...you've got to be scared at President Biden, who noted yesterday that he's trying to "limit the number of bullets in a cartridge." Given that the number of bullets in a loaded cartridge is always 1, or possibly zero in the case of a "blank", the only thing that could be done by passing a law or regulation to "limit the number of bullets in a cartridge" would be to possibly ban shotgun shells, which are (along with other long guns like rifles) responsible for the fewest firearm murders, accidents, and suicides.
It's bad enough that our President does not apparently know what "shall not be infringed" means, but it's even worse that Biden doesn't even know basic terminology and facts about the debate. If you want to reduce gun (and overdose) deaths, you stop allowing "big players" (including government) to bend markets to their whims, reduce barriers to effective mental health care, and finally you prosecute the "minor" gun crimes like straw purchases and illegal possession of a firearm.
On the flip side, even if you completely banned assault weapons, and were completely effective and nobody substituted another weapon for an "assault weapon", you would save maybe a few hundred lives per year. Let's go with what might work.
