Regardless the results would have been the same if he had used any other 9mm pistol.
One suggestion I don't see enough of us to actually prosecute the perpetrators of domestic violence and throw the book at them. The Men's Rights activists are just as intense as the 2A fanatics, but they are an easier group to go after. Homicide by firearm is so entwined with domestic violence that it seems like an obvious area to look at. >

The basically singular push for an assault weapons ban is getting a little tiring to me, especially because it doesn't actually address most shootings and wouldn't at all reduce the number of mass shootings. We should absolutely do something about the issue, but banning assault weapons won't stop shooters from using other weapons which are just as deadly. It feels like a symbolic step which sounds big in soundbytes, not an actual step which would measurably reduce mass shootings. >

Like the scary ghost guns.... yep, most criminals I know own jigs, routers, drill presses, and have the mechanical aptitude to craft  firearms. /s 
But whatever, sides have been chosen and you're just yelling at folks who would rather eat their own tongue than change their minds. >

Are you familiar with handguns? The type of gun responsible for the vast majority or murders? The one that wouldn't be banned under an assault weapons ban? >

Quite familiar, thanks. Sounds like you need to read more. Feinstein's proposal includes anything with a detachable magazine that holds more than 10 rounds or a bunch of other characteristics that she deems "military" in purpose...
Completely farcical. >

I understand the need and difficulty concerning writing adequate gun legislation but restricting the mag capacity of a firearm to reduce their lethality is like reducing a car’s fuel tank capacity in order to limit it’s speed. >

Does less bullets contained not slow down the amount of rounds one can reasonably fire off. I mean, the logic adds up. 
It's more akin to limiting miles per gallon in an effort to prop up the fuel industry. >

I can do a mag swap in under 2 seconds. It does nothing. >

It gives someone two seconds to stave your head in with a fire extinguisher.
Also, the vast majority of mass shooters aren't going to be as practiced. So even more time. >

Very few people will run towards an active shooter as well, your point is moot. >

neither cali shooting involved an assault weapon of any description. how would that help prevent future crimes? >

It is functionally no different than any other 9mm semi-automatic handgun...Its just scary looking.
