I have not seen or been in a firefight. But as a Navy veteran I have read some Medal of Honor citations.
Many received many wounds from gun fire, I do not remember the recipient but his citation listed around 30 gunshot wounds received while rescuing fallen comrades.
Every one of those amazing Medal of Honor recipients show 7 rounds are a start not a limit.
Great article.

Yes. Any restriction on capacity is a deprivation of our 2a rights.

In case no one has told you, the 2a wasn’t written for the government, or “soldiers at war” as you put it, which is obviously implying the U.S. Army. The irony of that statement is most impressive, albeit unintentional..

Maybe you’re a bit more of a fudd than you try to lead on.

In reply to Brian Campbell. Thank you sir. And more importantly, thank you for what you did for us in Iraq. I was lucky to never get hit or have any of my Soldiers hit in OIF, but we always knew that if it happened you guys would do everything you could to keep us alive.

Very good article with excellent reasons to have greater than 7 rounds and spare magazines to boot! I served in Iraq in 2006-07 at a Combat Support Hospital and an attest that many of our patients were insurgents that survived multiple GSWs to limbs and torsos but still survived. They were hit by several different calibers and included center of mass shots that they survived long enough to be saved by our great medical staff. One issue kesrnedvis how the body survives on the adrenaline produced during an armed encounter wheather being the shooter or being shot, however, once that adrenaline dump goes away the body crimps and sometimes in an unsurvivable manner. In other words they enter triage walking and talking but when given any treatment they crash quickly. This just supports why so many stories exist about people shot multiple times without going down. One other pet peave is how Hollywood portrays gun shot wounds, themain character is hit in the shoulder or upper heat and has a sling or bandage in the next scene! No chest tube or amputated limb from the destructive force of high velocity rounds shattering bones and joints. Thanks again for the great information supporting the law abiding civilians 2nd amendment rights!
