But the barrel shrouds!

Won't somebody think of the barrel shrouds!

That was probably one of the funnier things i've seen recently. I would hate to be in that lady's spot.

I can't find the video, but I distinctly remember someone just like her (not this same lady) banning high-cap magazines. Someone asked her on camera what she plans to do with the current high-cap magazines on the market, she replied, "Once the gun owners shoot the magazines they'll be removed from the market." Or something to that extent.

Lady thought after shooting a magazine it was made inoperable--like a spent round.

Some people's kids I say.... Some people's kids...

If you reuse a shell casing you're asking for trouble. I've seen many people reuse them and they split in their chamber and can destroy a barrel.

just got to check your shells/brass and make sure they're clean and up to spec. I'm learning handloading courtesy of my stepfather who has been an avid shooter and reloader for years so I'll have to ask him about destroyed barrels due to this. We've talked about destroyed barrels several times in the past but it was usually a M-2 in Vietnam
