Did Cho use the high-capacity (33) clips or didn't he? Who knows |

1. Police do. Cho didn't exactly take anything he used out of the building. |

I'm not convinced high-capacity clips or lack thereof would even do anything, y'know? All it means is having to reload more often, and reloading an automatic handgun takes only seconds.

4. OK, but, I say again... |
|
does the availability or lack thereof of high-capacity magazines in any way affect the ability of someone to carry out something like this?

5. Every time he had to stop and reload was a chance to escape. |
|
Wasn't it?
So answer your own damn question.

6. You can reload a semiauto in a couple seconds if you're proficient. |
|
It's hardly going to be that much additional time if you're not already moving.

It takes only a couple seconds — at most — to reload an automatic handgun. If you want to do something about the hardware, banning high-capacity clips, scopes, stocks, and whatever other accoutrements isn't going to do anything without doing something about the guns themselves.
Things like banning high-capacity clips just allow us to pat ourselves on the back and say we did something when, really, nothing's been done.

7. Hi-caps were always available. |
|
The ban only applied to new Mags. There were plenty of older ones and aftermarket mags abound.
