Durbin, Law Professor Argue Over Gun Magazine Limits (VIDEO) | TPM LiveWire

Logic is not a wingnut strong suit,  even when the wingnut is a law professor.--SS   

Durbin, Law Professor Argue Over Gun Magazine Limits (VIDEO) | TPM LiveWire:

"If you can rationalize a 100-round drum that someone can strap onto a semi-automatic weapon, as it did in Aurora, Colo., and turn it loose, killing dozens of people there and saving lives only because it jammed, then you certainly ought to object to the laws that have been on the books for 80 years about machine guns. Why aren't they allowed under the Second Amendment?" Durbin said.

Kopel responded that machine guns aren't allowed because they are not "commonly used by law-abiding citizens for legitimate purposes."

"But 100-round magazines are?" Durbin said.
