the nra.

[rambone5]

Dick Cheney is a statist asshole.

[deltaxxzero]

@FranzAntonMesmer your retarded they get there money from memberships by law abiding citizens.... and she is just a run of the mill anti gun control advocate who thinks fewer gun in citizens hands will limit crime from criminals who get theres illegally.....

[deltaxxzero]

he changed his mag and he had a mag malfunction and thats how they subdued the shooter....and the anti gun guy just keeps yelling trying to make his point through aggression...
