Gun ban zealot politicians in America, in state legislatures and in the U.S. Congress, are trying to enact bans on various types of modern firearms and bans on standard capacity magazines. While thousands of firearms rights activists are trying to persuade the gun ban zealots that their aspirations are misguided for a variety of reasons, they don’t seem to be paying attention. The gun ban zealots speciously argue that reducing magazine capacity would slow a deranged mass shooting massacre shooter. The gun ban zealot politicians also argue that the magazine changes required by smaller capacity magazines would provide bystanders an opportunity to tackle the shooting criminal during magazine switches. With those arguments in mind, the demonstrations in the videos below dispel such arguments as completely incorrect and unsupportable.

Sometimes a demonstration can be more communicative than verbal debate. Consequently, Boone County, Indiana sheriff Ken Campbell has created a video demonstration that compares the speed at which various shooters can accurately shoot and change ammunition magazines, first with a Glock Pistol, then with a standard AR-15 variant rifle, and then with a traditional revolver.
During the demonstration with the Glock pistol, two different shooters fired thirty (30) rounds at a three targets, first with two 15 round magazines, second with three 10 round magazines, and third with five 6 round magazines. The timings for each set of thirty (30) rounds ranged from about twenty (20) seconds to about thirty (30) seconds. For all practical purposes, that range of times was negligible and represent meaningless differentials.
