Federal law limits me to 3 shells when duck hunting, but no law limiting assault magazines. We have more protections for ducks than people.

Wait. What?
Assault magazine? Is that like the New Yorker, where you read it and then want to beat the crap out of the writers? http://t.co/FxrPRVfP

Jacob Sullum of Reason Magazine helpfully explains:
An “assault magazine,” by the way, is not a periodical you use to squash spiders; it is an ammunition feeding device that holds more than 10 rounds. Such illegitimate magazines, by their very nature, can be used only to attack people and never for self-defense, hunting, or sporting purposes.
