The more complicated you make something, the more potential there is for something to go wrong with it. Law enforcement heartily concurs. There is one hell of a lot of adrenaline pumping in any armed encounter. After a cop has been in a few, our adrenaline levels aren t as high as during our rookie years. But for the average citizen, who wouldn t want our job anyway, it s way up, to say nothing of what the attacker is experiencing.
Drugs are very often present.
Adrenaline is always present. The entire high-capacity magazine argument is absurd, anyway. Let s say Scummy Bob is on his way to shoot up the local schoolyard, but he s banned from having high-capacity magazines by the tireless crusaders for gun control. Scummy Bob s carrying three or four extra magazines. Any ham-fisted peasant can reload in less than two seconds with an absolute minimum of practice.
